wut kinda subject will be offered in stpm...
for science stream....
pa, chem, phy, bio, computiong, math t... then?

art stream
pa, acc, eco, p perniagaan.... then???

n i would like 2 ask.... how many kinda of mathsssss.... got math c, math t.... can any1 explain 2 me???

for science stream: bio, math T, pa, phy, chem
for art stream: perakaunan, math S, kesusasteraan melayu, ekonomi,sej, pp, pa, geo, b.melayu
for optional subjects: b.cina, b.tamil, b.arab, syariah, seni visual, further math, literature in english, computing, usuluddin

i'm not sure the infos up there are 100% true or not lah but all the subjects above are guarantee got in STPM cuz i copy them from the jadual waktu

there only got 2 kinds of maths which are math T and math S
math S is more easier to study than math T loh.....
so math S is for art stream while math T is for science stream

got futher math??? so itz the hardest??? i tot it has been abolished izit???

this i dun know lah cuz i only took math T
take math T already want to die liao i think no 1 will want to take futher math loh after taking math T cuz the math T is really tough

So, science stream= PA, Math T, Chem, Phy and Bio, 5 Subjects? I thought must choose between Physic and Biology? What subjects are compulsory?

depends ur school de actually
some does offer bio and physic
mostly offer either bio or physic
cos if offer both then the time schedule is very packed and needs to be extended
and it's not a good bet as taking both subjects will make ur life very stressed

go to www.mpm.edu.my

they have the whole list there. u can even buy the syllabus.

cuz if wanna study engineering and architecture.... they said hv 2 take futher math.... but moz of the skul din offer futher math la

Further maths is not necessary for engineering and architecture.

ya .. it's not neccessary ..

btw if ur school don allow you take both physic and bio ..
then the only way is to study one on your own then ..
which is a risky move ..
i got 1 fren (she got 4.00 in STPM btw)
she once take both physic n bio ..
although i and herself think she can get A for both in the 2nd semester she giv up physic to concentrate on bio instead
ain't worth the risk she said

My school has the right to stop me from taking more subjects? I thought no? Or i'm wrong?

shortage of form 6 teachers perhaps ? Bear in mind that they have to teach other form too .

You can take more than the required subjects but you have to take it at your own risk. Usually if you didn't do well in your SPM, of course you are not recommended to take more than the required subjects!

No matter how one can only take 5 subjects at most? Cause i nvr see anyone takes more than 5 subjetcs.

Either way, it wont do much.
CGPA is calculated with PA+3 best subjects.
Best to take only 4 subjects if possible. More subjects only bring trouble.

BTW, remember that commerce subjects will not be used for calculation if you plan to enroll into a science course in local U and vice versa.

no .. they can't stop you from taking more subjects ..
just that they aren't gonna teach you tat subjects and you have to cope with it your own ..
either you self study or tuition outside

they don't have the mean to stop you from taking more subjects ..

its because not many schools have classes for all 5 subjects
normally there wont be enough students for that class, so they just cancel it (like my school this year)

you still can register for all the subjects, but you'll have to study 1 of them on your own as you'll be entered in a 4 subject class

IMO, only take more than 4 subjects if :
you're not sure what you'd wanna go into, so there's a wider choice after STPM
you're confident in scoring excellent, so why not add another A there to impress ppl?

want to ask , if taking law need to study what for stpm

no particular rule say need to study wat subject de ah for law ..
long as u get ~4.00 CGPA

How do they calculate the CGPA ?

ok. according to some lecturer who gave a talk on this topic a while back:

Grade Points (GP):
A, 4.00
A-, 3.67
B+, 3.33
B, 3.00
B-, 2.67
C+, 2.33
C, 2.00
C-, 1.67
D+, 1.33
D, 1.00
F, 0.00

(* i'm not sure about the existence of grade D+ & D, but at least the GPs are correct for their 2 corresponding grades sorry i couldnt jot the list down fast enough)

so wat u do is, let's say u're taking 4 subjects. u add up the 4 GPs, then u take the average of it (which is dividing the sum by 4). there u have ur Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

check it out at www.doctorjob.com.my
it's in one of their articles regarding STPM.

stpm starts in june right?

I thought May? That is what i heard.

really? crud....anyone who can clarify?

enter art stream

PA is compulsory.
U need to take up history.
Others 2 subjects forgotten...

i tot itz end of may... this is wut my fren told me

i think stpm will start on 15th of mei..cuz matrikulation progrrame starts on 15th of may....most of the times both stpm and matriks starts on the same period!

can change from science stream form 5 spm to art stream form 6 ?

yaya.... of cuz..... u can change from science 2 art... but cannot change frm art 2 science.....

why cant from art to science ?

Is STPM an open cert program like SPM that means regardless of waht stream I'm in, I can take subjects from other streams as well like If I'm in arts but Im taking physics and maths T. can ?

i think its due to the misconception of government thinking that arts stream students are generally weaker than science stream students.
anyway u can always appeal to ur school administration and see wat happens.

AFAIK u must confirm wat subjects u are taking upon registration.
u can simply choose any subjects u like as in SPM.
this is because one or more of the subjects will overlap each other during STPM exam.
another thing is that it makes it harder for the teacher to put up a schedule to teach all ur rojak subjects.

Then I go from class to class la, lets say I go Science stream, then i dont want kimia, so during kimia if got ecnonmics, i ponteng kimia go econs la.

i dun think thats an option science stream sure do everything science if not your physics and bio sure got some connection with kimia that you would not learn about

Only science subjects are used for calculation in CGPA if you plan to enroll into science courses in local universities.
Extras are wasted.
