Any ex-matrix students here?
I wish to ask is it easy to score 4.0?
I know it's easy compared to STPM and A-level >.<
I guess it will be slightly harder than form5..am I true?

Its easier compared to Form 6 as your results are aggregated from your each semester exams..

Form 6 results is from exams alone, so its 1 shot and do your best for it.

it's easy.
as long as u study hard for that..

Of course if you look it one way you could say it is easier to score than A-levels or STPM but you can't really compare matrikulasi to those programs actually.Matrikulasi is a bit more like SAM compared to A-Levels and STPM which are totally exam based.You are assessed throughout the whole program from quizzes, performance in the labs,in tutorials,lab reports,semester exams etc. and finally the final exam.You gotta work consistently to get the 4.0 can't play around too much ^^

If your the type that can work consistently rather than the type that suddenly starts studying when exams are near yes you will get a 4.0 easily if not well you might be able to get a 3.0 +- if your the type than can cram it all in your head in a short period or you will fall ^^"
Simply speaking consistent work and study smart will get your a 4.0 easily =)

Yes. Definitely easy. My fren who scored 3As in SPm scored 4 flat in matriculation.
But, wanna to clarify.. actually matriculation is not easy.. just that when u study matrix, u nit to stay in their hostel... so... no entertainment... no gaming...that's y u spend more time on ur assignment and study... then u felt easier when u sit 4 the exams... actually, the syllabus for matrix and stpm is exactly the same, in fact, certain matriculkation college using the same stpm books aso...somore if u wanna to get 4flat in matrix, it is quite stress aso when u have to maintain 4.0 in sem1 and sem2... meaning if sem1 u did not get 4.0, sem2, how hardworking u r aso pointless...
if stpm students were study like matrix student, I guess they will felt stpm is easier... (i went through b4, nothing 2suggest matrik is harder than stpm, it is of the same level...)... my fren, hu studied matrik, spent 10hours in normal class, additional 5-7hours self-study... slept 2/3am n wake up 7am... so... their effort should be respected by every1.. dun always say matrik is easy... (4me, of cos i think stpm easier cos i spent more time reading than 4entertainment....)

1000+ students got cgpa 4.0 out of 20,000 matrik students.......ie about 5%........

300+ stpm students got aaa/4.0 out of 50,000 students, ie 0.6%.......

make your own conclusions........

matrikulasi damn easy getting good result than stpm student

a fren of mine, not even half a dozen of A's for spm, matriculation 4.0, easily accepted by public U, now, doin' law at UM

he is considered lucky to get into matriculation with such results

ex-matriculation student? i bet u're not >_> it's the learning system... like z21j said...

lugiamcg:

dun compare about the amount of A in SPM wif m3x CGPA... it depends on the person ... even if u get 12A1 then during m3x u just fooling around definitely u're going to get shi**y CGPA , like my fren who got only 2.6 ...

matrix is not easy ... period...

Matrikulasi is not as easy as most people say it is ^^" You can't just see more people scoring in matric and saying it's easier.Like somebody said a lot more people score because of the system and the environment there.Unless you bring a laptop there or some games like psp etc you won't have much to do beside playing sports in the evening and maybe watching tv during your other free time or maybe lepak with your friends a bit.Other than that you will be spending your time doing work and studying you can only go out on weekends and have to be back before 7 ^^" I was in matric for one semester and then stoped and went to private college since I knew I could not get anywhere near above 3.5 ^^" It depends heavily on you to get 4.0

nobody is saying it is easy..........

it's just EASIER then stpm..........

and it's NOT the 'learning system', nor the 'environment'..........it's an easier assessment method.........

if the 'system' is so great, why are we NOT scraping the useless stpm and moving all to matrik 'system'?...........

like i said many times, msia is the only country i know in the world with TWO official pre-u streams feeding to public universities...........separated by ethincity........

it's so unbelievable of you to come out with the conclusion that matrix > stpm....
exactly the same and equal standing?this sounds more like an unsubstantiated claim than a verified fact,I remember one of my teachers who was a matrix graduate says matrix is only about 1/3 the toughness of stpm....
I think you can get the picture of how difficult stpm actually is compared to matrix...
and one last thing,if you think that taking stpm will gain more 'entertainment' time,trust me you're gonna regret saying this....

+1. Good statistics. LOL.

Another fact....90++% of matrix is malays. 4.0 is about 5%....coincidence ?

Sorry CleverDick, I was in stpm b4 so I sincerely felt that stpm is not a big deal... cos... my schooling time was just 8am-1pm everyday (except friday on 1230pm), but my matrix fren...study 8am-4/5pm (normal schooling time) and ++ with compulsory moral studies, koku, ict and donoe what else...
Be mature enough, that if u r a stpm leaver, u surely say stpm is harder, vice versa to the matrix leaver... I meant matrix is harder because they reli put their effort in study... unlike MYSELF... I will just study 2 weeks b4 exams... the rest of time having fun... part-time here and there... it is a luck 2get 4.0 in stpm. I think ur teacher is the exceptional case as a matrix student, 1/3 toughness of stpm is because in matrix, u r well-prepared for the examination... no1 (majority) dare to enter exams hall without preparation... everything is in their finger-tips d... stpm is hard because v dun have semester basis that allows us to throw away the syllabus like what matrix did+100% exams based... Nevertheless, I agree stpm is one of the toughest exams around the world, but b fair to matrix student... I was having a very good time during form6; relax and not stress except when it come nearer to the exams... but, matrix student stress all the time, especially chinese, when they c their fren scoring 4flat or even higher marks in TEST, they r like going mad... I donoe whether it is the majoritarian view, but i think is true.. imagine, in a hostel... no entertainment, no poting all the time like jail... what else could be talked abt? obviously TEST, ASSIGNMENT, STUDY...
Lastly, Only those who went through matriculation know who's the real situation(may hope for more sharing from ex-matrix), t4, CleverDick... unless u r super mega bookworms, otherwise, u will still have more "entertainment" time than matrix student... (at least, u spend 2-3 hours a day with ur family and gbf, that was what i appreciated the most in f6)...
Well, there is not significant to argue which 1 (stp or matrix) is harder... is just an argumentative question of perception... Again, If u scored in matrik, u surely say matrix is easier... if u scored in stpm, u surely say matrix is easier... this is endless argument... to be sincere.. what i posted is just merely my own opinion... that if I were to send to matriculation, I probably cannot get 4.0 as of the stress environment and keep maintaning 4.0 over the year... I rather sit for 1 shot exams like stpm and a-level... at least... meantal not that suffer and theoretically, u may have more rest time in between...

easy, make sure you work hard, 4.0 is yours..

if not work hard?

maybe be get lower.

people obvious failed to see the difference between the process of studying.........and the end results.........

of course you have to study hard, whether in stpm or matrik..........

it's the results at the end that decides everything, and that's what makes matrik 'easy'.............

after all, the ts asked about the results..........how difficult to get 4.0..........NOT how hard you have to study.......and for that, the statistics i gave above does NOT lie.........

Yes... I agreed... U meant that end result shows matrik is easier to get 4.0. But who started to bring in the stpm topic? If v dun discuss abt study hard... then pointless to discuss about easy/hard to get 4.0. How hard/smart u study has a direct impact/relationship of getting 4flat. Ppl obviously failed to relate these issue. To answer ts, well... like saturn85 said if study hard 4.0 surely in hand... to discuss relatively, it is easy to get 4.0 in matrik, if you...
a) can tahan all the stress/pressure
b) high confident to maintain both semester of 4.0 gpa
c) sacrifice majority of your entertainment time
d) half way become book worm
e) determine to enter prestigious local uni
f) can sleep in the midnight, wake up early morning
g) suit with the living condition/environment
h) willing to study at least 13-5 hours per day
i) confident in scoring high marks in mid sem, as it would carries 10% of your overall result
All those issues mentioned above are tips from (shen xue qing bao), internet and experience from my fren. If you satisfy all above, congratle... 4.0 is yours
