Insufficient time for candidates


I AM expressing the confusion that teachers and students are feeling over the format of the 2021 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia exam papers. In the Bible Knowledge paper, for example, the time allocated is now only two hours when previously it was two and a half hours.

Looking at the questions asked in the sample exam paper provided by the Education Ministry, they are far more difficult compared to the old format, yet the time to complete the test has been reduced. The allocation of marks for each section of a question is also not provided. This information is vital for students to determine how much time they should spend on each section.
