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

slide-14
SLIDE 14

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.

SLIDE 15

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
