How will PSLE scores be calculated?
• Raw mark for each subject is converted to a transformed score (T-score)
• The Aggregate Score is the sum of the pupil’s T-score in all subjects
– Each subject carries equal weighting
School Vision: Engaged Learners, Caring Leaders 15
The PSLE final score takes into account :
• Content and demand of each subject
• Number of subjects offered in standard or foundation
How will PSLE scores be
calculated?
School Vision: Engaged Learners, Caring Leaders 16
Why is this so?
• PSLE Aggregate scores are needed for Secondary School Posting
• Allocation of pupils into Special/Express, Normal (Academic) or Normal (Technical) course
• Those who fail with U grade in one subject repeat PSLE in all Foundation subjects
