# [BREAKING] PT3 to be abolished starting this year

**KUALA LUMPUR** - Form 3 students will no longer be required to sit for the PT3 examination, which will be abolished effective this year, reported [New Straits Times](https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2022/06/801679/radzi-jidin-pt3-exams-abolished-effective-year-nsttv).

Education minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin made the announcement during a press conference which was aired live on his Facebook page and DidikTV today.

This comes after PT3 was cancelled for two consecutive years in 2020 and 2021 following the Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia.

"In 1993, PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah) was introduced and PT3 in 2014. In 2020 and last year, PT3 exams were not carried out.

> **Many wondered what will happen with PT3 exams this year? We have decided to abolish it starting this year.**

Radzi added that the ministry plans to implement summative assessment while working to improve school-based and classroom-based assessments in schools.
