PUTRAJAYA: There has been an overall improvement in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations compared to 2023.
Education director-general Datuk Azman Adnan said the National Average Grade (GPN) for 2024 is 4.49, compared to 4.60 the previous year.
A lower GPN score indicates better performance.
"A total of 355,933 (94%) candidates qualify for the SPM certificate," he said when announcing the SPM 2024 results analysis on Thursday (April 24).
“This is the best performance since 2013 when candidates had to pass the Bahasa Melayu and History papers to qualify for the certificate,” he added.
Azman said 14,179 (3.7%) candidates achieved excellent results, scoring A+, A-, or A in all subjects taken, an increase from 3.1% in 2023.
Candidates can obtain their results from 10am on Thursday (April 24) at their schools and nearest state education departments (for private candidates).
