How To Set Targets?

* Look at your entry results (Pri 5 results) for all

subjects. Get the total and multiply by 0.72 to get

estimated T-score.

eg: EL: 75 Math: 66 Sci: 70 MT: 89

(75+66+70+89) x 0.72 = 216 (T-score)

• For students who are sitting for 3 subjects - get the

total then divide by 3 and multiply by 4 & then multiply

by 0.72 to get estimated T-score.

eg: EL: 80 Math: 75 Sci: 70

(80+75+70) divide by 3, x by 4 x 0.72 = 216 (T-score)
