How ELR2B2 is Calculated
ELR2B2 = EL + R1 + R2 + B1 + B2 - CCA Bonus
EL
English Language grade
R1
Best subject from 1st Group
R2
Best subject from 2nd Group
B1
Best other subject
B2
2nd best other subject
CCA Bonus
Up to -2 points deduction
Example: If you score English (A1=1), Math (A2=2), Physics (B3=3), Chinese (B4=4), History (C5=5), with 2 CCA bonus points:
ELR2B2 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 - 2 = 13 points
