For the UPSR 2016 Science Sample Paper, this is what we noticed.
UPSR Old Format UPSR New Format (from year 2016)
- Sains 1 paper only
- Time allotted: 1 hour 15 mins
- Paper was divided into 2 sections
- Part A = 30 marks for 30 multiple choice questions
- Part B = 20 marks for 5 subjective questions
- Sains - 2 papers but considered as 1 subject
- Time allotted = 1 hour each for Paper 1 & 2
- Paper 1 = 40 multiple choice questions
- Paper 2 = 8 subjective questions 40 marks
That means now there is more emphasis on Science plus greater emphasis on subjective type questions.
For the UPSR 2016 Math Sample Paper, this is what was observed.

* According to a reader, although Math Paper 2 looks like it has fewer questions, each of them have 2 sub-questions at least so total is around 30 questions. Thanks for pointing it out, Michelle.
- Paper 1
- Time Allotted: 1 hour
- 40 multiple choice questions
- 60 marks
- Paper 2
- Time Allotted: 40 minutes
- 20 subjective questions
- 40 marks
- Paper 1
- Time Allotted: 1 hour
- 40 multiple choice questions
- 40 marks
- Paper 2
- Time Allotted: 1 hour
- 15 subjective questions
- 60 marks
Notice the shift in the marks with more marks given for the subjective questions and with lesser questions than before.
We won't analyse the questions. From the marks, time allotted, number of questions etc. you can see that there is a shift towards more HOTS types of questions.
