The individual results released by the Department of Education in March shows both Krisha Wee and Gabriel Antoine Avena garnered a score of 99+. Four scored 99%. They are Nel Yee Baraquia, Megan Bretagne Uy, Earvin John Salcedo and Jan Jemi Gerwayne Tiu. And seven scored 98%. These 13 ISAers constitute 48% of the examinees. The rest, four scored 97%, one 96%, one 95%, two 93%, and one 91%. The average of 97.1% is a small fraction short of 98%, which the Department of Education categorizes as 'Very High'. No wonder upon learning of their impressive performance, ISA Executive Director, Mr. Peter M. Chan, cited the achievements of these learners during the flag ceremony assembly. |

Jemi Tiu, ranked 7th, was one of the ten who made it to the final. Final round in the afternoon was a close fight throughout. It was when only one learner each from U.P. and PhiSci answered correctly an item that the first two places were decided. Third place was contested between Jemi and a PhiSci learner. Jemi finally claimed the honor during the clincher round. |
