In one of my earlier post, I have given an estimate of raw score to t-score conversation rate using 257/350.

Is your daughter t-score result around 265-267?
If 4 A* = 91 91 91 91, the total raw score marks will be 364.
If you multiply 364 by the conversation rate you will get 267.
One possible explanation is that the school standards for languages can be higher than PSLE. So some students will actually do better in PSLE. Even it is 90.1 marks, it will round up to 91 I think.[/quote]Her classmate at 264, also 4A*. -

267.

If you believe A* is 89, then 89 x 4 x (257/350) = 261.
What do you reckon is the right value for A*? -
I'm genuinely confused.
Why can it not be 95*2+85*2? That will also give a Tscore of 264.3. How does your calculation prove that all subjects have the same A* score?
In fact, by similar calculation, i can get Tscore 267 (99*2+85*2). How can this show that 85 is not A*? Unless there is proof that A* for all subjects means the same score, any kind of calculation can be done. Agreed that it is difficult to imagine A* for a score in the 70s, but 80s still seem plausible.Veyron\" post_id=\"2041978\" time=\"1634032300\" user_id=\"30663:

You are right because we are discussing the minimum t-score for 4A*

Certainly, a 3A* + A t-score can be higher than 4A*
This is the same reason why AL6 students can achieve a higher raw score or T-score equivalent than AL4
e.g
AL6 95 95 89 89
AL4 90 90 90 90
One very good example is the AL COP for NYGH.
T-score COP is 261 in 2020, similar to RGS, but AL COP for 2020 is AL7, while RGS is AL6 -

Is it because NYGH is SAP, thus t-score can be 258+3?

T-score COP is 261 in 2020, similar to RGS, but AL COP for 2020 is AL7, while RGS is AL6 -
HCL Merit is worth 2 bonus points, so if we deducted the 2 points off NYGH 261-2 = 259,
RI COP 2020 was 259, but indicative AL COP is AL6.
MGS COP 2020 was 257, but indicative AL COP is AL6,
IMO AL7 balloting at NYGH will be extremely risky because AL7 (M) will now include students with 253 t-scores + (M), which in 2020 t-score term is 255. And since 259 is already higher than AL6 min score, it will be possible that COP for 2021 will be AL6 instead of AL7. -

There will be no balloting for AL7 students without HCL if COP is AL7(M). AL7(M) ranks higher than AL7. Similarly, AL7(D) ranks higher than AL7(M).

M= HCL merit (2)
With 253/4 as the lowest possible t-score for AL7 t-score in 2020, any students with 253/4 + HCL merit would have qualified or try to apply for NYGH if AL system was introduced last year with similar indicative AL COP of AL7 (m)
Unfortunate under the t-score system, a 253/4 + 2 (255-256) will certainly not get a chance for NYGH because historical COP for the school (non-affiliated) has always been around 259-261.
And this is the reason why I expect intense competition at NYGH in 2021 if COP remains at AL7(M)
