PSLE T-SCORE


PSLE T-SCORE IS USED INSTEAD OF

RAW SCORE BECAUSE:

• Different subjects have different levels of

difficulty

• So are the spread of marks from the

average mark, i.e. the Standard Deviation


PSLE 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 for

that particular paper, not how good he is as

compared to others.


RAW MARKS vs PSLE T-SCORE

FORMULA

X - M

50 + --------- x 10

SD

X - Marks scored by the pupil (Raw Marks)

Factors to Consider when filling up Option Form

comparable to the child’s academic ability

Reference

Sec school’s cut-off scores in previous years


Other Factors to consider

Besides school’s academic standard, there are other important factors to consider :

Distance from home

School Programmes, Schemes and school culture


Other Factors

IB Programme (ACS[I]) , IP (RI/RGS/RJC, HCI/NGH)

Independent schools, SAP schools

Sports School, Arts School

NUS Math & Science School

Our 2015 pupils have done better in all

subjects in comparison with our 2014

pupils.

Our hope is that our 2016 pupils will do

even better than our 2015 pupils in all

subjects.


ERRATIC PERFORMANCE

1 Lack of emotional support

2 Plateau – those who have relaxed

3 Lack home monitoring

4 Lack enthusiasm, push

• Generally, those who have

improved are those who are serious

and consistent in their effort,

motivated by self or others.


OUR CONCERNS

1 Some are still taking it easy - not

serious about their work

2 Pupils not completing work given

by teachers

3 Need parents’ help to supervise at

home


Vision : Every Si Ling Pupil a Scholar who Leads and Serves
