Key Facts: SPM Science Exam
SPM Science carries subject code 1511 and is the core KSSM Science subject administered by Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia.
Paper 1 (1511/1) consists of 40 objective multiple-choice questions worth 40 marks, completed in 1 hour 15 minutes.
Paper 2 (1511/2) is an 80-mark structured and open-response paper lasting 2 hours 30 minutes; Science 1511 has no separate practical Paper 3.
The SPM 2025 timetable lists 1511/1 (MCQ) and 1511/2 on the same examination day for Sains.
SPM subjects are graded on a 10-band scale from A+ down to G, where E is the lowest pass (Lulus), G is a fail (Gagal), and C or above is a credit (kepujian).
The syllabus covers DSKP KSSM Sains Form 4 (12 learning fields) and Form 5 (9 learning fields) across biology, chemistry, physics and earth/space themes.
Candidates from government and government-aided MOE schools sit SPM Science without a separate exam fee, as it is state-funded.
This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of Paper 1-testable KSSM content and is not an official Lembaga Peperiksaan paper.
Core KSSM Science (1511) assessed in two papers: a verified 40-question objective Paper 1 and an 80-mark structured Paper 2, covering Form 4–5 biology, chemistry, physics and earth/space themes and graded A+ to G. Our bank is an English MCQ study aid, not an official paper.

About the SPM Science Exam
SPM Science (subject code 1511) is the core KSSM Science subject sat at the end of Form 5. It is examined in two written papers: Paper 1 (1511/1) with 40 objective multiple-choice questions in 1 hour 15 minutes, and Paper 2 (1511/2) with structured and open-response items worth 80 marks in 2 hours 30 minutes (confirmed in the SPM 2025 timetable and LP assessment format). There is no separate practical Paper 3 for Sains 1511. The syllabus spans Form 4 (12 learning fields) and Form 5 (9 learning fields) under themes of scientific method/safety, maintenance of life, exploration of elements, energy and sustainability, and earth/space technology. Results are reported as a single grade on the 10-band A+ to G scale. Official papers are bilingual; this free practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation focused on Paper 1-testable knowledge, calculations and data interpretation — not an official Lembaga Peperiksaan instrument.

What topics are covered in SPM Science?
The syllabus follows DSKP KSSM Sains for Form 4 and Form 5, covering lab safety and first aid, genetics, support and coordination, green technology, elements and industrial/medicinal chemistry, forces and nuclear energy, microorganisms, nutrition, rate of reaction, carbon compounds, electrochemistry, light and optics, pressure, and space technology.
Is this practice bank the same as the official SPM Science paper?
No. Official Paper 1 has 40 MCQs and Paper 2 is structured/open response in a bilingual booklet. The 100 questions here are an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation of KSSM content to build knowledge and judgment; they are not an official Lembaga Peperiksaan paper or a full Paper 2 simulation.
Who administers SPM Science?
SPM is administered by Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia (the Malaysian Examinations Board) under Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (the Ministry of Education). It is sat by Form 5 students in MOE-registered schools and approved examination centres.
In which language is SPM Science sat?
Official SPM Science question papers are bilingual in Bahasa Melayu (Sains) and English. Candidates may answer according to the language options permitted for their stream. This practice page uses English MCQs as a study adaptation for English-medium preparation.
