PUTRAJAYA, Wed.:

A total of 6,247 candidates scored As in all the subjects that they sat for in the 2007 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, an improvement from 2006 when there were only 5,685 straight-A scorers.
Education Director-General Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom, in announcing the SPM and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) results today, said that generally there was improvement last year, with 382,286 candidates getting their certificates compared with 358,060 in 2006.

He said 347,032 candidates or 90.8 per cent of those who obtained the certificates were from government schools.

Of the straight-A achievers, 5,060 or 81 per cent were candidates from government schools, an increase of 5.2 per cent, compared with 4,311 (75.8 per cent) in 2006.

A total of 439,255 candidates sat for the examination last year.

My school also contributed to the statistic of 6,247 straight-A scorers. Overall some subjects did better especially Pure Sciences but Language, Art and Math subjects fared poorer than 2006. There were 100% passes in more than half the subjects offered. The analysis means little unless compared to a wider picture.. how other schools did.

To those who did well, BRAVO!
To those who did not, HEY it's not the end of the world. Just make up your mind to work harder and DO IT!
