My SPM Result

*Updated on 09/03/2020* Hi, so I've noticed this post is still generating some traffic into my blog. While the content of this post may still hold true, it has been years since I sat for SPM (2011) and therefore there may have been changes of which I am not aware of. If you have doubts, I'll suggest you check with your school teacher and MOE, else I am more than willing to help, but please do take note my knowledge mostly ceased at 2011. But if you're here, it means you're looking about 1119 which most likely means you've just got your SPM results. Well, if that's the case, I just wish to congratulate you on your results! Trust me, SPM isn't everything. There's more down the road and there are so much more surprises, difficulties and, most importantly, excitement! So congratulations on your SPM results! It doesn't matter if you don't get a single A, or you've got all As, what matters if how you deal with your result and how you move on and face the next stage! Keep it up!

Updated on 3/3/15: I realise there is a sudden incoming audience in this post and upon checking the traffic source provided by Blogger I found out a lot came here after searching for "1119" and "GCE-O". In case you do not know what it is and googled it and google brought you here, well, I hope I can help a little. GCE 1119 English grade is simply your SPM English Essay marked by British standard. The grade you obtained is officially given based on British O-Level benchmark and is thus considered equivalent to GCE O-Level in the UK and Singapore, and it could be used to meet the English Language requirements of a lot of universities in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. If your SPM English is A+ but your GCE 1119 result is 6C, don't be surprised - it's normal. There is no known academic impact of the grade except it truly reflects your English level on international standard (although personally I doubt it is on par with British's standard). Hope it helps. 

FOR 1119 RELATED INFORMATION PLEASE GO HERE

After waiting for three months, here comes the announcement of the result. And honestly my result isn't extremely good, but not very bad either.

Here's it:

BAHASA MALAYSIA ----------> B+
BAHASA INGGERIS ----------> A+
PENDIDIKAN MORAL ----------> A
SEJARAH ----------> A+
MATHEMATICS ----------> A+
ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS ----------> A+
PHYSICS ----------> A+
CHEMISTRY ----------> A
BIOLOGY ----------> A
BAHASA CINA ----------> A-

1119 (GCE-O) ------> 1A

My Malay got B+ because of pusat problem that's too obvious to not notice. Almost everyone from the other pusat got A+ and A, and for some who are rather inferior in that subject got A- and B+ or below. But for my pusat, almost everyone got A- and B+, while those who are rather good got A, and a few, so far less than 10, actually obtained A+.

It's so obvious it's pusat problem.

But I've got no time to appeal or whine about it. As long as I got above C I have no problems in continuing to study form 6.

Chemistry is a shock too since I got only A. Never mind. I vow to get an A for my STPM.

Chinese is definitely a shock because I expect a B, but thank God I received an A-.

Moral.....I don't give a damn what I get. It's a useless subject and ergo the result is deemed useless too.

Well, I hope my STPM result will be better. =)

  1. 1119 CGE-O tu untuk apa? Grade apa yang paling bagus sekali? Kalau dapat 4b apa maksud dia tu?

    1. Gred itu diperoleh apabila esei SPM BI disemak oleh British. Gred itu adalah gred yang digunakan di UK. Kalau 1119 GCE-O dapat 4B, maksudnya tahap esei Inggeris anda ialah 4B di UK. Gred yang paling bagus ialah 1A, kemudian 2A, 3B, 4B, 5C.....

      Kalau 4B, ada universiti di luar negara yang akan menerimanya. Ada yang menganggap keputusan ini setahap dengan "GCE-O English" yang diperoleh di UK/Singapura.

    1. Gred itu ialah gred yang diberi berdasarkan standard British. Ia berguna apabila kamu ingin memohon universiti luar negara. Ia dianggap setaraf dengan GCE-O Level English di Britain bermakna selagi 1119 anda diterima universiti mereka, anda tidak perlu menduduki IELTS. Selain kegunaan itu, tiada impak besar la gred. Tapi 1A keputusan terbaik, tahniah! =)

  9. My friend showed me her certificate, she got grade U for the GCE-O.. what's that supposed to mean?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm sorry, I do not know what it means. From what I can read in my 1119 certificate, there's only grade A-E. Any other letter is most likely a special grade (like absent) or it is possible too that there has been changes in the system after I sat for it.

      Delete
    2. Grade U based on the British Cambridge grading system means Ungraded, which is more or less like or below than F. Hope that helps you.

    1. Yes, MUET is a more advanced English test. It is mandatory if you wanna enter IPTA and it is also a must to graduate from any Malaysian universities, be it private or public, with perhaps exception for foreign university branches. MUET is much tougher than 1119 too, I should say.

  39. 1119 grade being higher than SPM English is highly unlikely but it happens.

    Budok Selangor: SPM tiada kesan pada IPTA. Kelayakan anda ke IPTA bergantung kepada STPM/Matrikulasi. SPM tidak banyak kesannnya. Keputusan SPM yang tidak begitu elok tidak akan menjejaskan peluang ke IPTA SEKIRANYA keputusan STPM/Matrikulasi anda cukup cemerlang.

    Yasmin: 5C means you get a C grade when your essay is marked according to British standard.

    Nrl Faiqah: You can get 1119 certificate, which is issued by UCLES, I think one year later. You can get it from your secondary school. If you wanna improve your English, I guess you first need to love the language, which you obviously already have! Then, as for me, I studied English by reading English newspapers. It's the cheapest material and it is also enriching. The Star is good. You should try English newspapers from other countries too - don't go for the locals news, go for the opinions and analysis sections. Analyse how they interpret issues, read how they argue and understand how to write a convincing article, in the mean time enrich yourself with what is happening. I like Guardian (UK), New Zealand Herald and Reuters (an international news agency). Good luck!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Michael Affdhan: Yes, it's entirely possible and in fact it's very normal. SPM BI is marked by local teachers in accordance with local standard. 1119 is marked by (from what I know, and from what it's supposed to be practised) representatives from Cambridge or British Council and is marked in accordance with British Standard. That explains the huge gap in grades. And that's also why 1119 is universally accepted by foreign universities - it's marked by British, in British standard.

    Hi, I'll be sitting for spm next year. I asked my english teacher whether I could take ENG 1119 as my additional subject since im taking eng literature too for spm. I got confused she told me that 1119 is what we are learning now in class Bahasa Inggeris did they change the format or what Im curious I think they are not similar right? waiting for your response ASAP tq :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. ArcticMonkeysFanatic: 1119 is basically SPM English paper graded according to British Standard. SPM English paper is prepared by the Malaysian Ministry of Education, but the same paper will be marked separately and given different grades - one according to Malaysian standard, and another one which is 1119 is marked according to BS. So your teacher is right. You don't have to register for 1119, you're automatically entitled to a 1119 grade once you register yourself for SPM English.

  61. hanna sen: I'm not sure what grade C(c) means. The grade normally comes with a numerical figure and is normally followed by a letter in a bracket. Everyone will have the certificate. It's basically a result of your written English based on the British Standard. Or so it should be.

    1. Hi sorry for late replies. GCE-O is generally recognised for A-Levels, I'm not sure for degree.

    1. Hi. 7D is indeed a poor result. If you're interested in the language, your passion should be enough to push you to work harder. The tips I have is that you start cheap: newspapers, and from various countries. The Star from Malaysia, SCMP from Hong Kong, New Zealand Herald from NZ, and The Guardian from UK. These 4 are good and have no pay walls so you can read for free and simultaneously learn English. Do write more too! It'll help.

    1. Hi.
      It's a very difficult to answer because the standard and marking guides are different.
      But I would guess it could be around C or D.
      Very rarely is your GCE-O grade higher than your SPM grade.
      It's quite common to have people getting A+ for SPM but 6C for 1119.

    1. Hi there, so sorry for such a late reply!
      I have no idea why H means. Sorry.
      It might be a new grade which wasn't included when I sat for it.
      I have not followed up with it since.

    1. Means your English is considered a B grade when benchmarked to British standard.
      If you sit for the test in the UK and marked by the UK examiners, your grade is B.
      GCE-O(1119) is on par with GCE-O in the UK and that's exactly what it means.
      Or so that's what it's supposed to mean.

  95. Hello, Danny.
    May I know what are the benefits of receiving a good grade for our GCE-O(1119) paper?
    Thank you in advanced, Danny. ^_^

    1. Hi there, with good grades (above 6C) you could be exempted from expensive IELTS/TOEFL for university admission. It shows you have decent command of the language and you do not need to prove it further.
      However, it is subjected to the university's judgment but majority in the Commonwealth countries recognise it as a valid English Proficiency Test.

  96. saya membuat permohonan untuk ke universiti, pada borang tersebut, saya dikehendaki untuk mengisi gred 1119. gred 1119 pada slip spm saya ialah 3B dan B pada sijil cambridge,my question is gred saya adalah 3B=B,tapi pada borang permohonan 4B=B,dan it means mine would be B+ because on my slip it said 3B,im confused

    1. As far as I can recall, 1119 grade goes by 1A, 2A, 3B, 4B and so on. If your slip says 3B, it most likely is 3B and therefore your cambridge certificate may have been wrong. 1119 doesn't exactly have an equivalent grade to SPM English and hence you can't really assume 3B = B+ and 4B = B. My suggestion is to ask your school teacher again to clarify this matter.

  97. I read this blog in 2021. I am so impressed with how you handle your result. It looks very good to me, but you don't mind to further study in form 6 which obviously quite a challenge. Wish you all the best for your future undertaking.

    1. Hi there, things have changed a lot since I studied SPM, but I would guess that IELTS would have been more favoured over 1119 result because IELTS is internationally-recognised proficiency test administered by an internationally-recognised institution, compared to 1119 which is simply a recognised Malaysian certificate. IELTS likely would supersede 1119.

  100. Your school should receive the certificate by Cambridge, but it's usually delayed. You won't get it the same time as you got your SPM cert.

    1. Sorry, not sure. U9 is probably a new grade? I sat for 1119 more than a decade ago...
