Subject grade reflects pupil’s performance in each subject (A*- E, Ungraded) Aggregate score shows pupil’s overall performance in the exam (e.g. 189, 242…)

• Aggregate score = sum of T-Scores of 4 subjects
• Each of the 4 subjects carries the same

weighting in the computation of the Aggregate score

PSLE Aggregate Score

What is T-Score?

14

Character & Citizenship Education Partnership

Aggregate Score = sum of T-Scores of 4 subjects Mark for each subject is converted to a transformed score - T-Score

• Reflects the pupil’s standing relative to the other pupils

in the subject

• The raw mark obtained in the exam only shows the

individual’s performance in that subject, not how the pupil has performed compared to others.

Computation of Aggregate Score

15

Character & Citizenship Education Partnership

• The aggregate score does not include Higher

Mother Tongue.

• Computation of the aggregate score takes into

account:

• the difference in demand between Standard and

Foundation subjects

• the number of examinable subjects taken
