Explanation of the ranking and classification of each Examinations Results  Grade 12: Grade 12 schools are placed using the distribution where A (90-100),  B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69) and E (0-59). An MRI of 75 is the middle value  for Grade 12 Schools, as an approximate 75% are awarded A, B or C Grades.
Grade 10: Grades 10 has the Mean Rating Index by school listed and a School  Grade Distribution Table of A (85-100), B (70-89), C (55-69), D (40-54) and E  (0-39) applied to help scale schools of their block placements among the  schools in PNG. An MRI of 50 is the middle value for Grade 10 schools.
Grade 8: As we have about 3,200 Primary Schools in PNG, they are classified  for convenience, by their Districts and the following Grade Distribution  applied; A (81-above), B (71-80), C (61-70), D (51-60) and E (0-50). An average  of 75 is taken as the middle point, given the maximum mark and population.
