        Hi. I am new here. DS taking PSLE this year as well.


        I like to know what's the average scores for cloze passages in Eng paper 2 booklet B. Also any tips to help DC on improving the scores for this section?
        It is difficult to provide a definite answer for your first question.
        However, we will share the following 3 points with you. Try it out and let us know if they help.

        1. Read the first and last sentence of the cloze first. They are usually complete sentences and allow the reader to anticipate what the main theme is about.
        2. The rule of 2. Quite a number of the blanks require looking at the sentences immediately before and after it. Hence, do not 'read-and-fill in' from start to end.
        3. Invest time and effort in looking through grammar cloze passages. A student might falter if he faces a blank that requires a specific word that is not in his range but all comprehension cloze passages will have a fair share of blanks that require connectors, modals, relative pronouns, phrasal verbs and prepositions.

        Hope it helps. Let us know if you need more concrete examples.

                Hi all, my gal was not doing well in her SA1. 😞 just want to check if her target for psle is 245, what should be her average score for each subject? Is there anywhere that I could do a rough calculation based on her current SA1 results?

                    Roughly ah since we do not know the std dev......to achieve t-score of 245, average marks is about 81.6 thereabout

                      to target T-score of 245, based on 4 core subjects (P6 English, Maths, Science, Mother tongue):-


                      on average

                      per subject:
                      need to score at least minimum 85 marks & above.

                      calculation (formulae)

                      take 85 marks x Total 4 subjects, equal 340.

                      Then take 340 x 0.72 (to be a bit conservative, cautious) equal T-score 244.8, approximately. Close enough to reach 245.

                      That means, one of the 4 subjects : need to be higher than 85 marks, in order to exceed 245.

                      That means:-
                      take your child’s Total of 4 subjects, add them all up, then multiply by 0.72, approximation.

                      Why do we take : multiply by 0.72 approximation ?

                      because we do not have the actual figures of your primary school’s 2018 P6 cohort students’ actual SA1 / SA2 performance mean, standard deviation, etc. to compute.

                      For P6 students taking Higher Mother tongue (HMT) :-
                      the HMT score itself is separated, from the main 4 core subjects.

                      Higher Mother Tongue, will not touch the Total of your 4 core PSLE subjects.

                        Quick rule of thumb calculation is total of the 4 marks multiply by 0.70 to 0.75. More accurate calculations would require the average & standard deviation of the national cohort.
