The Key to high score in PSLE is very simple, high score in every subject! The T-score is average weighted so if one subject is 10 marks less, your t-score will go down by as much as 7-8 points. (the above is an estimation, all results are hypothetical.)
Step 1: Know your current situation.
filling in the follow form
What school and/or (cut off point) t-score do you want? (Give me a number!) ____________/_________________
T-Score I desire: __________(a)
reference points
- <=120 : Normal Technical course -----> ITE-----> NITEC cert
- 120-180 : Normal (academy) ---->ITE/Poly ----> NITEC cert/Diploma/advanced Dipolma
- 180-240 : Express ------> JC/Poly -----> University
- 240- : IP/Express ------> JC/Poly -----> University
- >260: ivy league colleges ---> NUS/NTU
Step 2 Know your score
Subject tscore needed is tscore for school*1/3.
(This is a rough guess of actual t-score which will go through complex computation.)
English/Chinese/Math/Sci average score: __________[(b)=(a)/3]
Eg, if you want 240 then each subject need 240/3=80 points.
Step 3 Know your results
List down your P5 SA2 results.
Eg, EL:80, CL:70, Math:70, Science:50
(all results according to SA2 or overall results, based on 100%)
English : __________
MT : __________
Math : __________
Science : __________
*Note, all results are based on 100%.
Step 4 Know your journey
Compare P5 SA2 to Subject t-score needed to for desired T-score.
P5 SA2(c) Desired Tscore(b) Gap (c)-(b)[see below]
English : __________ __________ __________
MT : __________ __________ __________
Math : __________ __________ __________
Science : __________ __________ __________
Step 5 Plan your journey
Determine the gap between desired results and current Prelim marks.
Then plan a timetable to study each subject equally for 1 hour everyday. That will take 4 hours a day to study.
Step 6 Plan a grand plan
Plan a 6 months study program for each subject with study+revision etc
take a test every end of month to test understanding
(If you did not have a test, just go
https://www.testpapersfree.com/2019/ and take all the 4 tests in each subject in strict time limit and convert that score to 100%)
Eg
Month | El | CL | Math | Science | tscore |
May | | | | | |
June
| | | | | |
Jul | | | | | |
August | | | | | |
September | | | | | |
| | | | | |
Step 7
Use Prelim results to check progress for your PSLE results.
Good luck in your journey.
