STPM ICT 958 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
STPM ICT (958) is the Information and Communications Technology subject in the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia, the Malaysian higher school certificate taken after Form Six. It suits post-secondary students who want a computing qualification that counts toward university entrance and who may continue into computer science, information systems, networking or multimedia programmes. The syllabus is broad rather than vocational: it treats ICT as both a technical and a social subject, so candidates are expected to explain concepts in structured prose as well as solve small technical problems. Assessment is by written examination with structured and essay-type questions across eight domains - ICT and society, computer systems, information systems and databases, programming and problem solving, networking and communications, multimedia and web technology, information security and ethics, and emerging technologies. The STPM ICT 958 case studies are 5 cases and about 4,505 words.
