Generating Grade Baseline Marks For Forecasting Students' Performance In Lower Secondary Assessment (PMR)

The present standard grading system used in schools does not provide a realistic projection of students' performances in public examinations such as the Lower Secondary Assessment (PeniJaian Menengah Rendah, PMR). Currently most school adopt the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education...
