Any aggregate of 250 and above will be given HMT or 3rd language option
Subjects taken at PSLE
Incorporates performance of pupils in all 4 subjects
Allows pupils to be ranked fairly
PSLE Aggregate
Different subjects have different levels of difficulty
So are the spread of marks from the average mark, i.e. the standard deviation
(spread = standard deviation)
Why use T- Score
What is T-Score
It gives the relative position of a pupil’s performance as compared to the performance of all the other pupils in that subject.
The raw mark obtained in the exam only shows how good the pupil is in that subject, not how good he is as compared to others .
T-score 50 + 10 ( X - Y )
ZX = pupil’s mark for the
subjectY = average mark scored
by all pupilsZ = spread of marks
around the average mark (Standard Deviation)
PSLE T-Score
Pupil’s mark for the subject = 80Average mark scored byall pupils = 60Spread of marks aroundthe average mark = 20
T-score = 50 + 10 (80 - 60)20
= 60
