Posted by Chong

STPM 2010 results out today with 46,780 students (92.49 percent compared to previous year 92.55 percent) obtained a full pass in at least one subject in last year's Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) examination and eight candidates scored 5As (previous year 15). Results asides; the million-dollar question that popped in the minds of most STPM results holders is “what can I do next after STPM?” So here is a quick post on the endless possible options you can choose.

  2. Go to local private colleges or universities

  3. Further your study oversea

  4. Apply scholarships – Do you know they are actually plenty of scholarships available for STPM result holders?

  5. Visit upcoming education fairs – This is especially helpful if you plan to do your degree at local private education institutions as the respective representatives from most private universities and colleges will show up at education fairs

  6. Ask for help at education related websites, forums - Among the best are SPM Student Malaysia, ReCom.org and QuanSheng.org [Chinese]
