Holding the SPM exam twice a year is better for students


THE SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) exam is a gateway to many educational opportunities, and the Malaysian Examination Syndicate (MES) serves as its gatekeeper.

Despite the many innovations that MES has embraced, the frequency of the SPM exam has remained unchanged since the 1970s: It is still conducted at the end of the year, with an opportunity to repeat the Malay, History and Mathematics papers in July of the following year.
