i heard the previous star student failed in her studies in Britain. Anyone can confirm?

[Dino]

Errr.....are my eyes deceiving me? 19 A1's?
WTF? Why so many wan? :blink:

[WitchKing]

There's something to be said about the effort she put in to achieve what she did. If it was something so common it would not be a story worth mentioning. So I say Syabas!....and dont let anything belittle the accomplishment that you have managed to reach for yourself.

[alfred98]

Congras!!! Thinks are getting more obvious nowadays....

[petertok]

i heard the previous star student failed in her studies in Britain. Anyone can confirm?

not failed that teruk la.. but definitely not Cambridge stuff i heard...

[WitchKing]

not failed that teruk la.. but definitely not Cambridge stuff i heard...

there is a difference in the attitude of those who study to LEARN, as opposed to those who study to get a GRADE.

[Odysseus]

Nothing against her but I think our school exam results are being too politicized to show 'results' of producing smart students:o

She scored 14A1s, 4A2s and 13B.........and not 19A1s.

[Odysseus]

She scored 14A1s, 4A2s and 13B.........and not 19A1s.
Wah!!!! She took 31 subjects ah. OMG!!!!

[LiLiaN]

how did anyone manage to take THAT many subjects?

[bizzi]

She scored 14A1s, 4A2s and 13B.........and not 19A1s.

he probably meant 14 x A1.. 4 x A2 and 1 x B3 = 19 subjects

go to the first post

he probably meant 14 x A1.. 4 x A2 and 1 x B3 = 19 subjects
is there B3 grade? i thought it's C3... :confused:
(then again this breakdown makes more sense than 30+ subjects)

[cxtreme]

grading

A1
A2
B3
B4
C5
C6
E7
E8
F9

A1 and A2 are distinction, b3 to c6 is credit, e7/8 is pass..and f9 (or G9 ) is fail

[bizzi]

these days it goes like this

* A1
* A2
* B3
* B4
* C5
* C6
* D7
* E8
* G9 (G = Gagal)

Well, acs s'wan record holder will be the one and only Young Su Ling, with 16 As. Since the max will only be 12 from this yr on, so this record will remain. :)

Nadiah gets only 18 As instead

By TEH ENG HOCK

BATU PAHAT: Nadiah Amirah Jamil, who was widely speculated to have scored 19 1As in the SPM examination, obtained 14 1As, four 2As and one 3B instead.

The SMK Tun Sardon student had even written two books to record her achievement. The first, Diari Nadiah, is due to be released at the end of the month while the second, Meniti Kecermelangan, should be out by the middle of the year.


Outstanding achievement: Nadiah showing her results slip to her father Jamil Omar and mother Zakiah Zakariah yesterday.
Even buntings congratulating Nadiah on her “19 As achievement” were hung on street lamps around Rengit town.

Nadiah, 18, said she was not satisfied with the results but would put the disappointment behind her.

“I will accept the results in good faith. The important thing is that I have given my full effort in the SPM.” She scored 1As in Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, Science, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, Islamic Studies, Principles of Accounts, Commerce, Tasawwur Islam, Al-Quran and As-Sunnah studies, and Islamiah Syariah studies.

The subjects in which she scored 2As were Biology, Additional Mathematics, Economics and Malay Literature. The 3B was in English for Science and Technology.

Nadiah had earlier wanted to take up art and engineering drawing as well.

“But my parents discouraged me from doing so .”

Asked if the sale of her books might be affected because of the less than perfect SPM scores, she said: “I do not think it will be badly affected. The books will be published. We must take risks.”

Nadiah said she has applied for a government scholarship to study pharmacy in Britain.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi felt that an apology from Utusan Malaysia was in order as it did not report Nadiah's situation correctly.

“The newspaper really carried her up, giving her hope that she would score 19 As but she only got 14 As. I think the newspaper should apologise as it has embarrassed her.

“She never said she would get 19 As. Nobody would be able to tell until the results come out,” he said, adding that he felt sorry for her.

Abdullah said Nadiah's academic achievement was outst

Well, acs s'wan record holder will be the one and only Young Su Ling, with 16 As. Since the max will only be 12 from this yr on, so this record will remain. :)

It was published that the ministry did not go on with the plans of limiting the subjects to 12.. therefore Su Ling's record may still be surpassed.

ACS values SPM results according to number of As.. but the national ranking system or if you're applying for scholarships, 15A1 and 1A2 comes after the list of straight A1s.... that means even a straight 9A1 is ranked ahead of her. That is why the top student in Perak is a straight 14A1 girl from Ipoh and not her.

Thus, her decision to appeal was a right one to take but if its the case of A2 appealing to be changed into A1, the chances are VERY slim because I've never heard any of these cases being successful...

Anyhow, Su Ling's target should be JPA scholarships for medicine so her A2 in Basic Economy won't do much of a damage i think... At least she won't have to come here (Indonesia)....

[petertok]

wahaha nobody wants to interview me ar??

.........

BTW cxtreme... STPM results wasn't very encouraging...

i personally think chee eng and px deserve much more than what they got.

matriculations is like peanuts if compared to STPM.. which is so unfair cos in the end, matriculation students get the preference.

Erm.. my fren said only 4 ppl got 4 straight As this yr... one is former classmate of mine, Ranjini, from arts stream... another is yu ai lee (dunno spelling) who migrated from convent after spm, she's the top girl in bio stream last yr... then another 2 are from pantai remis..

matriculation has always been a bone of contention..it's comparing apples and oranges but what to do that is the government's decision. that's y it's always better to go for matricuation if you can getin...having said that, education in malaysia isn't up to par...i've recommended to tance to apply to Singapore (no harm trying, just waste a fewdollars)...and i think he has a good chance of getting into Singapore.

Sg has high standards + pressure esp for Sec & JC level - the teachers are required to get students (all students) to hand in homework - which leads to a culture shock - msian students : "my teachers havent chased me for hw since pri school!! sheesh ...*grumble* ".

also, sg based v much on exam results - even from PSLE (UPSR) onwards the students are streamed into schools (lousy results --> "bad" schools). Each year, students can get retained by the school for lousy end year results - tho if ur a scholar, ud get kicked back - sometimes after a 3 mth "probation", sometimes not.

hence the pressure.

yeah... was expecting worse... as for pei xuan, I dunno... I expected her to make the straight A list. She's very unhappy with what she got... I heard that because of the one A she missed she can't get scholarship for medic in m'sia.

[petertok]

scholarship or local uni acceptance?

but her co-cu marks shud be able to make up abit... since co-cu is a significant 10% for ipta this yr right?

[tan_ce]

I'm not too sure whether it's scholarship or acceptance, but I suspect both... yes, the koku makes up 10%, but still... I guess it's very dang hard to get in, esp when she wants medic...
