Hi guys, first and foremost I would like to thank for the information in this thread. I have just graduated as an IB Diploma student and very interested to go for law in Australia for my undergraduate degree. As it is said on first page, in order to sit for the CLP examination in Malaysia after graduation, SPM and STPM qualifications or equivalent are required. However, since I left Malaysia 4 years ago and just graduated from an American-syallbus international school 1 month ago, I had never taken SPM or it's equivalent such as O-levels. Meanwhile, I am unsure whether or not my IB Diploma is considered as an equivalent for STPM or A-levels, although in most universities it should be. Does that mean I've failed to meet the pre-conditions and hence will not be eligible for the CLP examination after I graduate? If so, is there other ways for me to take the CLP exam in the future? I apologise if any of the questions above have been asked before. Any advise is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, thank you for your help (for the second time hehe). So if MQA considers IB Diploma as an equivalent to STPM, it basically means that I earned my STPM directly without taking SPM or O-levels. Does anybody know if SPM or its equivalent is required for CLP exam as well or STPM (in my case IB Diploma) alone would be fine without taking the SPM?

Thanks for the reply. It's a shame that my dream could be shattered simply because I do not have a SPM or equivalent degree despite the fact that I've earned a degree equivalent to STPM already. I might have to think of an alternative now.

erm.. I just graduated from grade 12 with a High School Diploma equivalent to American High School Diploma from the school itself, according to the PDF document attached by Hikari0307 down there it is equivalent to SPM in Malaysia. Meanwhile at the same time I already got my IB Diploma results last week and will earn the certificate in 2 months. Since it is equivalent to STPM, it means that I've earned both my SPM and STPM in 2 months, hence I already fulfilled both the requirements. A huge relief here. I was even looking at the British Council for GCSE! Thanks for help!

Hi there, i'll post it here once i get the answer. however, i dunno if it is just me but I wasn't able to find LQPB email. anyone know their email or is there anyone else i can contact? not sure if malaysian bar would help. do advise if possible.

Dunno if it is just me but as i did before i only managed to find their phone numbers and address. I'm not in Malaysia currently I guess I can only call them when I am back few weeks later. Will get back to the thread once I get my answer. Thanks there.

Hi there, got my relative who works as an education agent to contact and they confirm that American High school diploma and IB diploma are both equivalent to SPM and STPM respectively.. Thanks a lot to those who helped!
