  17. PSLE T-SCORE Transformed Score or T-Score A need for standardization of the raw scores in PSLE

  18. Calculation of PSLE T-Score T-score = 50 +10(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 : 10 (80 – 68) 14 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
