1According to the Lembaga Peperiksaan format for SPM Bahasa Kadazandusun (6357), Kertas 1 Bahagian A is a:
A.Free-choice essay of at least 250 words
B.Guided composition (karangan berpandu) worth 10 marks
C.Multiple-choice grammar test worth 20 marks
D.Oral discussion assessed at school
Explanation: The official format table for 6357 lists Kertas 1 Bahagian A as a 10-mark guided composition (karangan berpandu), one required question, distinct from Bahagian B's free-choice essay.
2The official LP sample for Kertas 1 Bahagian A requires the guided composition to be:
A.Exactly 50 words
B.150-200 words
C.At least 300 words
D.Unlimited length
Explanation: The sample instruction sets the guided composition length at 150-200 words (patod boros), matching a limited-response writing task rather than the longer Bahagian B essay.
3The official Kertas 1 Bahagian A sample gives points about listening to the teacher, reviewing lessons, following a study timetable, discipline, and health/cleanliness. These points collectively support a composition on:
A.Complaining about examination stress
B.Advice for succeeding in one's studies
C.Planning a holiday trip
D.Reviewing a sports tournament
Explanation: The five guided points (mokinongou boros do mongingia', aparu monoguli toinsanan, popotounda jadual balajar, kidisiplin om otorodok, apatong kumaa molohing om kinorohingan) all describe study habits, so the composition topic is advice for exam/study success, addressed to a friend or younger student.
4Which guided point from the official Kertas 1 Bahagian A sample relates to listening to the teacher?
A.Mokinongou boros do mongingia'
B.Popotounda jadual balajar
C.Kidisiplin om otorodok
D.Apatong kumaa molohing
Explanation: 'Mokinongou boros do mongingia'' translates to listening to the teacher's words/advice — the first guided point in the official sample.
5'Aparu monoguli toinsanan di binalajaran' is one of the official guided points. It instructs the candidate to write about:
A.Ignoring lessons already taught
B.Regularly reviewing what has been learned
C.Skipping revision entirely
D.Avoiding group study
Explanation: This point calls for regularly reviewing/repeating lessons already learned — an active revision habit expected of a successful student.
6'Popotounda jadual balajar' as a guided point means the composition should mention:
A.Following a study timetable
B.Buying new stationery
C.Watching more television
D.Sleeping late every night
Explanation: 'Jadual balajar' is a study timetable/schedule; 'popotounda' means to follow or adhere to it — a standard study-success tip.
7'Kidisiplin om otorodok' as a guided point emphasises:
A.Discipline and diligence
B.Wealth and status
C.Popularity among friends
D.Physical strength
Explanation: 'Kidisiplin' (discipline) and 'otorodok' (diligent/hardworking) together describe the personal qualities the composition should highlight.
8'Apatong kumaa molohing om Kinorohingan' as a guided point directs the writer to mention:
A.Attention to health and cleanliness
B.Attention to fashion trends
C.Attention to social media
D.Attention to sports scores
Explanation: 'Molohing' (healthy) and 'Kinorohingan' (cleanliness) together point to paying attention to health and hygiene as part of a successful student's habits.
9How does the official item type for Kertas 1 Bahagian A differ from Bahagian B?
A.Bahagian A is Subjektif Respons Terhad (guided/limited); Bahagian B is Subjektif Respons Terbuka (open, free-choice)
B.Both are identical multiple-choice formats
C.Bahagian A is oral; Bahagian B is written
D.Bahagian B is guided while Bahagian A is free-choice
Explanation: The LP format table classifies Kertas 1 Bahagian A as Subjektif Respons Terhad (a limited response built from set points) and Bahagian B as Subjektif Respons Terbuka (an open essay chosen from 3 titles).
10A well-executed Kertas 1 Bahagian A response should also:
A.Ignore the required format and write freely
B.Follow the format specified in the instructions (e.g. a letter to a named recipient)
C.Switch to English mid-composition
D.Repeat the same point five times
Explanation: The sample instructs candidates to write to a specific recipient using the required writing format — format compliance is part of the assessed skill, alongside covering all given points.

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.

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.

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.
