Your SPM is over, and you feel a big weight lifted off your shoulders. You look into the horizon filled with possibilities. Then you ask yourself …
“What to do after SPM ah?”
Well, here are 5 profound steps you can take that will help you reflect on your next chapter in life.
1. Find Your IKIGAI
Some of you reading this might have already heard about the concept of IKIGAI, originating from Japanese philosophy and popularised by best-selling literature about this topic.
IKIGAI roughly translates to ‘’reason for being’’ which is a life principle to achieve happiness and purpose.
It is a grounded and practical philosophy that understands that all humans crave a sense of purpose in life and to make an impact in the world in their own way.
Passion can only carry you so far and you need to also consider the value you can offer the world which you will be paid for in order to sustain that passion.
Taking all this into consideration, the IKIGAI diagram, shown above, was created.
Uni Enrol further deeps dive into this topic in our dedicated article here.
2. Soak In Your Freedom!
During your final year of high school, SPM is all you can think about and focus on. Now that you’re free as a bird, you can do whatever you want!
In our conversations with some students right after SPM, many wished to work on their to-do lists that were on hold due to their exams.
Trivial or big undertakings, the point is, sometimes we should stop to appreciate and experience life.
- Read that novel you couldn’t finish.
- Organise your messy room!
- Binge watch your favourite anime series.
- Spend more time with friends and family.
- Travel to an exotic country.
- Join the Toastmasters club.
- Train for a marathon.
Whatever it is, create new experiences and challenge yourself!

3. Pick Up A New Skill
For those of you who are keen to keep the learning momentum going right after SPM, there are plenty of courses online and offline for you to choose from.
Online learning platforms such as Coursera and even Google offer free and paid courses on a wide range of topics.
For example, if you are interested in coding 42KL is a 100% BootCamp to learn about coding from scratch. You get to experience real-world projects and network with people from the tech industry.
Google offers a free course to learn about digital marketing using the Google Ads system. By the end you even get a certification which is sought after by industry practitioners.
Taking these short courses and workshops can give you insights into what drives you and will certainly help you in choosing your university course later.
Some universities also run trial classes as part of their effort to get a feel before enrolling into a course. Ask Uni Enrol, if you want to find out more.
4. Get A Part Time Gig
Starting your university life after SPM with the latest mobile phone model or a swanky new laptop might be your goal but your parent’s budget may not allow it.
You can apply for a part-time job or freelancing gigs to earn some income while waiting for your SPM results and learning which university to apply to.
However, before you blindly grab any job that comes your way, we also urge you to take up a job that will enhance your soft skills. Being a cashier or a Grab-rider can earn you some money, but you will likely not learn much from the experience.
Look for jobs that will help you improve your social skills and values such as resourcefulness and teamwork.
For example, jobs like:
- Retail salesperson
- Insurance/property agent
- Event management crew
- Freelance service provider
- Volunteer teacher
- Non-profit organisation
Social skills is one of the most invaluable assets one can have, especially if you need to persuade people to get what you want or be put in a leadership position where you need to get people to follow you.
