11,289 students score straight As
PUTRAJAYA: A total of 11,289 students scored straight As in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).
Education Ministry director-general Datuk Seri Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof said there was a slight dip in the number of students who scored all As.
"For 2013, a total of 13,970 students scored straight As. Even though there is a slight decrease, the gap is still small," he told reporters during the announcement of the SPM results this morning.
Khair said one of the factors of the decrease in straight As scorers could be attributed to the new examination format.
He also said the national average grade (GPN) for 2014 was 5.08 and there was a decrease of 0.15 points as compared to 2013 (4.93).
The GPN measures a student's overall performance in the examination, and a lower score indicates a better student achievement.
A total of 455,839 students had sat for the examination which took place at 3,655 examinations last year.
The SPM examination took place from Nov 3 to Dec 3, 2014.
