Technically, how UPU calculates the 90% academic and 10% marks are your duty to find out, not the school, as UPU is not part of the school.
Ko-k falls under the jurisdiction of MOE, not MPM. Like in previous years, KO-K marks are calculated by year, not semesters.
And yes, this is why STPM is so unfair. You do not know what marks you need to get an A or a B+. The grades you get after each semesters may be extremely surprising. You thought you could do all the questions, but you might get only a B+ (like I did for sem 2 physics), you might think you can't do lots of questions, but you could get an A in the end (like my ulangan 1 physics).
MPM is unpredictable. I've spent one and a half year trying to fathom them, but we gave up eventually.
Don't waste your time. Just do your best.
Ah yes. But the co-curriculum marks which are accumulated in school are not mentioned properly. Since STPM is now semester based, the schools are not told how to accumulated the co-curriculum marks. Would it be accumulated by semester or would it be accumulated by years. Seriously, the teachers were just clueless
at that time. But as long as I could get my co-curriculum certificates with an okay marks, I guess I could just move on with it.
Agreed. People are retaking without knowing if that would increase their pointer. Some of my friends had improvement in Sem 3 retakes but their final pointer has no changes. In the end, they had just wasted RM50-RM200. I was the first batch too. Same situation, I thought I did very well in Biology and struggled with Chemistry. But my Sem 3 results said I performed better in Chemistry even though I have no idea how I could get the results. In my final results, the only A- I received is from P.Am. Although sometimes I couldn't understand why Pengajian Am is fail-able.
You get A for Physics? Damn, you're good.
