1.Grand average of Annual Score which could signify students’ overall academic performance (including cultural subjects for a balanced and all- round requirement). This amounted to 70% of the total points. 2.Students’ performance showing significant special capabilities, talents and interests accounted for the remaining 30% as represented by average marks of the relevant subjects of three electives (and Maths modules for classes A, B and C). 3.Reduce mismatching on students’ interests and abilities.
