Hey I heard the same thing too !
They say if your opening is good, they'll put it in the A box
Sounds too good to be true haha !!!

1119 is only the essay part. Maybe he wrote a good essay but screwed up the rest of the paper??

1119 was tough for me but I passed.

Well if he can write a good essay, I doubt he would screw up the rest of the paper.
But well, I guess we can never know can we ?
That was like 4 years ago ....

no it's lower.

Thanks for the reply

Anyone? englihs 119 is what? im a 2011 candidates..waiting for result

1119 is O-Level English. Every students who sits for SPM English will have their papers marked by British and your essay (section B of paper 1) will be graded according to O-Level grading system. So don't be surprised if you got an A+ for SPM English but 5C for your 1119, it's common.

Anyway, 1119 English can be used to fulfill English language requirements of certain foreign universities, especially UK such as University of Bath. So if you score C6 or above you'll be exempted from IELTS or TOEFL.

Oh iseee and rn i have to wait the spm rsult?

Yes, the 1119 result will be printed in the SPM result slip, but don't worry it won't be in SPM cert. They will give you a separate certificate for 1119. =)

Lol.
The 1119 is the subject code. The UK part is called the GCE OLevel.
English 1119 used to be optional as a part will be sent to the UK for assessment as the GCE O Level. However, since now it is compulsory, they would like to clarify the subject taken with the subject code.
So, the additional UK score is NOT your 1119 score. 1119 is the entire package, which would most likely be your English score.

lol i think the examiner was drunk when he was marking the paper XD

Since only a section is sent to the UK for the O Level assessment, it is possible s/he got too focus on that section in order to score better, and let his guard down on other sections.
Therefore, he may have gotten good for the assessment but otherwise for the entire package.

i'm spm candidate for 2012, narrative essay is easier than others.
