i'm really worried because i just lost 10 marks in my paper 2 section C. i did the traingle but i forgot the sin rule -,- . ten marks gone

I dont know, but I hope 75 get A+, hahaha

memory problem...
math is easy, if only u practice it often.
this golden rule nvr dies.

Hehe, finished whole paper 2 except doing that triangle law.

I think 80+ is okay already, plus this paper is way too easy.


Nah, formula is given.

80+ marks is an a+ or 80%?

80+ is A+, I reckoned.

I reckon it should be 90, since our kingking here said it was easy, so the graphical distribution should be higher. Hence, an A+ could be about 85%-90%.

Hey guys, u think A- how many marks?

8 marks = pass, what can you expect

I hope 90

A+ must be more than 90

It's add maths , I'd say 75 .

a+ should be quite high since there are 3 grades for A now but still it depends on the standard of the year.

y nowadays u all worry so much... rmb, 8 mark passing mark... i think even 60 u are in A alr...==

You'll never know what is the passing marks
It varies every year and will never know until the government see the percentage of marks by the students right...

So, what is the use to stress up and think... Cheers

the cut off marks are moderated based on the normal curve.....it all depends on what percentage of a+, a, and a- they want to have.........in an easy exam, where lots of people gets 100 marks, a+ may be 99.........

Bottom line is as long as you did your best,leave the rest to god. Concentrate on your remaining subjects,don't lose your focus thinking about your finished papers.

actually what i heard is all subject A+ is >90

if i am mistake, just recorrect me ya

in normal exams that's it. In SPM there's a normal curve where the marks for each grade is set based upon the overall performance of the students. If everybody get very high marks then the marks for an A+ will increase higher and if everybody does badly the marks will become lower.
Though you won't go wrong with a 90+ unless a lot of people starts getting perfect scores ahaha =D

how about A+ for physic .. ==

im a last yr candidate, i usually got 70+ for add maths, and i got a+ in spm . so chill.

ahhhhh.. addmaths... i was spm candidate 4 years ago... i cant believe how insignificant all those tuition classes i went to for the sake of scoring better for my addmaths...

the same with every other subject. It depends on the normal curve of that year

do you mind to post the questions here to see how "difficult" is the paper?

I still remembered the days when I took SPM in 2008. Some of my friends in my class never really got an A for addmaths during their exams. (Usually 30-40++) and suddenly in SPM they managed to get an A1.

Quite hard to think how much an A+ would be. 75++ perhaps?

meh add maths.last time i know nothing bout that subject.But i do find calculus more fun to do and still manage to score on that paper.just chill and focus on your next paper.A+, A or A- doesnt really mean anything in a long run

5 years ago, one need double digit score to pass, anything above 60 will be an A... That time no A+, if not I would have gotten 1.

I reckon you all are from city or town with internet access. You need to understand that there is students with minimal standard of education. Teachers just teach them to memorise Functions or something easy so they can score in the first page of the paper, the rest they can draw world map on it, since they they dont really understand the question.

4 years ago, only need 1 digit score to pass. 40 above is A1 already.

A is meaningless if 40 above can get A1! The quality of education downgrade year by year

99%

add maths very easy to score in real spm wan la. don't worry bout it. every year the marks for grade changes one.

Why? The marks are based on the distribution of marks. It just means that the questions are too hard. Even if the teachers in school suck, I see a whole bunch of people studying like crap and going to countless tuition centers. They don't do badly on the trials either.
