KUALA LUMPUR – A total of 741 candidates who sat the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) in 2020 scored a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.00 or four flat, a slight decrease compared with 802 candidates in 2019.

Malaysian Examinations Council (MEC) member Prof Datuk Dr Wahid Razzaly said 554 (74.76%) of the 741 candidates of those who scored a 4.00 CGPA are from the B40 group.

He said the national CGPA for the STPM 2020 examination rose to 2.78 from 2.77 in 2019.

“Of the 741 candidates who obtained a CGPA of 4.00, 23 scored 5As in all five subjects taken and 718 candidates scored 4As in the subjects taken.

“However, in terms of the candidates’ overall achievement, the achievements of STPM 2020 candidates are considered the same as that of STPM 2019 because the improvement is small (0.01%),” he said in announcing the STPM results virtually today. – Bernama, July 1, 2021
