The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) is a national examination in Malaysia taken by students at the end of their secondary education, typically around the age of 17. It serves as a crucial assessment of students' knowledge and skills across various subjects, including Mathematics, Science, and Languages. The results of the SPM are important for further education opportunities, such as enrolling in pre-university programs or vocational training. Conducted by the Malaysian Examinations Council, the SPM is usually held annually, with students preparing for it over several years. The examination consists of written tests, and students receive a certificate upon completion, which is recognized by educational institutions and employers in Malaysia and beyond.
