Lol, i usually get EST 95 and above, english i best in class, one of the public speaking competitors at that time, New South Wales English Test, i got 97th percentile in the whole country and 100th percentile (highest grading in my school)

SPM EST i get B3. like WTFFFFF. All those with worse english than me got A1. Looks like if your english too good and examiner dun understand what the heck he reading, he gives u low grade.

But thats off topic. (and 2 years ago)

Now, back to topic, the dude will prob go art stream with those marks, no way any school will allow him to go science.

Find out why he not doing well. If cuz lazy or bad company u know the drill. If he says he doesnt like the subjects (if he doesnt want to study then go kill himself, how to succeed, truly succeed in life?)

If he say he dun like his subjects, then arts is the way to go, try going into something more artistic like painting, acting, etc.

What ever it is, must buck up. Not to say no future for him, but in the world where it is getting more and more competitive, must buck up. PMR results not so important for getting on in life. SPM is, and then your diploma and stuff. So its not too late.
