PSLE - A Placement Exam
• Reflects the relative achievement
level of pupils within their peers
• Places pupils into different courses
according to their academic ability
• Enables posting to secondary
schools by merit and as far as
possible into a school of their
choice.
The PSLE Aggregate Score
• Incorporates performance of
pupils in all 4 subjects
• Allows pupils to be ranked fairly
What is Transformed (T)-Score?
• It gives the relative position of a
pupil’s performance as compared to
the performance of all the other
pupils in that subject
• The raw mark obtained in the exam
only shows how good the pupil is in
that subject, not how good he is as
compared to others
How is T-Score calculated
for each subject?
where
X: pupil’s mark for the subject
Y: average mark (mean) scored by all
pupils
Z: spread of marks around the average
mark (standard deviation)
Z
Y) - (X 10 50 T + =

the 4 subjects

CCA in Semester 2
P6 students do not need to attend CCA from
Term 3 onwards, unless otherwise
instructed by CCA teachers.
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my
eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more
stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
-- Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over
Again"
