PSLE - A Placement Exam
• Need to reflect the relative achievement level of pupils among their peers.
• Places students 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
T-Score
• Gives the relative position of a student’s performance in comparison to the performance of all the other students in that subject.
• Incorporates performance of students in all 4 subjects.
• Allows students to be ranked fairly nation-wide.
Example:Alex has scored 85% in English
85% obtained only shows how good Alex is in English, not how good he is as compared to others.
His PSLE English grade (A, B, C etc) is dependent on his performance in comparison to other students nation-wide.
The PSLE Aggregate Score
Alex
I scored 85% in both English and Mother Tongue!
Will he have the same grade for both?

Alex’s performance as compared to other students nation-wide.
His performance in MT is very close to that of other pupils.
He did much better in EL as compared to other pupils
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
Z
Y)-(X1050T +=
X: pupil’s mark for the subjectY: average mark (mean) scored by all pupilZ: spread of marks around the average mark (standard deviation)
Example:
• Pupil’s mark (X) in exam = 50.0
• Average mark (Y) scored by all pupils = 68.0
• Spread of marks (Z) around the average mark (Y) = 14.0
T = 50 + 10(50 - 68.0)
14.0= 37.14
How is T-Score calculated for each subject ?
How is the Aggregate Score calculated?
By adding the T-Scores of the 4 subjects
Subject Total Mark T-Score

Direct School Admission (DSA)
•Selection exercise based on students’ talents in academic and non-academic areas
•Criteria is determined by each individual secondary school
•119 Secondary Schools in 2016
What is DSA?
•To give schools greater flexibility in student admission
•To allow a more diverse range of talents and achievements to be recognised
•To allow schools the flexibility to consider students with abilities not reflected in the PSLE range

Teaching & Learning
English
Components Study tips
Oral • Make use of the Oral Companion booklet
• Read, Record, Listen and Improve
• Read with intonation, pauses, don’t forget end consonants
SBC – Make use of the 5Ws and 1H, elaborate, provide personal
opinions

the page
• Compulsory to use at least one of the 3 pictures provided
• Read more to get ideas from other writers
Grammar MCQ • Study the grammar booklet provided by the school
• Study the grammar tips in ‘Power Up’
Vocabulary • Learn your spelling
• Know the words in your STELLAR Reader
• Read and learn the vocabulary from the Straits Times, Little
Red Dot, other print & non-print materials
EnglishComponents Study tips
Editing • Learn your spelling
• Learn words that are commonly misspelt e.g. ‘disappointed’ ->
‘dissapointed’
• If the word is underlined and it is not a spelling mistake, then it
would be a grammar mistake
Comprehension Cloze • Make use of strategies stated in the Comprehension Cloze
booklet provided by the school
• Read widely to gain more vocabulary on different topics e.g. both
fiction and non fiction text

answers
• Watch your tenses

Please communicate more often in mandarin at home
with the child.

Comprehension
21% in PSLE
Insufficient reading of Chinese passage, therefore
pupil lack of CL vocabulary.
1) To read Chinese books and weekly magazine,
watch the Chinese News. (eg. 新列车)
2) To train children in their higher order thinking skill,
by asking guiding questions, such as,
why do you think he/she is wrong?
If you are the person, what should you do?

Mathematics
1. Systematic approach in preparing the students for school-based and National
examinations
• Revision checklist for self-assessment and set
focus for learning
• Extended LearningTo strengthen meta-cognitive
skills such as inductive &
deductive reasoning
2. Students’ learning attitude and parents’ support is also important to ensure academic
excellence.
• Assessment for
learning – Topical
quizzes (not graded)
MathematicsA spiral learning of Mathematics is adopted
in the building up of conceptual knowledge
across the levels, from P1 to P6.
Topics ConceptsLevel of
Learning
Whole
Numbers
(4) Numbers up to 10 million
P4&5• round off numbers up to the nearest 1000 and use the
approximation symbol ≈
(5) Four Operations
P3-5• add and subtract numbers without using calculators
• multiply and divide by tens, hundreds and thousands
without using calculators
• solve word problems involving the 4 operations
(6) Factors and multiples
P4
• determine if a 1-digit number is a factor of a given number
• list all factors of a given number up to 100
• common factors of two given numbers
• relationship between factor and multiple
• determine if a number is a multiple of a given 1-digit
number
• determine if a 1-digit number is a factor of a given number
• list all factors of a given number up to 100
• common factors of two given numbers
• relationship between factor and multiple
• determine if a number is a multiple of a given 1-digit
number
A spiral approach is
adopted in the building up
of content across the
levels.
*Note that every year of
learning is a pre-requisite
of the following year.
Pupils are required to
recall what they had
learnt.
Processes and skills learnt
must be used to connect
different mathematical
concepts and context in
problem-solving.
MathematicsA spiral learning of Mathematics is adopted
in the building up of conceptual knowledge
across the levels, from P1 to P6.
Topics ConceptsLevel of
Learning
ALGEBRA
(1) Using Letters as Numbers
P6
· use a letter to represent an unknown number
· evaluate simple algebraic expressions by substitution
(2) Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
· write and simplify algebraic in one variable
(3) Word Problems
· solve word problems involving algebraic expressions
One example of the
importance of spiral
approach is in the learning
of seemingly stand alone
topics such as Geometry
& Algebra.
Without prior knowledge
of whole numbers,
fractions & mathematical
operations , the pupils will
find the concept of
algebraic expressions and
geometrical calculations
too abstract for learning.
Mathematics
New Assessment Format 2018
Cognitive Demand
AO1 – Recall and application
AO2 – Question Interpretation and
application of problem solving skills in a
variety of context
AO3 – Interpret, Analyse, Reasoning
(inductive & deductive)
Useful Tips
Practice the habit of careful reading.
Write down all the method steps carefully,
[such as labelling their steps so that they are
aware and will not miss out any critical steps
or values.]
Remember to write the mathematical units at
the answer blanks, missing units will result in
deduction of answer mark.
Encourage your child not to give up
