12. SUBJECT-BASED BANDING AT P5
In summary, your child will take a subject determined by the school at Primary 6, based on our professional judgement of what would be best for your child.
At the end of P6, your child will sit for the PSLE. For your child’s cohort, all subjects are examinable except Foundation Science. Examinable Foundation Science will only be offered one year later as we need to review the Foundation Science syllabus to make it examinable, as it is not currently designed as an examinable subject. 12 12

Transformed Score or T-Score

18. Calculation of PSLE T-Score
T-score = (x – m)/SD
Where
x is the pupil’s mark (raw score);
m is the average mark scored by all
the pupils who sat for the subject;
SD is the standard deviation

19. Example : Pupil A’s marks (X) in English exam = 80
Average mark (m) scored by all pupils = 68
Spread of marks (SD) around the average mark (m) = 14
T = 50 +
= 58.57
10 (80 – 68)
