Electricity and magnetism is among the most challenging topics in physics course. Conceptual Survey in Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) has been developed to probe students understanding on these topics at pre-university and early undergraduate level. However the instrument is not yet available in Malay version. The aim of this study was to validate and to get the reliability of the adapted CSEM, so called CSEMy. The adaptation of the CSEMy followed three phases: Phase 1 Pre-adaptation, Phase 2 Translation and Phase 3 Reliability. The study successfully produced validated and reliable CSEMy. The result of using CSEMy is valuable for standardized comparison among international institutions as the language difficulty was removed to focus more on probing the conceptual understanding.
