Choose Secondary school for 2010

Vikaesh:

If i get 88 for math, 92 for english, 94 for MT and 92 for science, Is it possible to get to RI. Based on estimated mean and SD, i get 283 but is it accurate? :?

I knew of 3 kids who get A* for every subject (in different years). Their T-scores are in the range of 270 to 272 only. :oops: The Top students in those years I think have T-score of 280 to 285.

Therefore, if the Top T-score is 290 then getting a 270 will not be a problem which also means going to RI (assuming the cut-off is raised to 265)

RI cut off point is only 261

Hi atutor2001,

Your standards and expectations very high leh. To me, 270 to 272 is excellent regardless of top student score of 280 to 285.

Agree with you. 270 and above should be considered excellent. Because for the top 4 school, the median of their T-score is around 266-7 and mean also around there. Which means 50% of the students having T-score 267 and below.

So in total, for RI, 99% of students has T-Score range from 263 to 270

In RGS sec1 this year, there are total 13 classes, 3 out of this 13 classes are consists of high scorers and GEP pupils. I think the percentage of students have 270 above is much higher than 1%. My dd got all A* for her last year’s PSLE, her T-score is slightly below 270.

Hi chengsmummy, are there 3 or 4 GEP/high scorer classes? I thought there were 4. Thanks.

Just curious. If you don't mind me asking, chengsmummy, is your dd in 1 of the 3 top classes?

Hi Dharma

You get me wrong. I was only trying to give Vikaesh an idea of the T-score a child actually get with 4 A* relative to the Top score in that year.

Vikaesh was trying to estimate his T-score with certain estimated raw score. For T-score estimation, we need to relate it to the Top score in that year. That is why I highlighted the Top scores of those years where the 4 A* get about 270.

So if the Top score this year is 290, then I expect a child with 4 A* will also get higher T-score than other years, which is why I think the cut-off point of RI will also go up this year. The scores given are for making estimation based on past actual data, not for judging whether is 270 good enough.

Thanks for the clarification, atutor2001. I made my comments with reference to your statement ...\"Their T-scores are in the range of 270 to 272 only.\"
