How papers are marked


THE final grades which students obtain in any public examination are decided by either the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (MES) or the Malaysian Examinations Council (MEC).

The Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) fall under the MES while the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) is under the MEC.
