Why the Drop?
- The 2016 jump was partially the result of targeted study measures after a relatively low pass rate in Jessore in 2015.
- Exam difficulty started to rise in 2017 and strict marking came back, so results came back to the real world.
- Results across the board were probably affected by local factors (school readiness, exam design)
- Alas, fine-grained analysis at the subject level isn’t possible, but these macro trends hint at potentially systemic factors at play.
What Schools and Boards Did
Boards and schools met in an attempt to offset the sorry performance in 2015 and review teaching approaches — particularly in weaker subjects such as English. Despite attempts to improve it, in 2017, the system became even more demanding and strict.
Our Top Tips for Students & Teachers
- Review previous test scores to find weak areas to target further.
- Balanced preparation – divide your time between the theory, MCQs, and written work.
- If you have reason to believe your mark was not read critically enough, there are typically small bump-ups.
- Continual coaching in weak subjects like English and math pays off.
