PSLE – Placement Exam

Need to reflect the relative achievement

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.

PSLE – Examinable Subjects

English / Foundation English

Mathematics / Foundation Mathematics

Science / Foundation Science

Higher Mother Tongue* /Mother Tongue*/

Foundation Mother Tongue* *Not applicable to pupils exempted from MT

All subjects carry equal weightage

PSLE T-SCORE

A need for standardization of the

raw scores in PSLE

Transformed

Score or T-Score

Calculation of PSLE T-Score

T-score = 50 +10(x – m)/SD

x is the pupil’s mark (raw score);

m is the average mark scored by all

the pupils who sat for the subject;

SD is the standard deviation

Example : • Pupil A’s marks (X) in English exam = 80

• Average mark (m) scored

by all pupils = 68

• Spread of marks (SD) around

the average mark (m) = 14

T = 50 +

= 58.57

10 (80 – 68) 14

Example :
