All About T-Score

\"Q: What are the eligibility criteria for taking HMTL?

1.Top 10% PSLE pupils

OR


2.Top 11 – 30% PSLE pupils with an A* in the Mother Tongue Language (MTL) OR at least a MERIT in the Higher Mother Tongue Language (HMTL)\"

Hope the above helps. :lol:

I think the above info is in the PSLE booklets given.

That is quite misleading bcos you have not post the full facts.

If you are offered Higher Mother Tongue Language, you are not necessary top 10%, you could be in the top 11-30%. (BECAUSE it is \"OR\")

Read further down the PSLE booklets given, you are only sure that you are top 10% IF and ONLY IF you are offered French, German or Japs.

As ooptimizer has confirmed that her daughter got 249 & was offered Frnch, German or Japs, we can only conclude that this year's cohort of top 10% is 249 or higher.

(Unless anyone who is 248 or lower can confirm that their DS or DD also was offered F,G or Jap ?)

Does anyone knows what is last year’s top 10%?


(as someone has said the top 10% this year is likely 249 and above).

This year’s results seemed to be lower than the past years, does anyone agrees with me?

[ooptimizer]

Should be the around the same every year, + or - 2 points.

Someone here said her/his kid got 248 & was offered German, French & Japs:

So top 10% for 2009 PSLE is 248 onwards (unless someone with 247 or lower can confirm they are also offered German, French & Japs).

hi all


My child will be taking her PSLE this year.
She is taking 3 standard subjects and 1 foundation maths (decided by the school).

I am worried that with this combination, her T-score will be low even though she may do well in EL, CL and Sc. Just because when the foundation maths marks add to the other 3 subjects, it will pull the overall marks down. May I right to say that? Roughly any idea what the marks range will be?

Or should I appeal to the school and switch her to standard maths after her CA1 in Mar? New additional topics covered for standard Maths to-date are alegbra and nets.

Hope to receive your advice and share your experience with me.

Thanks a lot.

Some school says that the foundation subject will not affect the T-score
