PSLE Aggregate Calculation

• Not the marks of the examination.

• Rank or position of a pupil’s performance compared to all other pupils in that subject.

• All 4 / 3 subjects that the pupil offers carry equal weighting.

• http://road-to-psle.blogspot.sg/2007/11/how-psle-aggregate-and-t-scores-are.html


PSLE Aggregate Calculation

• T = 50 + 10 (X – Y) / Z

• X is the pupil’s mark for the subject

• Y is the average mark (mean) scored by all the pupils

• Z is the spread of the marks around the average mark (standard deviation)

• We have no way of ascertaining what the X and Z for any particular exam is
