Three students successfully upgraded their B+ grades to A's after appealing their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) results, now making them straight-A students
According to China Press, the three students, surnamed Huang, Zheng, and Liang (transliteration), are secondary school-leavers from SMK Air Putih in Kuantan, Pahang.
Huang initially received a B+ in Chinese, while Zheng received a B+ in Pendidikan Moral and Liang received a B+ in English.
However, with the support of their school principal, friends, and family members, they appealed their B+ grades.
After waiting for a week, they received news that their appeals were successful, making them straight-A students.
All of them were delighted with the outcomes of their appeals
Huang said she was confident about scoring well in Chinese.
"When my family and friends discovered that I only received a B+ in Chinese, they all advised me to appeal to the Education Ministry as soon as possible.
"After eight days, I received a reply. The appeal from B+ to A- for Chinese was successful," she told China Press.
As for Zheng, she expressed her desire to apply for a scholarship to study engineering with her new grades of 10 A+'s and one A-.
Meanwhile, Liang, who upgraded her English grade from B+ to A, said she aspires to pursue studies in medicine or pharmacy at a public university after completing her pre-university course.
SMK Air Putih's students performed well in SPM this year, achieving a pass rate of 87.2% and an average grade point of 4.47
The school principal encouraged students to appeal their results within 30 days of receiving their SPM results if they believed they deserved higher scores in certain subjects.
"One student from SMK Air Putih achieved 11 A's, seven students achieved 10 A's, 19 students achieved 9 A's, 11 students achieved 8 A's, and 12 students achieved 7 A's. The overall performance is slightly better than last year," said the school principal.
She also emphasised the importance of seeking advice from different sources, including the school, to plan for future education and career paths.
