  • Raw scores are the simple sum of answers

the student answered correctly.

  • 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 .

Using Peter’s Maths exam as an example,

  • Peter’s mark (X) in Maths exam = 85.0
  • Mean mark (Y) scored by all pupils = 80.0
  • Spread of marks (Z) around the average mark = 30.5

T = 50 + 10 (85.0 - 80.0) 30.5 = 51.6

For school-based exams, T-scores (for 4 standard subjects

  • nly) will be calculated and given to the students through the

Form Teachers after each exam. The T-Score on the target-setting card is only based on the sample size of our P6 cohort. It is not a representation of the national cohort.

Home-School Collaboration

  • READING & SPEAKING are imperative to success in

English!

Please support us by:

  • Modelling good language use practices at home. i.e. speaking SE
  • Encouraging READING on a daily basis (this is where vocabulary is acquired and

grammar structures taught in school internalised)

  • P6 kids should be ‘devouring’ a book a week or a fortnight
  • Encouraging your kid to READ WIDELY

(novels, news, guide books, visual images, short stories, information texts etc)

  • TALK to your kid about what’s current and what she has read. Also talk about what

you see around you. This would get her speaking and thinking on her feet.
