About the SPM Bahasa Kadazandusun 6357 Exam
SPM Bahasa Kadazandusun (subject code 6357) is an elective Kadazandusun-language subject of the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, administered by Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia and built on the KSSM Bahasa Kadazandusun curriculum (Dokumen Standard Kurikulum dan Pentaksiran, published September 2018 by the Curriculum Development Division). Its assessment format, approved 21 February 2020 by the National Curriculum Committee and used from SPM 2021, uses three instruments: Kertas 1 (Kemahiran Menulis, 40 marks — a guided composition plus a free-choice essay), Kertas 2 (Kemahiran Membaca, 60 marks — language-system knowledge, prose and poetry comprehension, a proverb item, and a summary), and Kertas 3 (Kemahiran Mendengar dan Bertutur, a 15-mark school-based oral discussion assessed continuously from Form 4 to Form 5). The Ministry of Education SPM 2025 timetable lists Kertas 1 as 1 hour 45 minutes and Kertas 2 as 2 hours 15 minutes, sat on the same day. Kadazandusun (Boros Momogun) is written in the Roman/Latin script with a standardised orthography maintained by the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA); there is no separate traditional script to learn. Official papers are set and answered in Kadazandusun. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation covering the exam's structure, sample-item themes, core grammar and vocabulary, and well-documented Kadazandusun cultural context (such as the Kaamatan harvest festival and the ceremonial tagung gong) — it is not a substitute for timed Kadazandusun reading, writing and speaking practice.

Is SPM Bahasa Kadazandusun a multiple-choice exam?
No. The official written papers use subjective limited and open responses in Kadazandusun, and Kertas 3 is an oral discussion. The practice items on this page are an English four-option MCQ study adaptation to build language knowledge and judgment; they are not an official Lembaga Peperiksaan instrument or a simulation of the writing, reading or oral format.
In which language and script is the official exam sat?
Officially in Kadazandusun (Boros Momogun). Kadazandusun is written in the Roman/Latin script using a standardised orthography maintained by the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) — there is no separate traditional script. This English MCQ bank discloses that it is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting or translation of the exam.
Does Bahasa Kadazandusun have a KSSM DSKP teaching curriculum?
Yes. Unlike some smaller SPM language electives, Bahasa Kadazandusun has its own Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Menengah (KSSM) Dokumen Standard Kurikulum dan Pentaksiran (DSKP), published in September 2018, which sets the subject's goals, objectives and school teaching-learning content ahead of the SPM assessment.
How is SPM Bahasa Kadazandusun graded?
Like other SPM subjects, results are reported on the A+ to G scale. Grade G is a fail; D and E are passes; C or above is a credit (kepujian). Exact percentage cut-offs are not published.
Is there a separate fee for SPM Bahasa Kadazandusun?
Candidates registered through government schools do not pay a separate subject fee because SPM is Ministry-funded. Private (calon persendirian) candidates pay the registration fee set by Lembaga Peperiksaan for the session.
