About the STPM Sejarah 940 Exam
Sejarah (subject code 940) is the Form Six History subject of the STPM, Malaysia's pre-university examination administered by Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia. It is distinct from SPM Sejarah (subject code 1249), which is the secondary-school compulsory History paper.

Syllabus themes cover world history (c.1500–1955), Islamic history (c.500–1918), and Malaysia and Southeast Asia (c.1800–2000). Results use the STPM A-to-F grade point scale, with grade C and above a principal pass.
