* Bonus points are not included in calculation of raw aggregate score (20), but will be used in calculation of net aggregate score for school posting.
The bonus points are subtracted from your gross aggregate score to obtain the net aggregate score for school posting.

Grades for Higher Mother Tongue Language and Mother Tongue Language cannot be used in the same aggregate computation.
