The percentage of getting A for chinese stpm n other subject

could anyone tell me the percentage?especially chinese......

[kevinkhoo1986]

I am not very sure. But as for SPM last year, i found that most of the students get A2 for it, very few get A1 for chinese language. Ermmm... sorry for posting the irrelevant reply.

For STPM Chinese, I don't have statistics for the whole country, but from my high school, Jit Sin, 58 take STPM Chinese, and 18 of those get A (31.03%) and 10 get A- . So in total 28 out of 58 get A or A- (48.3%).

Last year, my school was not really highly-ranked, so the percentages of many other schools would be even higher.

Other subjects:-
PA 131/237 get A (55.3%) and 164/237 get A or A- (69.2%)
Math T 45/126 get A (35.7%) and 65/126 get A or A- (51.6%)
Bio 6/74 get A (8.1%) and 22/74 get A or A- (29.7%)
Chem 31/126 get A (24.6%) and 51/126 get A or A- (40.5%)
Physics 4/52 get A (7.7%) and 12/52 get A or A- (23.1%)
Math LT 1/6 get A (16.7%) and 4/6 get A or A- (66.7%)
Econ 64/111 get A (57.7%) and 73/111 get A or A- (65.8%)
Accounting 11/79 get A (13.9%) and 23/79 get A or A- (29.1%)

For SPM Mandarin, my school 52.7% of students get A1 or A2 in it.

I'm digressing here. Normally, the percentage of people who get A for Chinese in SPM and STPM is not very high because Chinese is not a compulsory subject and most of them who took it and better-than average in their language proficiency. This in turn raises the overall score and as a result, the cut off score for A tend to be higher than other subjects.

For STPM subjects, if u work hard for it, u will get at least A-. One of my friends, she got B3 in Chinese SPM (same like me,but only 3 person in my class got A, maybe the paper marked by insane examiner), but she managed to got an A in Chinese STPM. U have to study a lot for this paper, is something like Sejarah (need to memorize facts)!! My school, Jit Sin approximately 50% got A/A- (only Commerce students took this paper.) Chung Ling has a higher percentage of A/A- in this paper compared to us (thts what I heard)

can anyone confirm with me whether there is a curve/cut off points for the grades in STPM? can anyone give me a clearer view on how they come up with cgpa for each subjects?

thx in advance

Nothing is transparent to the public, what we have guessed here in ReCom in other threads, is basically a concept that the results for the whole country will be tabulated and a curve "drawn", then an arbitrary cutting point is set for A1, A2, B3 etc. There is another theory saying that there is a fixed cutting point, let's say 80 for a certain subject. Someone even said once that the A1 cutting point for chinese language is about 90.

But then again, nobody is really sure here. Personally, I am more towards the arbitrary cutting point theory.

There is no cut off point for any government exam paper. My guess for STPM is 75++ A, 66++ A-.
A 4.0000
A- 3.66
B+3.33
B 3.000 & then so on.

Ha ha :P :P , B & below is not relevant for u. U wouldn't get such bad result, isn't it ???
For One paper (eg Physics), there is Part 1, 2 &3 . So, assume part 1, U get A, Part 2 u get A-, Part 3 u get B+. The end results is A for Physics (U may also get A- or B+ depend on ur luck). For 5 national STPM top scorers, all their individual papers , they got straight A's.
The best way to know is to ask your senior & then ask them to let u have a glance of their exam slip/ ask your school counsellor.

if there's isnt any cut off marks,so how they come up with (let say) 75%++ ==> A and so on?

For One paper (eg Physics), there is Part 1, 2 &3 . So, assume part 1, U get A, Part 2 u get A-, Part 3 u get B+. The end results is A for Physics (U may also get A- or B+ depend on ur luck)

that part, i understand, but my question is that how MPM determine whether i get A,A- and etc for each paper 1,2 and 3 respectively? do they drawn that curve and determine what marks are equivalent to grades?

for example, in my school exam recently. paper 2 contributes 60% in the overall grade.in order to get A for paper 2 for science subjects, we need at least 90%++ or 54++/60 (when u change to 60%). so does this benchmarks (90%) varies from years to years or fixed?

or maybe they have set certain marks for certain grades in individual papers, and the final grade (overall) is affected by the "curve"and so on? ( the part where luck plays a part)

i will be so glad if anyone can clarify on this.

btw, Irresistible, r u a STPM Leaver?

I am College student after completing my SPM in 2001. I only attended form6 for a few weeks. How I know tht 76++ is A and so on ???? Actually, thats what the answer given by my friends(STPM 2003). That is in their opinion, most of them said between 75-80 marks for A. They are top scorers (4 As)la, and their words make sense....

Actually, no one will know how much constitute A, A- for STPM, A1or A2 in SPM ,not even your teacher. U can ask your senior tht perform well in STPM to have a rough idea about this .We can only estimate,like I guess SPM A1 is 70++ marks based on the info in Recom.

Anyway, try your best. :wink: :wink: :wink:
