What do you think about the new PSLE scoring system next year? It's supposed to focus on child’s development rather than fixate on competition by using Achievement Levels (ALs) rather than T-score?
The new PSLE scoring system uses Achievement Levels (ALs) based on a student’s individual subject scores instead of a T-score, which benchmarks a child’s performance relative to their peers.

It sounds about the same to me though... Any thoughts?

At first, I thought it's the same because this won't stop helicopter parents from pursuing the top via tuition.
I asked my friend and my friend said it stops people from comparing over minute differences.
I also went to read https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/psl...
I then came to (my own) conclusion that this system protects the children, which is a good thing. Children are delicate. Everything we say and do impact them for a long, long time.
It does not make sense to claim for sure that someone with a T-score of 201 is more capable than one with a score of 200... what if the former person spotted the question, etc?
