Congratulations. In our time 80-89 percentile was a B and getting 7-8 A's (over 90 percentile) was pretty much the minimum required to get in a top A'Levels' school.

@Ramesh Manghirmalani:
Yes, this should be a front page news specially because so much bad news comes out from Balochistan.
This might make the people of Pakistan realize the people of Balochistan are actually people.

This is wonderful. In many third world countries, by not letting women get proper education kills off potential inventors, rocket scientists, writers or doctors etc. perhaps there is a child out there who can discover cure for cancer or aids but will not because he or she will never get a chance of education.

Now this is an achievement to be proud of. This is in my opinion a much better focused effort than the 47 A's scored by another student recently.
All the best for the future!

This is a good achievement but not the worthy of getting so much praise and importance. Dozens of other kids in Pakistan got much much better results than that in O Levels this year and did not get noticed. Imagine their feelings !!!
