Key Facts: STPM Ekonomi 944 Exam

STPM Ekonomi (944) is a Form Six economics subject assessed over three equal-weight written papers — Mikroekonomi, Makroekonomi and Ekonomi Gunaan — under the refined (dimurnikan) syllabus effective Semester 1 STPM 2026, graded on the A-to-F STPM grade point scale where grade C (2.00) is a principal pass.

Sample STPM Ekonomi 944 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your STPM Ekonomi 944 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In STPM Mikroekonomi, the basic economic problem of scarcity (kekurangan) arises because:

A.Unlimited wants must be satisfied with limited resources

B.All goods are free and non-rival in consumption

C.Government always produces more than households demand

D.Prices are fixed by law in every market

Explanation: Scarcity exists because human wants are unlimited while resources (land, labour, capital, entrepreneurship) are limited. Choices and opportunity cost follow from this constraint.

2A student spends 2 hours studying Ekonomi instead of working a part-time job that pays RM15 per hour. The opportunity cost of studying is:

A.RM30

B.RM15

C.RM0 because study has no money cost

D.RM45

Explanation: Opportunity cost is the value of the next-best alternative forgone. Two hours at RM15 per hour forgoes RM30 of earnings.

3On a production possibility curve (keluk kemungkinan pengeluaran), a point inside the curve indicates:

A.Inefficient use of resources or unemployment of factors

B.Productive efficiency with full employment

C.An unattainable combination given current resources

D.That opportunity cost is zero for every move

Explanation: Points inside the PPC are attainable but inefficient — resources are underused. Points on the curve are efficient; points outside are currently unattainable.

4If the price of a good falls from RM10 to RM8 and quantity demanded rises from 100 to 140 units, the arc (midpoint) price elasticity of demand is closest to:

A.1.50 (elastic)

B.0.67 (inelastic)

C.2.00 (elastic)

D.0.40 (inelastic)

Explanation: Arc PED = |(ΔQ/avg Q) / (ΔP/avg P)|. ΔQ=40, avg Q=120 → 40/120=1/3. ΔP=−2, avg P=9 → 2/9. PED=(1/3)/(2/9)=1.5, so demand is elastic.

5When price rises from RM5 to RM6, quantity demanded falls from 200 to 180. Using the midpoint method, PED is approximately:

A.0.58 (inelastic)

B.1.00 (unit elastic)

C.1.75 (elastic)

D.0.20 (inelastic)

Explanation: ΔQ=−20, avg Q=190 → 20/190≈0.1053. ΔP=1, avg P=5.5 → 1/5.5≈0.1818. PED≈0.1053/0.1818≈0.58 < 1, so inelastic.

6Income rises from RM2,000 to RM2,500 and quantity demanded of a good rises from 40 to 50 units. Using the midpoint method, income elasticity of demand is:

A.1.00 (normal good, unit income-elastic)

B.0.50 (necessity)

C.2.00 (luxury)

D.−1.00 (inferior good)

Explanation: ΔQ=10, avg Q=45 → 10/45≈0.222. ΔY=500, avg Y=2,250 → 500/2250≈0.222. YED≈1.0. Positive YED means a normal good.

7The price of good X rises from RM4 to RM5 and demand for related good Y falls from 100 to 80 units. Cross elasticity of demand (midpoint) is closest to:

A.−1.00 (complements)

B.+1.00 (substitutes)

C.−0.50 (weak complements)

D.+2.00 (strong substitutes)

Explanation: ΔQY=−20, avg Q=90 → 20/90≈0.222. ΔPX=1, avg P=4.5 → 1/4.5≈0.222. XED≈−1.0. Negative cross elasticity indicates complements.

8If PED = 0 for a good, a RM2 per unit tax imposed on sellers will:

A.Be borne entirely by buyers through a full price rise equal to the tax

B.Be borne entirely by sellers with no change in consumer price

C.Be shared equally regardless of elasticities

D.Leave quantity traded unchanged only if supply is perfectly elastic

Explanation: When demand is perfectly inelastic (PED=0), buyers cannot reduce quantity; the consumer price rises by the full tax and buyers bear the entire burden.

9Market demand is Qd = 100 − 2P and market supply is Qs = 20 + 2P. The equilibrium price (RM) is:

A.20

B.25

C.15

D.30

Explanation: Set 100 − 2P = 20 + 2P → 80 = 4P → P = 20. Equilibrium quantity = 20 + 2(20) = 60.

10Using Qd = 100 − 2P and Qs = 20 + 2P, if government sets a maximum price (price ceiling) of RM15, the resulting shortage is:

A.20 units

B.10 units

C.40 units

D.0 units (no shortage)

Explanation: At P=15, Qd=100−30=70 and Qs=20+30=50. Shortage = 70−50 = 20 units. A ceiling below equilibrium creates excess demand.

About the STPM Ekonomi 944 Exam

Ekonomi (subject code 944) is the economics subject of the STPM, Malaysia's pre-university (Form Six) examination administered by Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia. For the 2026 cohort the sukatan pelajaran yang dimurnikan (refined syllabus) applies from Semester 1 STPM 2026, organising content across three equal-weight papers: Semester 1 Mikroekonomi (944/1), Semester 2 Makroekonomi (944/2), and Semester 3 Ekonomi Gunaan (944/3). Each paper lasts 2 hours 30 minutes and carries 33.33% of the subject grade. Candidates must take all three papers. Official assessment is in Bahasa Melayu and combines objective (aneka pilihan), essay (esei) and quantitative (kuantitatif) items covering elasticity, cost curves, national income, the multiplier, monetary and fiscal policy, and applied Malaysian themes such as unemployment, inflation, SMEs, financial institutions and poverty. Results are reported on the STPM A-to-F cumulative grade point scale, with grade C and above counted as a principal pass. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation that preserves Malay economics terminology where useful.

STPM Ekonomi 944 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill the core elasticity formulae (price, income, cross) until you can compute percentage changes from RM price and quantity data without looking them up.

2Practise sketching short-run and long-run cost curves (ATC, AVC, MC, AFC) and reading the profit-maximising output where MR = MC for each market structure.

3Master the three GDP approaches (output, income, expenditure) and the distinction between GDP at market prices and GNP, including net factor income from abroad.

4Memorise the simple Keynesian multiplier k = 1/(1 − MPC) and practise fiscal-policy numerical questions with injections and withdrawals.

5For Ekonomi Gunaan, keep a Malaysia-focused notes sheet on unemployment types, CPI/inflation calculation, BOP accounts, PKS definitions, Bank Negara Malaysia's role, and poverty measures.

6Budget time across aneka pilihan, esei and kuantitatif sections in timed past-paper style drills — quantitative marks are often lost to arithmetic slips, not concept gaps.

7Learn the Malay technical terms (kelenturan harga, keluk kos, pendarab, imbangan pembayaran) even when practising in English, because the official papers use them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is STPM Ekonomi (subject code 944)?

Ekonomi (944) is the economics subject of the STPM, Malaysia's pre-university Form Six examination administered by Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia. It develops microeconomic, macroeconomic and applied-economy analysis, including quantitative calculation and diagram skills.

How is STPM Ekonomi structured and assessed?

Under the sukatan pelajaran yang dimurnikan (refined syllabus, applying from Semester 1 STPM 2026), candidates sit three written papers: 944/1 Mikroekonomi, 944/2 Makroekonomi and 944/3 Ekonomi Gunaan. Each paper lasts 2 hours 30 minutes, is centrally assessed, compulsory for every candidate type, and weighted 33.33%. Official papers mix objective, essay and quantitative sections in Bahasa Melayu.

How is STPM Ekonomi graded?

STPM uses a cumulative grade point scale from A (4.00) down to F (0.00). Grade C (2.00) and above is a principal pass (lulus penuh), C-minus to D is a partial pass (lulus sebahagian), and F is a fail. Each of the three papers contributes 33.33% of the subject grade under the MPM scheme.

What topics are covered in the Ekonomi 944 syllabus?

Semester 1 (Mikroekonomi) covers scarcity, markets, elasticity, production and costs, market structures and factor markets. Semester 2 (Makroekonomi) covers national income, equilibrium income and fiscal policy, money and banking, and international trade and finance. Semester 3 (Ekonomi Gunaan) covers unemployment, inflation, trade and BOP, SMEs, financial institutions, and poverty and income distribution.

Is the 2026 syllabus different from previous years?

Yes. The sukatan pelajaran yang dimurnikan applies from Semester 1 STPM 2026. The April 2026 MPM Peraturan dan Skema weights 944/1, 944/2 and 944/3 equally at 33.33% each (2h30m) under thematic names Mikroekonomi, Makroekonomi and Ekonomi Gunaan. Earlier schemes used Ekonomi 1/2/3 labels with unequal written-paper weights and a 944/4 kerja kursus component.

What are the STPM Ekonomi exam fees?

Private and individual private candidates pay a base fee of RM120.00 plus RM90.00 per subject (MPM FAQ Bayaran Yuran / Peraturan dan Skema). Government and government-aided school candidates (jenis 1, 7 and 8) are exempt from STPM exam fees. A written-paper retake costs RM50.00 per paper.

Are these practice questions the same as the official exam?

No. Official STPM Ekonomi papers are written and answered in Bahasa Melayu and combine objective, essay and quantitative sections. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for micro, macro and applied-economy knowledge — it is not a simulation of the official 944/1, 944/2 and 944/3 papers.
