Higher mother tongue is not included in the
computation of PSLE aggregate score
Any aggregate of 250 and above will be given HMT
or 3rd language option
PSLE Aggregate
Incorporates performance of pupils in all 4
subjects
Allows pupils to be ranked fairly
Why use T- Score
Different subjects have different levels of
difficulty
So are the spread of marks from the average
mark, i.e. the standard deviation
(spread = standard deviation)
What is 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
PSLE T-Score
T-score
50 + 10 ( X - Y )
Z
X = pupil’s mark for the
subject
Y = average mark scored
by all pupils
Z = spread of marks
around the average
mark (Standard Deviation)
T- Score
Pupil’s mark for the subject = 80
Average mark scored by
all pupils
= 60
Spread of marks around
the average mark
= 20
T-score = 50
= 60
+
10 (80 - 60)

A need for standardisation
of the raw scores
Transformed Score

Aggregate calculation
English Paper: Ave marks, Y = 85; Std Dev, Z = 25
Maths Paper: Ave marks, Y = 50; Std Dev, Z = 10
T(Subject) = 50 + 10 (X – Y)/Z
