No more Paper 3, students to carry out experiments individually


PETALING JAYA: The practical component of science will make a comeback at the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations this year, a move made in tandem with the scrapping of Paper 3 (a written test) for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Additional Science.

The move was first proposed in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025 as part of the reforms to strengthen the quality of science education in schools.
