About the SPM Al-Lughah al-Arabiah al-Mu'asirah Exam
SPM Al-Lughah al-Arabiah al-Mu'asirah (subject code 5403) is a Kurikulum Bersepadu Dini (KBD) elective under KSSM for Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan and related dini pathways, administered by Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia. It is distinct from the general SPM elective Bahasa Arab (2361) and from the Ulul Albab heritage subject Turath Bahasa Arab (5305): 5403 focuses on contemporary/modern Arabic language skills — nahu (syntax), sarf (morphology), mutala'ah (reading comprehension) and insya' (composition) — drawn from Maahad al-Bu'uth al-Islamiah al-Azhar texts (Syarah Ibnu 'Aqil for nahu, Sarf al-Muyassar for sarf, and Mutala'ah wal Insya' for reading/writing). From 2024 the subject uses two papers: Kertas 1 (5403/1), a 2-hour-30-minute Arabic written paper with 20 objective items (Bahagian A, 20 marks), 5 subjective limited-response questions (Bahagian B, 50 marks) and 4 essay choices with one answered (Bahagian C, 30 marks), weighted 70%; and Kertas 2 (5403/2), a 60-mark, 15-minute oral test covering Bacaan Teks (text reading, 25 marks), Kefahaman (comprehension, 15 marks) and Interaksi (interaction, 20 marks), weighted 30%. Content follows DSKP Al-Lughah al-Arabiah al-Mu'asirah Tingkatan 4 and Tingkatan 5. This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of DSKP knowledge outcomes; it preserves Arabic grammatical terms (e.g. mubtada', khabar, kana wa akhawatuha, ism fa'il) but is not an official Arabic sitting or a full simulation of subjective/essay/oral components.
