What is a T-Score?
It gives the relative position of a
pupil’s performance as compared to
the performance of all other pupils
in that subject.
The raw mark obtained in the exam
only shows how good the pupil is in
that subject, not how good he is
compared to others.
How is T-Score calculated?
T = 50 + 10 (X-Y)
Z
Where
X = pupil’s mark for the subject
Y = average mark (mean) scored by all
pupils
Z = spread of marks around the
average mark (standard deviation)
Example:
Pupil’s mark (X) in exam = 50.0
Average mark (Y) scored by all pupils = 68.0
Spread of marks (Z) around the average = 14.0
T = 50 + 10 (50-68)
14
= 50 + 10 (-18)
14
= 37.14
How is the Aggregate Score calculated?
By adding the T-scores for ALL 4 subjects
Example:
Subject Total Mark T-score
EL 1 200 105 34
CL2 200 152 51
Maths 100 67 53
Science 100 58 47
Aggregate: 185
Choice Of Secondary Schools
Pointers to remember:
* using your child’s academic performance in school as a guide
* very good performance in higher MT has an opportunity to choose SAP schools
* affiliated secondary schools subject to availability of places
* to save your child’s time in travelling, choose
a school near your home
