The Ministry of Education (MOE) has decided not to include the highest and lowest aggregate scores for this year's Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), which will be released this Friday.
This is "to allow the student to focus on his own achievement and holistic development," said the ministry in a footnote embedded in a statement released on Tuesday.
Students may obtain their result slips from their primary schools from 11 am onwards on that day.
Thereafter, they may log on to the MOE website atwww.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/secondary-one-posting/ to submit their Secondary 1 options, or do so at their primary schools from 11am to 3pm on Friday, and 9am to 3pm from Nov 25 to Nov 28. The Secondary 1 posting results will be announced on Dec 20.
good luck to them.

any 12 yr olds wanna post your score?
More pupils who sat the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) this year made it to the Express stream in secondary school compared to last year.
Of the 43,047 Primary 6 students who took the exam, 66.7 per cent qualified for the Express stream, up from 63.1 per cent last year. Of the cohort, 19.9 per cent made it to the Normal (Academic) stream and 10.9 per cent to the Normal (Technical) course.
Results released on Friday showed that overall, 97.5 per cent of the cohort were assessed suitable to proceed to secondary school, similar to last year.
But in a departure from previous years, the result slips handed out to pupils on Friday came without the highest and lowest scores achieved by pupils in the cohort. The Ministry of Education, which announced the change earlier this week, said it was to allow pupils to focus on their own achievements and holistic development. Last year, the top and bottom scores were 285 and 43. This followed the ministry's decision last year to end the practice of naming the top PSLE scorer so as to bring balance to the over-emphasis on academic results.
dunno wat magic they done to the bell curve
the top scores and mean scores of the top schools are significantly lower

About 10 years ago when i took my PSLE never really need to study to pass.
Recently i am helping my tutor friend look for some assesment books in popular, realised the standard of english had gone up a lot. I don't even understand some of the words.
Maths questions are not as straight forward as before.

mine is 196,borderline express.I recall trying so hard to get to express(I was the bottom 30% in my school),eventually succeeded. However,Psle does not determine your future greatly.I know of students in elite schools,not faring as well as their psle ought to indicate.
will this be the last year they issuing T-scores?
Without T-score, what yardstick to use to decide which student to go to which school ?
I would prefer MOE not to do away with the T-score.
in order to promote every school is a good school
they are suggesting to go with banding (range) instead of an "exact" score
eg.
>280 band A1
270-279 band A2
260-269 band A3
so on the result slips, you will see A3 instead of 265
