T-SCORE T-Score is the transformed score of each subject
It is based on raw scores, mean and standard deviation
Aggregate SCORE Sum of the T-score of the three/four subjects
Rank or position students based on their results at the
national level

It shows how well
a student has done compared to his
cohort.
The T-score Aggregate largely
determines which secondary school
a student is posted to.
A student with ‘better’ letter grades
may have a lower T-score Aggregate
than a student with ‘poorer’ letter
grades.

HOW S1 POSTING WORKS
The T-score Aggregate is the
first criterion for posting.
Students are posted based on their choice order of schools, starting from the first choice.
If all the places in the first-choice school have been filled, the school that is second on the list will be considered.
But the order in which a student lists the schools does not give him priority when deciding who will get a place.
22
How S1 posting works
• 3 Singaporean students have chosen School F as one of their choices, but there are only 2 places left in the school.
• Azlina and Colin were not successfully posted to schools higher in their choices.
