T-scores of students
What is a T-Score?
It gives the relative position of a student’s performance as compared to the performance of all other students in that subject.
The raw score obtained in the exam only shows how good the student is in that subject, not how good he is compared to others.
How is T-Score calculated?
T = 50 + 𝟏𝟎×(𝑿−𝒀)
𝒁
Where
X = student’s mark for the subject
Y = average mark (mean) scored by all
students
Z = spread of marks around the
average mark (standard deviation)
Example:
Pupil’s mark (X) in exam = 50.0
Average mark (Y) scored by all pupils = 68.0
Spread of marks (Z) around the average = 14.0
T = 50 + 10×(50−68)
14
= 50 – 180
14
= 37.14
How is the Aggregate Score calculated?
By adding the T-scores for ALL 4 subjects
Example:
Subject Total Mark T-score
EL 1 200 105 34
CL2 200 152 51
Maths 100 67 53
Science 100 58 47
Aggregate: 185
T-Scores and Grades
Is it possible for a student with 3A* and 1A to be ranked lower than another student who has only 1A* and 3As?
YES
