Subject grade reflects pupil’s performance in
each subject (A*- E, Ungraded)
Aggregate score shows pupil’s overall
performance in the exam (e.g. 189, 242…)
•Aggregate score = sum of T-Scores of 4 subjects
•Each of the 4 subjects carries the same
weighting in the computation of the Aggregate
score

What is T-Score?
Aggregate Score = sum of T-Scores of 4 subjects
Mark for each subject is converted to a transformed score - T - Score
•Reflects the pupil’s standing relative to the other pupils in the subject
•The raw mark obtained in the exam only shows how good the pupil is in that subject, not how good she is as compared to others.

Calculation of T-Score
Where:
• x: pupil’s mark for the subject
• m: average mark (mean) scored by all pupils
• SD: spread of marks around the average mark
(standard deviation)
T-score = 50 + 10(x – m)
SD

Example:
• Pupil’s mark (x) in exam = 50.0
• Average mark (m)scored by all pupils = 68.0
• Spread of marks (SD) around the ave marks = 14.0
T = 50 + 10(50 – 68.0)
14.0

Calculation of Aggregate Score
The aggregate score is calculated by adding the T-Scores of the 4 subjects.
Aggregate Score = 269
