SPM Results Out on 12th

It's confirmed! SPM results will be out on the 12th of March (next Thursday)

The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Agama
Malaysia (STAM) results will be released on March 12.

Students would be able to obtain the results after 10am
from their respective schools, said Education director-general Datuk Alimuddin
Mohd Dom.

“Private candidates will receive their results through
the post,” he said in a statement yesterday.

A total of 442,936 students sat for the SPM examination,
while 6,240 students sat for the STAM papers last year

That's less than a week more to go! Gosh! This is getting terrifying. After all, this IS a make-or-break-it result. A miss in an 1A can potentially spell disaster for any local scholarship. It's an open secret that the first main criterion to filter candidates is the SPM results, with the other criterion like co-curricular activities, performance in interviews, personality traits, etc. coming after that. JPA for instance requires a minimum number of As and 1As for certain subjects, which I think are Moral, Bahasa Malaysia and Sejarah. So yes, one's future does hang in balance with this results.

I suppose most of my fellow students are trying very hard to ignore this piece of news and not think about it, but the truth is, who can? We're all shivering in fear, dreading to know the results, yet at the same time, wishing the wait would be over. Ironic, but true. But of course, time flies by at its constant speed, unhindered by our fears nor hurried by our excitement.

Sometimes, the wait is worse then the conclusion. But at least, that's what I hope it turns out to be.

ps. Will be updating once the results are out. Do tune in to see if I survive 'Judgement Day'. Or how Chung Ling fares in this time around. Will a full pass be obtained? Will we triumph over our 'old rivals'? Or will it be another round of 'slaughtering'?
