Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3)
PT3 (Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3) is a school-based assessment taken by Form 3 students (age 15) that replaced the centralised PMR exam in 2014.
Unlike PMR, PT3 results are moderated at school level and do not carry external certification — but they heavily influence stream selection in Form 4 (Arts vs.
Science vs.
Vocational).
Key subjects include Mathematics, Science, Bahasa Malaysia, and English.
Parents often seek tuition in Form 2–3 to secure a Science stream placement.

Yes — PT3 grades determine whether your child is placed in the Science, Arts, or Technical stream in Form 4, which then affects SPM subject choices and university eligibility.
PT3 is a school-based assessment moderated by KPM. It is not a public centralised exam like SPM, but scores are recorded by the Education Ministry.
Most parents begin tuition in Form 2 to build a strong foundation before the PT3 assessment year.
