Evangeline Yii Jia Xin, the eldest of her six siblings, who achieved 4.00 has planned to apply for scholarships to further her study in Law.
“I did not expect to get this 4.00 CGPA result, I’m speechless and happy because most people said that STPM is not easy to score.
“I will apply for scholarship, probably Brickfields Scholarship as well as The Star Education Fund because I see that they provide a lot of tuition fees and others. I am very keen to study Law, and that’s the reason I took literature class,” she said.
Her father is a manager and her mother who is self-employed revealed that her tips for studying was highlighting the gist of the topic instead of studying the elaboration as well as enjoy and not be stressed while studying.
“My advise to those sitting for STPM this year is to not listen to others saying that STPM is difficult to score, because nothing is impossible. Last time I failed my subjects but I was able to rise again and now I achieved my best result,” she added. Shemira Adzhar, youngest of her two siblings, expressed her gratitude for her 4.00 CGPA result.

“As a student, facing difficulties while studying is part of our life, it is just a matter of how you complete your tasks and courseworks, we have to follow the requirements from our teachers, but thankfully I managed to cope with it and everything went well.
“My advise is to be fully committed in Form Six, if not you are just going to waste the one and a half years of study. Work hard and be smart,” she added.
Celebrating her excellent results, she revealed that she would pursue her studies in Law either at local or foreign universities.
