are only recognised by local private and overseas universities. All STEM-related subjects (Mathematics (M), Mathematics (T), ICT, Physics, Chemistry and Biology) are offered bilingually in English and Malay. All the other subjects, besides language subjects, are offered only in Malay. School-based assessments (SBA) are implemented for most subjects (except Chinese Language, Literature in English and Tamil Language), making up the weighting of 20% to 40% of overall marks for each subject. Candidates are allowed to resit for Term 1 and Term 2 examinations for individual subjects if they are unsatisfied with the results. The repeat examinations are usually held around Term 3 examination. Subjects Up to 2014, Further Mathematics was provided as a subject in STPM. However, it was removed since then. In 2020, Quran Studies (Tahfiz Al-Quran) was introduced as a new subject. A list of subjects available in STPM are: General Studies Language and Literature Social Sciences and Religion Science and Mathematics Arts and health Grading system STPM grading system uses cumulative grade point average (CGPA) system. There are 11 grades in STPM, which are A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D and F, with F as the failing grade. GPA ranging between 4.00 and 0.00 is assigned to the grades, with A being 4.00, D being 1.00, and F being 0.00. Grade C and above is considered principal pass, while grade between C- and D is considered partial pass. Grade F is considered fail. After the term or repeat exam, the paper grades for the term or repeated term will be released shortly afterwards. The grades for school-based assessments, if available, are released with Term 3 results. Overall results are released shortly after the release of Repeat 1, Repeat 2 and Term 3 results. In the overall results, each subject is graded based on the weighted average marks of all papers in the subject. If a candidate has repeated a paper, then the highest mark between the original and the repeat paper will be taken. The CGPA for the overall results is calculated by taking the average of GPA of four best performed subjects, including General Studies. Admissions to Malaysian public universities require CGPA of at least 2.00 and above, with principal passes in three subjects including General Studies. On the other hand, local private universities accept students with only two principal passes without considering the requirement of CGPA. See also Education in Malaysia
