phtthp:Yes, correct.
In this example, we have child A, child B : both competing for school X
The entire 2017 Psle cohort T-score get sorted first, before computer start processing.
A will enter school X first before B, because A's request for Secondary schools admission gets processed first by MOE computer, before B's request :
because A's T-score at 250, is one point higher than B's T-score at 249. A T-score may not be exactly 250 on the dot, but can be 250.123456... (eg) with many decimal points trailing behind.
Likewise, B T-score may not be exactly 249 right on the dot, but can be 249.345678... (eg)
Whose request, get processed first, by computer ?
Will be the Top scholar, amongst entire 2017 Psle cohort.
Whose request, get processed last ?
Will be the last candidate, right at the very bottom of the cohort, with the lowest Psle T-score.
Psle batches for (2018, 2019, 2020 last batch) : will follow this same method of processing.
Come 2021, T-score go down history.
AL (Achievement level) score takes over.
So if the whole PSLE cohort t score will be ranked in order before allocation, how will a child t-score be ranked as if he is applying SAP school with his HMT marks.
Eg Student A 239 ( w/o HMT) apply to an SAP school
Student B 238 + 2 (HMT) will he be ranked first before Student A as his marks is 240.
Hope someone can enlighten on this. :thankyou:
