A total of 881,416 candidates sat the exam, with the number of boys being 443,644 and girls 437,772.

A total of 1,146 students scored A (plain) in the national exam.

Grade A (plain) starts from 81 points all the way to 84 points, which is the maximum.

The students usually sit a minimum of seven subjects, with each subject attracting a maximum of 12 points (A plain).

So, when the learner scores 12 points in each of the seven subjects, then he or she will eventually have 84 points, which is the highest.
