Yes, usually it doesn't matter if you are A/B graders because bunching a As/Bs is minimal because i) the number of people getting those grades are relatively few so technically in comparing 2 B graders, even if one CEP is higher than the other (but same CEP grade), it don't matter. I think the main differentiation weighs for most teachers is whether your are a P6, P7 compared to your peers who are usually P8. If you are P8 = GEO 5 (projected at the end of your career), then it is wise to do something that allows your management sees you differently and raise you up to P7 (LH/SH) or P6B/P6A (HOD/VP). This is usually the faster way to get the promotion and the number of years you stay in a particular grade will usually be short. Reason is because they see you having the potential, HR will spread out your promotions to balance between your motivation level and your end of career span. As there is also a bunch of people who are in the Cs, then top quartile of the C will tend to get it way faster compared to peers that belonged to the middle rung and below. But being a P8 is still the slowest. Of course there are also other hidden factors e.g scholar status/national awards (e.g PAT/OYEA/FLP). You will be identified by your school and approved by HR and your CEP will be specially tuned in by HR. Naturally, for this group, as they are deemed to be CEP = P5 (Principals and above), then your CEP ranking is usually not with the normal population. You can identify these colleagues in your school e.g given special projects that are considered 'highlights' etc. This is because at the end of the day, the Principals will also be queried on how have they develop this group of special officers? So the whole point is if you wait for the time based mechanism to kick in for promotions, then you are doing yourself a disservice. Many of us are "farmers" in schools, but it is up to your mentality to translate something that is given to you, turned it into projects that leads to high impact for your students/peers/school. This is perhaps the way to get yourself noticed and having people speaking up for you in the ranking panel is vital.
