Top Mark
This award is presented to the highest mark achieved in each genre and level. To qualify, the mark must fall between 90 and 100. More than one candidate may be eligible if multiple candidates achieve the same highest mark.
Recipients of the Top Mark Award receive an examination scholarship to sit the next examination grade in that genre (free of charge), a certificate of recognition, and a Top Mark Award badge. If the recipient does not use the scholarship to sit an examination in the following year, the examination scholarship is automatically forfeited.
