so ter is like percentile la?
but still it's about being the best
out of an 'easy' exam. like scoring
99% or 99.5% for Matematik Moden.
I think you underestimated SAM. Like limeuu said, it's not as easy as you think.
As for scoring 99% or 99.5% for math, you're talking about one achieving perfect grade of A20 which means only about 20+ students. Forgot in Malaysia or the whole population of SAM students.. And even if you score a 100% for your finals, if you screw your internals, that's it. They pull your marks down.
A real case example :
A got 26/50 percent for the internals. During finals, A got 176/200 marks for the final paper which could normally lead to A18, but because he screwed his internals, he got a B15 instead.
For the rest, limeuu already elaborated.
