GENERAL TIPS
● Questions for SPM Sejarah will consist of information from your Form 4 and Form 5 textbooks.
However, studying using only the official textbooks will not be the most effective way as they contain
too much text which will take longer time to understand the topic at hand. With that, ​a reference book
will come in helpful as they have helped you to break down vital information into a simple and
concise format​.
● As history requires a lot of understanding of the facts, you should ​always understand the facts that
are being presented whenever you study a topic for the first time. ​Studying in a timeline format,
story or even making it like a game or competition will help make what can be a dry and boring
subject​; interesting to study. You should always understand what you have read so that you will not
need to “memorize” the whole book.
● By understanding what you have read, you will be able to get an idea of what happened or formed the
relation between one fact to the other. This will help you ​explain things in your own words with the
correct facts without needing to remember everything in the book. (Pay extra attention to identify and
understand important names / words)
● Pay extra attention to identify and understand important names and events​. They are usually
related to one another whereby an event is caused by a previous event which leads leads to another
event. Understanding the relationship between the names and events, will help you remember them
better. If there are too many facts for a particular subtopic; grouping them together and remembering
the groups (and giving meaning to the group) will help you remember and/or recall them better.
● Do ​refer to the marketing scheme of past year SPM trial papers so that you understand how
scores are given for each question. This is important so that you can formulate your strategy in
answering those questions which help you tremendously in maximizing your chances of getting marks
for your answers.
● Revision before the SPM Sejarah exam requires you to employ a different strategy. Start with ​going
through the subtopics that you feel you are the weakest at before going to the subtopics that are
are good at.
● Every single year, there will be so called predictions on the questions that will be asked in the SPM
Sejarah Paper 2. The predictions are just that: predictions. ​Never ever rely on predictions but
instead, religiously read, understand and do exercises.
● Finally, ​1 month before the SPM Sejarah exam, a general topic will be released for Paper 3​. Look
for materials from various sources such as the books, newspapers, magazines and the internet.

​PAPER 1
● There are 4 questions for you to choose from. Read the questions properly because they might try to
confuse you with questions such as “the following are the right answer ​except​…” or “which of this is
not​ the right answer…”.
● Whether you are certain or not certain of the answer for the question, go through the choices provided
and cross out the wrong answers. This will help you to have a safety net in place in case you read the
question wrongly or better yet, if you are not sure of the answer, by crossing out the wrong answers,
you will get closer to the right answer.

PAPER 2
● Part A: ​Answering in complete sentences are not required; they are not testing your grammar but you
will still need to make sure that the spelling is correct and the answers are structured properly.
● Part A: ​Write as many answers as you think might be the possible answer because no marks are
given for wrong answer; but marks are given for the right answer. And every mark can make a
difference for your grade.
● Part B: ​Unlike in Part A, you will need to answer in complete sentences; essay form. If you do not do
so, you will have half of your marks deducted even though you answered the question correctly. This
part is to help an individual to understand the answer that you have written.
● Part B: ​Once again, write as many answers as you think might be the possible answer as no marks
are given for the wrong answer; but marks are given for the right answer. Remember that your
answers need to be in complete sentences. If the question asked you to list down the facts, you will
only need to list down the facts without elaboration. However, if the question requires you to explain or
elaborate, you should provide both your facts and explanations. A lot of people did not get full marks
because they did not understand the question properly.
● Part A and B: ​Specific answer is the key here; instead of a general idea. Minor spelling errors will be
forgiven but major spelling answer will have your marks deducted. Most importantly, avoid short forms
which you might encounter in reference books.

PAPER 3
● Bring in any material that is relevant to you for this paper from textbooks, reference books and any
other relevant materials.
● For this part, usually the scoring for the answer is separated into a 50:50 format. 50% will be for the
facts that you provided while the other 50% is for your opinion. This is where the discussion with your
teachers and friends will help a lot. Your opinions have to be logical and relevant; and this goes back
to how your express your opinion and the reasoning behind it.
● Similar to SPM Sejarah Paper 2 Part B, you will need to answer in continuous writing form and in
complete sentences. Minor spelling errors will be forgiven but major spelling answer will have your
marks deducted. Most importantly, avoid short forms which you might encounter in reference books.
● The challenge that most people face for this paper is the difficulty in organizing too much information
to be presented in a short and concise format, in the allocated time. Never focus on putting as many
possible answers on the paper as possible but focus on getting as many “highly probable” answer in
the format required by the question as possible. Another suggestion would be to limit the “reference
material” that you bring into the examination hall; this way you will be forced to rely on the reference
material which will allow focus instead of trying to get reference from all sources.

○ The ​gradient of the speed-time graph​ of a particle is the r​ ate of change of speed​ of the particle.
○ The ​area under a speed-time graph​ is the ​distance​ travelled.
○ Rate of change of speed = (Final speed - Initial Speed) / Time
● Probability
○ Probability = Number of outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
○ Final answer is always more than 0 and less than 1.

Section A: 2 Alternately Tested Topics


● Sets (Year 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013)
○ Shading based on the questions (intersection or union)
○ ∪ denotes union, which is the combined area of the sets (‘or’)
○ ∩ denotes intersection, which is the overlapping area of the sets (‘and’)
● Graphs of Functions (Year 2005, 2007 and 2009)
○ The inequalities (upper line is >, lower line is <).
○ If slanted line, you can imagine it into horizontal straight line.

Section B: 5 Definitely Tested Topics


● Statistics
○ Histogram (Year 2004 and 2005)

■ y-axis is frequency
○ Frequency Polygon (Year 2006)
■ x-axis is midpoint
■ y-axis is frequency
○ Ogive (Year 2007)
■ x-axis is upper boundary
■ y-axis is cumulative frequency
■ additional upper boundary should be added to the table
■ x-axis and y-axis should be stated in the graph
● Graphs of Functions
○ Linear Functions (less likely to come out as it’s a straight line after plotted)
■ y = ax + c
○ Quadratic Functions (Year 2004 and 2005)
■ y = ax​2​ + c
■ y = ax​2​ + bx + c
○ Cubic Functions (Year 2007)
■ y = ax​3
■ y = ax​3​ + c
○ Reciprocal Functions (Year 2006)

○ Enlargement (be careful with the word ‘to’ and ‘from’ because it determines the image would be
smaller or bigger)
○ A combined transformation ​AB​ means transformation ​B​ followed by transformation ​A.​
● Earth as a Sphere
○ Longitude is the vertical line​ that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface.
○ Latitude is the horizontal line​ that specifies the north-south position of a point on the
○ Earth’s surface.
○ Nautical mile is the unit used to describe the distance between two points along the common
longitude.
○ Nautical mile = Distance between latitudes x 60

● See the example below:
○ State the organ where the alveoli is found.
■ Answer: Lungs
○ Define respiration.
■ Answer: A process of living organisms involving the production of energy, typically
with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of
complex organic substances.
○ Describe the function of alveoli.
■ Answer: The function of the alveoli is to assist in oxygen exchange by providing a
large surface area.
○ Explain how oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged in the alveoli.
■ Answer: The change in partial pressure from the alveoli (high concentration) to the
capillaries (low concentration) drives the oxygen into the tissue and the carbon
dioxide into the blood (high concentration) from the tissues (low concentration), which
is then returned to the lungs and exhaled.
○ Suggest how alveoli are similar to leaves in the photosynthesis process.
■ Answer: They both maximize the ratio of surface area to volume to try to facilitate
some type of exchange. In the case of a leaf, it has a large surface area to help
maximize the amount sunlight that it can capture to produce food via photosynthesis.
In the case of alveoli, the more surface area there is in the alveoli, the faster and
more efficiently the gas exchange happens.

● You need to be familiar with all the experiment carried out in the reference book. Ensure that you
understand Aim, Problem Statement, Hypothesis, Variables, List of Materials & Apparatus, Diagram of
set-up apparatus, Procedure, Tabulation of Data and Conclusion for all experiments. This is useful for
Paper 3 & Paper 2 Section C (PEKA).
● Facts that doesn’t have explanation, do memorise it. This is particularly useful for Paper 1 (MCQ).
● For calculation questions, go through sample questions and you need to know how do you apply the
calculations.
● Practice using model questions and past year questions. This is useful for you to prepare yourself
before the actual exam.

PAPER 1
● Due to a short time given for this paper, organise your time properly. Do not dwell on a question for a
long time if you’re unable to decide on your answer. Narrow down your answer and that way you’ll be
won’t swayed from the correct answer.

PAPER 2
● When you answer this paper, try using similar words or sentences from your revision answers.
● It’ll be good if you can apply the chemistry terms in your answer.
● Read the question carefully to avoid answering out of topic. Also, your answers need to be specific
and not too general to the extend its up to the marker to decipher the meaning.
● Be careful in writing down the units and quantities. The marker is very particular on this area. Also, for
your working calculation, write down your workings clearly as it will give you marks for the working
steps. Even if your answer at the end of the calculation is wrong, you’ll still be awarded marks for the
working.
● It is advisable that you answer in complete sentences as it’ll be ease the marker understandability.
● You will not be penalised if extra points are written as long as it is understandable. However, if wrong
facts were given, the marker may deduct your marks.

● When you tackle questions on experiment, do enhance your explanation and don’t forget to include
the List of Materials, Apparatus, Procedure, Tabulation of Data and other important information. It’s
important you include the amount and concentration of the substances that are used.
● For graph, ensure that you label both axis and units correctly. Plot it accurately. If the graph line is
needs to be linked to the points in the graph, plot it clearly. If the line doesn’t connect the points,
ensure the points above and below of the line have an equal spacing. The graph should cover at least
half of the paper.

SPM PENDIDIKAN MORAL

EXAMINATION FORMAT

Section A:
2 hr ● 8 Questions (answer ALL) 80 marks
Paper 1
30 min Section B:
● 3 Questions (answer 2) 20 marks

GENERAL TIPS
● Questions for SPM Pendidikan Moral will come from the list of 36 “Nilai” in the syllabus together with
the “Definisi” and “Kata Kunci”. Everything about these 36 “Nilai” will help you in scoring for your
paper so make sure to memorize the exact thing as per the syllabus, from the spelling up to the
“imbuhan”. On top of that, take time to understand about each “Nilai”. If you cannot understand the
meaning of each “Nilai” by yourself, ask your teachers and friends. Listening to different people’s
perspective on how they understand certain things will give you a very broad understanding
● Constant and consistent revision of every “Nilai” will help you to understand and remember what you
have read better. As the saying goes, “practice makes perfect”. Revise as many times as you need
until you can confidently answer the practice questions given to you. Always go through the “Nilai”,
“Definisi” and “Kata Kunci” because you never know what you might have forgotten; and sometimes it
even helps you to understand better, hence remember better.
● Remember that besides reading, you will also need to do exercises and practice questions. Start by
doing the questions topic by topic, “Nilai” by “Nilai” so that you know where you need to improve
yourself further on. When you think you have sufficiently understand all the topics, you can proceed
with doing SPM model test papers, past year SPM trial questions and past year actual SPM
questions.
● Do refer to the marking scheme of past year SPM trial papers so that you understand how scores are
given for each question. This is important so that you can formulate your strategy in answering those
questions which help you tremendously in maximizing your chances of getting marks for your answers
● Revision before the SPM Pendidikan Moral exam requires you to employ a different strategy. Start
with going through the subtopics that you feel you are the weakest at before going to the subtopics
that are are good at.

PAPER 1

Section A
● Questions on “Nilai” require you to use only the “Nilai” in the syllabus and this is where understanding
what each “Nilai” meant plays a very important role. By choosing the most suitable and relevant
“Nilai”, you will be able to answer the questions accordingly. Depending on the question and the
marks allocated for the question, the answers are usually separated into these 3 elements: “Nilai”,
“Penerangan” and “Contoh”.
○ 1 “Nilai” = 1 Mark: You only need to list the “Nilai”.
○ 1 “Nilai” = 2 Marks: You will need to list the “Nilai” and “Penerangan”.
○ 1 “Nilai” = 3 Marks: You will need to list the “Nilai”, “Penerangan” and “Contoh”.
● Ways to answer following elements:
○ Nilai: You should include the word “Nilai” in front of the “Nilai” that you wrote.
○ Penerangan: Include the situation and one “Kata Kunci” of the “Nilai”.

Looking for a university and course to study? Compare university courses and apply for free on ​UniDigest.com​. Page 24
○ Contoh: Include an example that can allow the individual to relate to the “Penerangan”.
● The spelling, “imbuhan” and “susunan” must be the same for all “Nilai”, “Kata Kunci” and “Situasi”.
The “Definisi Nilai” must also be the exact definition as per the syllabus. Once again, any grammatical
and spelling errors may result in deduction of your marks (which is very easy in Pendidikan Moral),
hence you want to be as careful as you can be.
● Opinionated questions, require you to give your own ideas. That is how by listening to different
people’s perspective on how they understand certain things will give you a very broad understanding;
which will allow you to provide a very relevant explanation. This is where sometimes even if your
“Nilai” might not be particularly accurate on first glance, your explanation may give them a newer
perspective and understanding. Being specific is the key here; instead of giving a general idea.
● Questions regarding Akta, Tokoh and Pertubuhan (and any other similar nature questions), will
require your general knowledge and relevant facts from your reference material such as textbooks or
revision books. Try to avoid short forms here because you might be penalized on your marks.

Section B
● Questions in Section B usually requires you to give your ideas and/or opinions. The purpose of this
part is to test a student’s ability to use moral knowledge critically to analyse, evaluate, make decisions
and solve moral issue.
● Similar to opinionated questions in Section A, opinionated questions in Section B require you to give
your own ideas. That is how by listening to different people’s perspective on how they understand
certain things will give you a very broad understanding; which will allow you to provide a very relevant
explanation. This is where sometimes even if your “Nilai” might not be particularly accurate on first
glance, your explanation may give them a newer perspective and understanding. Being specific is the
key here; instead of giving a general idea.
● Similar to Section A, depending on the question and the marks allocated for the question, the answers
are usually separated into these 3 elements: “Fakta”, “Huraian” and “Huraian Lanjut”.
○ 5 answers: You will need to give 5 “Fakta” and 5 “Huraian”
○ 3 answers: You will need to give 3 “Fakta”, 3 “Huraian” and 3 “Huraian Lanjut”
● Similar to Section A, questions on “Nilai” require you to use only the “Nilai” in the syllabus and this is
where understanding what each “Nilai” meant plays a very important role. By choosing the most
suitable and relevant “Nilai”, you will be able to answer the questions accordingly. Depending on the
question and the marks allocated for the question, the answers are usually separated into these 3
elements: “Nilai”, “Penerangan” and “Contoh”.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The spelling, “imbuhan” and “susunan” must be the same for all “Nilai”, “Kata
Kunci” and “Situasi”. The “Definisi Nilai” must also be the exact definition as per the syllabus. Once again, any
grammatical and spelling errors may result in deduction of your marks (which is very easy in Pendidikan
Moral), hence you want to be as careful as you can be.

GENERAL TIPS

Dokumen Perniagaan
● Soalan ini seolah-olah menjadi soalan utama dan wajib dikuasi oleh setiap calon kerana ia
menghasilkan jumlah markah yang terbanyak iaitu 29 markah. Biasanya soalan ini memberikan
dokumen-dokumen perniagaan antara 13 hinggs 15 jumlahnya. Antaranya ialah Invois (Jualan dan
Belian), resit rasmi, penyata akaun, keratan cek, slip bank, bil tunai, baucer, nota kredit, nota debit,
memo, dan lain-lain.
● Calon dikehendaki merekod semua urusniaga berdasarkan dokumen-dokumen tersebut ke dalam
buku-buku catatan pertama (jurnal) dan seterusnya membuat posting ke akaun-akaun lejar yang
berkenaan. Akhirnya calon dikehendaki menyediakan Imbangan Duga berdasatkan baki-baki akhir
dalam akaun-akaun lejar.
● Jika calon-calon benar-benar meneliti semua kertas soalan yang lepas, adalah didapati bahawa
semua dokumen yang diberi disusun mengikut tarikh menaik. Oleh itu sebagai panduan umum, bagi
memudahkan calon menjawab, calon-calon hendaklah menyelesaikan soalan ini satu demi satu
berdasarkan dokumen yang diberi mengikut susunan seperti dalam soalan. Dengan cara ini dapat
mengelakkan calon daripada tertinggal mencatatkan mana-mana urusniaga.
● Buku-buku catatan pertama yang dimaksudkan ialah:
○ Jurnal AmJurnal
○ Belian Jurnal
○ Jualan Jurnal
○ Pulangan Belian
○ Jurnal Pulangan Jualan
○ Buku Tunai (dua atau tiga ruangan)
○ Buku Tunai Runcit
● Oleh hal yang demikian, calon hendaklah mengetahui di dalam buku catatan pertama manakah setiap
urusniaga yang diberikan itu perlu direkodkan. Merekod urusniaga ke dalam jurnal-jurnal yang salah
akan mengakibatkan calon kehilangan markah. Juga kesilapan merekod sesuatu urusniaga ke dalam
jernal lebih daripada satu kali akan mengakibatkan calon tidak mendapat markah (kecuali modal
permulaan perniagaan dan catatan pembukaan) boleh direkod dua kali (dalam jurnal am dan buku
tunai). Calon dianggap meneka jika mereka merekod sesuatu urusniaga dua kali atau lebih, yang
mengakibatkan kedua-dua catatan yang dibuat itu dianggap salah dan tidak diberi sebarang markah.

Panduan-panduan berikut perlu diberi perhatian olah calon apabila merekod urusniaga ke dalam jurnal-jurnal:

Jurnal Am
● Tajuk Jurnal Am mesti ditulis. Jika tajuk tidak ditulis berkemungkinan segala kandungan Jurnal Am
tidak mendapat markah yang sewajarnya.
● Mesti tulis ruangan tarikh, butir, debit dan kredit. Jangan tulis butiran dalam bentuk esei. Apa yang
perlu ditulis ialah nama-nama akaun.
● Tarikh hendaklah ditulis bagi setiap urusniaga yang direkodkan. Jika terdapat beberapa urusniaga
yang berlainan berlaku pada tarikh yang sama memadai ditulis sekali sahaja pada urusniaga yang
pertama.
● Peraturan merekod Jurnal Am ialah mesti dahului catatan Debit dan diikuti catatan Kredit. Jangan
sekali-kali dahului catatan kredit dan diikuti dengan catatan debit. Biasanya catatan debit
sahaja/kredit sahaja tidak diterima.
● Setiap catatan dalam jurnal am mesti diikuti oleh satu keterangan yang mesti ditulis di dalam
kurungan bagi menjelaskan urusniaga yang berlaku.
● Hanya satu Jurnal Am biasanya dikehendaki. Oleh itu jangan buat Jurnal Am lebih daripada satu atau
secara berasingan bagi setiap urusniaga.

Buku Tunai
● Tajuk Buku Tunai hendaklah ditulis. Jika tajuk tidak ditulis berkemungkinan segala kandungan buku
tunai tidak diterima.
● Tarikh dan butir mesti betul untuk mendapat markah pada sesuatu angka yang direkodkan.
● Jangan tulis butiran dalam entuk esei. Apa yang perlu ditulis ialah nama-nama akaun.
● Tajuk bagi ruangan Diskaun, Tunai dan Bank hendaklah ditulis dengan jelas di kedua-dua bahagian
debit dan kredit Buku Tunai. Biasanya Buku Tunai yang dibuat satu ruangan sahaja, tidak diterima.
● Sebaik-baiknya semua catatan dalam Buku Tunai hendaklah direkodkan mengikut urutan tarikh
urusniaga berlaku.
● Baki akhir (baki h/b) ruangan tunai dan bank hendaklah ditunjukkan.

Jurnal Belian
● Jangan sekali-kali buat jurnal belian dalam bentuk jurnal am.
● Tajuk Jurnal Belian mesti ditulis dengan jelas.
● Tarikh, butir dan angka mesti betul untuk memperolehi markah.
