What Next After School ?

Now the SPM trial exams are over and it's the beginning of the Raya holidays.... Naimah is not spared the stress that is also suffered by Hasif. But my girl who will turn 12 next Thursday is going to REALLY enjoy herself after the gruelling weeks of UPSR followed by PSRA.

As for Hasif and my form 5 students, I can understand their need for a proper rest from all the torture they have been through; nevertheless, they will become stronger and armed with the psychological defence when facing the real exams in November.

But, what next after the SPM? I guess it's important for these young , aspiring SPM candidates to also scout for opportunities for scholarships etc offered by colleges or any organisation......NOW.... I mean before SPM.

Will that divert their attention from the exam itself? No, in fact, they can start talking about it with their friends (form 5 and those in colleges). I know there are forums which they can take part in. (Try the net).

These SPM candidates should also approach their school counsellors, who have easy access to information regarding the pre-university studies.

Yes, it is vague initially but you'll get a clearer picture soon. At the same time, study hard for the exams. Frankly, I personally believe that SPM is the most important exam...............after that, everything is quite easy.
