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
