for your child

Every child will be encouraged to do the

subjects at the levels that best meet

his/her abilities

strengths and abilities that vary across

subjects

To encourage greater interaction among

pupils with different strengths

How are PSLE scores calculated?

The PSLE scoring system remains unchanged

The raw mark for each subject is converted

to a transformed score (T-score)

The T-score reflects the pupils’ standing

relative to other pupils on a common scale

The Aggregate Score is the sum of the T-

score in all subjects

Each subject carries equal weighting

Read the passage below and answer the following questions.

During recess, Zak was playing with his iron ball at Prince

Primary School. He was trying to throw his iron ball when suddenly,

the iron ball slipped off his hands and rolled into the drain near a

pond. Zak stared at the ball sadly, not knowing what to do. He tried

to reach for his iron ball but to no avail. He found a long twig on the

grass and tried to get the ball out using the twig.

Section H: Comprehension

If you love ice cream but you are tired of chocolate,

strawberry and vanilla flavours, it is probably time to go local. Local

flavours such as durian, red bean and sweet corn have been around

for a long time. They are usually served by a friendly ice-cream man

on his motorcycle which is not a common sight these days.
