Yeah , my school principal said that i can sit for SPM next year as a private candidate . But i think i would just sit for the easy papers .

Maybe you can re-take the exam next year.Your sickness might be better.
God bless you.

one thing that is not screwed up about our education system is age.. There's no limit as to how old you have to be to sit for any exam

I don't think you can enroll into an university or college without the certificate of SPM (there might be some exceptions). You'll need it to prove that you have fulfilled the entry requirements.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I sincerely hope that you may recover soon

One of my friends was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago. He didn't go to school but self-studied at home. Finally he got straight As in PMR. When we were in form 5, his cancer relapsed. Again he didn't attend school for the whole year. He self-studied at home. His condition became worse when we were sitting for the BC paper. Few days after the SPM, he left the world. When the result of SPM was revealed, he got straight As in it. I'm not trying to provoke or do anything stupid. What I want to tell is that actually you could try to carry on with your study. Why don't you self study at home ? Just don't make yourself feel stressed. It doesn't matter what result you get in the end. As long as you've tried your best.

If you insist on skipping SPM, it is better for you to ask for a report from the hospital. Send it to the government. It should not be a problem for you to be exempted from SPM.

Good luck

Universities/colleges that require SPM or equivalent will not accept somebody without it no matter what. MOE may give special treatment to those with serious illness when taking SPM like special arrangements,extra time etc. but whatever it is if you want to go somewhere that requires SPM you must get through the exam or something deemed by MQA as equivalent. TS can take SPM as a private candidate as many times as possible in later years to meet the minimum requirements so there's no problem with skipping SPM this year just that he has to be careful with the changes that will come in the near future like change of BM and BI Komsas and Literature components, change of science and math back to BM from BI, Sejarah becoming a compulsory pass in 2013 like BM and whatever else that comes up.
