previous year
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 41
• Include a range of schools in the selection
1st choice – cut-off above her score
(around 5 pts)
2nd – 4th choices - cut-off within her score

(5 – 10 pts below)
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 42

depending on demand for places &
vacancies
• If our hild s PSLE T-score is near the

PSLE T-SCORE
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 52

pupils in all 4 subjects
Allows pupils to be ranked fairly
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 54
Lear i g … Creativit … Gra ious ess … ‘espo si ilit … I tegrit
Can raw scores be used?
NO
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 55
Why Not?
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)
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 56
Example : Mary scores 85% in both EL and MT
85%
EL
EL ave
= 60
MT
MT ave
= 80
Her performance in MT is very close
to that of other pupils
She did much better in
EL as compared to other
pupils

T-Score converts average mark of each subject to a common
score of 50 points. It also converts other marks taking into
consideration the extent to which they differ from the average
and the size of spread of the marks around the average
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 59
What is T-Score?
• It gives the relative positio 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
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 60
How is T-Score calculated for each
subject?
where
X: pupil s ark for the su je t
Y: average mark (mean) scored by all pupils
Z: spread of marks around the average
mark (standard deviation)
Z
Y) - (X 10 50 T + =
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 61
Example:
• Pupil s ark X i e a = 50.0
• Average mark (Y) scored by all pupils = 68.0
• Spread of marks (Z) around the average mark (Y)
= 14.0
T = 50 + 10 (50 - 68.0)
14.0 = 37.14
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 62
How is the Aggregate
Score calculated?
By adding the T-Scores of
the 4 subjects
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 63
Example:
Subject Total Mark T-Score
EL1 200 105 34
CL2 200 152 51
Maths 100 67 53
Science 100 58 47
Aggregate: 185
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 64
Finally,
all pupils are ranked according to their
Aggregate Scores
Raffles Girls’ Primary School Learning…Creativity…Graciousness…Responsibility…Integrity 65
T-SCORES & GRADES:
Is it possible for a pupil with 3A* and 1A to be
ranked lower than another pupil who has only
1A* and 3As?
Yes, it is possible
