The PSLE Aggregate Score
• incorporates performance
of pupils in all 4 subjects
• allows pupils to be ranked
fairly
![Page 9: Briefing for P6Parents 2019 - Ministry of Education · Nan Hua High NUS High School of Math and Science River Valley High School of Science & Technology School Of The Arts Singapore](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/612d935b1ecc515869424670/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why Not?
• Different subjects have different
levels of difficulty
• So are the spread of marks from
the average mark, i.e. the
standard deviation
• (spread = standard deviation)
