The PSLE Aggregate Score
• incorporates performance
of pupils in all 4 subjects
• allows pupils to be ranked
fairly
Why Not Use Raw Score?
• 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)
