Equivalence of O- and A-level Grades

|
|
Equivalence of O-level Grades |
|
|
To compute equivalent marks for O-level students, first add
marks corresponding to grades earned in English, Physics, and Chemistry using
the table shown below. Secondly, add marks of either Mathematics or Biology to
this total. Finally, out of the remaining subjects, select the one with the
best grade and add its marks to the total marks earned. The total marks of the
five selected subjects are 500. The marks obtained by the student in these five
subjects are then used to calculate the percentage marks. |
|
|
The equivalent marks are calculated using the following
criteria used by the Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC): |
|
|
| Grade |
Points |
| A |
85% |
| B |
75% |
| C |
65% |
| D |
55% |
| E |
45% |
| U |
0% |

|
|
The equivalent marks in matriculation (out of 850) are (365 ÷ 500) × 850 = 621 |
|
|
Equivalence of A-level Grades |
|
|
The marks equivalent to A-level are computed using the above stated total marks (out of 500). Add to this, the marks for the three subjects of A-level using the above table. The total thus obtained is out of 800. This total can then be used to work out the percentage marks for HSSC. |
|
|
Example: Marks of the above mentioned student in A-level are given below:
|
