What are the set texts for SPM Bible Knowledge 9221?
The syllabus covers two books: the Gospel according to St Luke (chapters 1–24) and the Acts of the Apostles (chapters 1–28). The Good News Bible (Today's English Version) is the accepted standard text; candidates are not penalised for using other English versions in answers.

Is SPM Bible Knowledge a multiple-choice exam?
No. The official paper uses context (short-answer) questions and essays. The practice items on this page are an English four-option MCQ study adaptation to build recall and judgment for the written paper; they are not an official Lembaga Peperiksaan instrument.
In which language is SPM Bible Knowledge sat?
Officially in English. The subject is designed around English set texts (Luke and Acts), and answers are written in English.
How is SPM Bible Knowledge 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.
Does the syllabus include the whole Old and New Testament?
No. Assessed content is the life and teaching of Jesus in Luke and the growth of the early church in Acts. Old Testament material appears only where Luke or Acts quote or allude to it (for example prophecies or speeches), not as a separate OT survey syllabus.
Is there a separate fee for SPM Bible Knowledge?
Candidates registered through government and government-aided MOE 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.
