sadhuvish:

Can anyone please explain how the school allocation based on choices work? For the following case:

school A is choice one and school B is choice 2
Last year cut-off for school A is 2 point greater than child’s T-score
Last year cut-off for school B is same as child T-score.
Is it safe to make school preference choices as above? If school A not allocated, will school B be automatically allocated (provided the cut-off is same as last year for both schools)?

TIA

Yes, generally its down to the decimal places for school B then

Congrats all parents and children who went went through PSLE!!

Can any parent share if your child or anyone you know is taking 3 standard and 1 foundation subject, how did they do?
Did the foundation subject affect the T-Score greatly? DD is diagnosed with dyslexia despite teachers and physiologist’s recommendation,MOE rejected our application for exemption for Chinese. DD is taking foundation Chinese but is still failing badly, English and Science are at bolderline and math slightly better in 60s. DD is taking PSLE next year and I am very worried . Is there any chance DD will have a chance to go NA? Will taking foundation means DD will go NT for sure?
If DD scores C for Eng and Sci, B for Math but fail foundation chinese, will this score most likely be NA or NT?

Hi, what about bell curve consideration?

Lukeysmummy:

can anyone shed light on this T score calculation eg


3A and 1C - Tscore is 202
2A 1B 1C - Tscore is 212
3A and 1A* - Tscore is 238

Computer got error? Thanks

My boy took PSLE last year we were expecting 1A*, 2A and 1C but instead
he got 215 from 3A and 1C, so my guess is he got high A for one/two of the subject
So I think it is possible for 202 at 3A and 1C, if the A are low A.

IP with less than 250 has very low chance

Here comes the age old question

Will it jeopardize our chances for choice 3 onwards, of we proceed with IP for choice 1 n 2?

Thanks
