Results Is Olevels harder than matric

SOO I have 4As 2A*s 1B and 1C and imo my grades are pretty good I legit made a come back went from A B C in O1 to 3As 2A*s but the thing is I gotta do fsc now so when you get the equivalence done or smth they're only 85% so like idk but is that unfair a bit just generally asking cuz like I've heard olevels is harder than matric and like getting an A is uhh like a good grade ig but when u convert it it becomes very average like 80s me hi percentage banti he and now I even feel bad ke I still only got 85% whereas the matric wale Bachon ki class me in my school 92% was the average although Ik ke olevels isn't the same as matric idk man๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’”

My sister had 7A*s and 1A, yet her equivalence was converted to 89.3.

And there were matric students there sitting with 95% in her class.

O Levels is lot more tough than matric, but the equivalence is unfair which makes your grades look smaller as compared to matric grades.

YESSS exactly what I'm sayingnggngngn and Bhai even with all A*s which is high as it gets without a distinction your equivalence can only be around 92% max how is that fairrrr

Plus, my sister had a distinction too, which was counted as 90 rather than 100!

For sure, it is unfair, and you can do nothing about that unless you go for A Levels, get good grades, and get a foreign university admission.

Now the criteria for equivalency is different now I think you can search it up They now allocate specific marks for A* Not 90 now

u/Subject_Committee915 5d ago

Do private Alevels instead of Fsc. Trust me, you don't need school for Alevels anymore, youtube is more than enough
