Well, Additional Mathematics is sort of halfway between O' Level Mathematics and A' Level Mathematics; though it is closer to O Level in terms of difficulty. Here in the Caribbean AddMath was a prerequisite for doing A Level Math. I say was because we no longer do CIE Exams, we follow our regional exam body CXC. It is no longer a pre-requisite for Advanced Level CXC Math, but the pursuit of AddMath at Lower Secondary level is encouraged. If you are a student aiming to study, at higher levels, Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering then I suggest you pursue a course of AddMath since it makes the transition from Lower Secondary to Upper Secondary Mathematics easier, and familiarizes one with higher level techniques at a layman level.
prepares you for higher level math classes
A Level Math grade - D GCSE Math Grade - A* (near full) That should speak for itself
No, 84 is a great mark, where I live 70% is needed for college and 80+ is great, he is already working hard, don't stress him out or else his grades are going to drop, let the kid enjoy his summer =D
Grade scores are an ordinal level of measurement. A ratio level of measurement would be weight of a person or how much money a person has.
