2008 PSLE sees almost 97% of students eligible for secondary schools
Singapore: Results for the Primary School Leaving Examinisations
(PSLE) released Thursday show that almost 97% of the students who took
the exam have qualified for secondary schools.
A total of 49, 856 Primary 6 pupils sat for the PSLE this year, which is 39 pupils more than last year's cohort.
Almost 64% are eligible for the express course, while some 22% qualified for Normal Academic and 12% for Normal Technical.
The top student this year is Wee Yen Jean from Nanyang Primary School.
Eligible pupils who would have received their sealed option forms
to select secondary schools from their primary schools today can submit
their choices on-line or through their primary school.
The secondary one posting results will be released on 18 December
and students will have to report to their posted secondary schools at
8.30am that day.
This is the first year six full-time Madrasahs (Muslim religious
schools) are required to meet a minimum PSLE benchmark at least twice
in every 3-year assessment period from this year in order to admit new
Primary 1 pupils.
For the 2003 primary one cohort, four of the six madrasahs met the
benchmark, while two, Madrasah Al-Arabiah and Madrasah Wak Tanjong did
not meet the benchmark.
In all, 313 pupils at the madrasahs have been assessed as suitable
to proceed to secondary school. 41% are for the Express course, 48% for
the Normal Academic and the rest for Normal Technical.

lol, agreeable.
Getting above 250 is exceptional for me already.
A pity my score is not even a whisk near it. But I long casted that aside.
So long you work hard... you can still succeed.

where can i get myself a "software upgrade"? i want to install "smart kid 2.11"
loll
YAY! My results is going to be out ler.
PSLE is all about hard and rigorous work. When I was in P4 my results weren't that great but I worked hard with the support of my family and tutors and got a good score last year.
Referring to the second post on the first page:
The maximum for T-Score is not 300. Theoretically, if we let T(x) be the function which gives the T-Score for an arbitrary student x, the range of T(x) is $10 \leq T(x) \geq +\infty$. (The code within the dollar signs is in LaTeX; type it into http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTeX/AoPS_L_TeXer.php without the dollar signs to view the inequality).
$T=10+50(\frac{X-Y}{Z}$
if Z tends to 0, then T tends to infinity; if Z tends to infinity, T tends to 10.
No matter how bad a student is in his/her studies, he/she can't get a score below 10. Amazing!
