lets say if i want to study f6 next year,can u tell me the advantage and disadvantage of form 6?

u wanna go into local Uni?
if yes the F6 is a must lor.

advantages

can go local Uni
save $$$
recognised else where
provide you with a solid foundation for your degree
sch teac..being spoon fed for the very last time

disadvantages

practically none other than it is quite time consuming

Advantages

-You save up money, especially for Bio subjects and stands the chance to enter local U.
-Good foundation if you still don't know which path you wanna head to.

Disadvantages
-You must do well in order to enter local U. Else, 2 years of your effort is wasted. If your result is good, it doesn't mean that you can choose the course that you want, if you are not a bumiputra.
-Time consuming to some course.
-Form 6 is tough

well advantages are as what the rest said above.
disadvantages- its like a bottleneck situation to get a placing in local uni if ur a non-bumi. Furthermore, even good results might only give u a place in some crappy courses.

Go for it.... u wont regret,

save A'level or Diploma Fees.

Form 6 is a tried and true option to go for uni. Other option can be matriculation (big advantage for bumis, if you non-bumi 10% chance is there).

For pros, Form 6 results is accepted by any local unis and international.

For cons, probably the time length and the boring school environment.

I went through it.

Main advantages:
- More widely accepted comapred to matriks.
- Low cost.
- Low entry requirement. (Not sure if this is an advantage, included it is very hard a non-bumi to enter matriks. )

Main disadvantages:
- Slim chance to enter IPTA, even you can, most probably you can't get the course you want unless you got a very good result.
- The scope is very wide, you have to study much more than matriks.
- Time consuming. From the day you start till the day you get your result, almost 2 years but you actually study about 1 years++ only.

i believe there exists a thread similar to this.
And there's a F6 thread as well no? perhaps u can seek some suggestions from there too

hey...2008 stpm candidates!!! go look for the "PENGAJIAN AM2-stpm 2008" thread~

u got $$??? then pls skip form 6.

no $$?? then pls go ahead with form 6.

TS,

Depends on your ambition. If you just wana get into university, then F6 should be good enough.

If you aim for something higher such as going overseas, applying for scholarships, entering critical courses, then going into F6 is quite risky.

I'll quote Eminem here to summarize the feeling of going into F6:


By the time you know the answer to his question, it would have been the best 2 years of your life spent. Or worst 2 years wasted.

That's how I felt near STPM. PHEAR!

most girls change (for the hotter) after they leave high school. well form 6 is still considered high school.

all jokes aside. the curriculum is hard and u have to waste an extra year instead of doing matrix, foundations. i'd say form 6 if u dont know what u wana do yet.

oh and money wise of course form 6 is the more economical path

Isn't Form 6 high school? (Still considered??)

Form 6 is cheap (almost free) compared to college. But of course it is harder to score...need a lot of hard work...since it's almost a gamble (because you won't know whether you will get local uni or not in the end) Not to mention form 6 takes longer than college

form 6 is such a waste of time, they say. tough and time consuming!!

Advantage:

Ppl salute u...
u can still enjoy ur secondary skol life even thouh u now in pre-u level.
More happy, i think... coz no need to suit new environment ( except ur current skol doesnt hv F6 n u need to transfer to other skol la)

Disadvantage:

Hard work, hard time, no one can help u except u urself...

read thru everything... basically... tough and hard is not the disadvantage but a good time to train urself? thru form6 i learned a lot of things... for me... i neglected my form 6... always play play play... dota here and there coz i dun think government exam will be tht hard but stpm really shocked me and I dint do well... really my result sucks... but thru form6 i guess i'd grown up a lot.. this is jz my 2 cents.. dunno bout u guyz out there.. and ya form 6 is time consuming...so it's all up to you... hv fun...

with my bad result... im still in USM now... doing engineering... (Pls dun come to USM engineering campus!!! haha...the environment is nice...but quite boring... need to cr8 ur own entertainment...haha) In everything you do... pray and god will lead you...

Form 6 ar... The classes can be quite mixed up coz 5 passes including BM would get you into F6. It can be a good thing if you really really wanna prove yourself once more, but really really bad if you want a class of classmates of similar standard. Believe me you won't believe the kind of students that would enroll themselves into F6.

One thing to be proud of F6 is that you HAVE private and foreign universities to fall back to IF you do not get the result for IPTA or course that you want. For A Levels you HAVE TO continue degree in private and foreign universities.

And nothing beats the pride of saying you've done F6 when ppl ask you.
