STPM compare with A level , of course A level will be more easier for u , becoz STPM is very very hard, honestly speaking.. Becoz STPM is the 2nd hardest exam among the world.. This what been told by my teacher b4..

its hard if u always play dota everynite
im a person who fail to further my study at UK becoz dota
hahaha nway A-level is notin for me

LXL = edexcel. sorry, my friends who took it call it LXL. dunno why I took OCR, so I got annoyed when I saw their syllabus. Most of my first year uni maths course was covered in OCR but not in edexcel

i play almost every night..still get good results but didn't go to uk wor...

thanks u guys and girls out there that have give ample comments and advices for me....i now have a clear view of what i am going for.

cambrige A-level also is follow semester by semester ??

good luck and all the best. tell us your success stories when ever u can!

I doubt that, strictly.
There are many pre-u programmes around the globe harder than ours.

can name 1 example?

Hong Kong Form 6 (A-levels), Singapore A-level, IB..

This one seems hard XD
Cambridge Pre-U Diploma
http://www.cie.org.uk/qualifications/academic/uppersec/preu

They have one grade that is said higher than CAL's new A* grade XD
UCAS tariff
The top grade, Distinction 1, reports achievement above the new A Level A* grade; Distinction 2 is aligned to the A* at A Level, and Distinction 3 is aligned to the current Grade A. The lowest pass grade, Pass 3, is aligned to the border between E and U at A Level.

Do I get more university credit if I do the whole Diploma?
UCAS will not decide the tariff points for the Cambridge Pre-U Diploma until the syllabus is finalised. However, universities have indicated that it would be more impressive if a student applied to them with the Diploma.

How to study for a level in science??
I just went for the subject briefing and found that a level is wayyyyyyy a lot harder and Im worried that I can't manage to study well as I know my own level from SPM.

stpm...... i dont know what it is but if you have latest processor in your head with high ram also hdd is large then it is okay

What is hard or not hard is subjective. For example, for a person with high "logical intelligence", academic examination may be a piece of cake but try test him on "Interpersonal intelligence"and he could be a total failure.

Likewise, a person could have high "interpersonal intelligence" and easy at leading a team of workers but could fail miserably at "Musical Intelligence".

What I meant to say is, if you are low in "logical intelligence" aka academic intelligence but high "interpersonal intelligence", may be you should have a look at those Pre-U program from Australia instead where there is a lot more emphasis on group project and presentation instead of pure exams.

My 2 sen.

101% agree with u.

i did my alevel too,
what i can say is that the most important thing is no dota.

and pay attention to ur lecturer,understand all the topics,do past years,revise and revise...

straight A's in CAL is not impossible.

NOTE: there's A*s NOW hahaha!

get 4A*s in science maths, and you'll be on a plane to cambridge/oxford/imperial xD

ahaha don't really need all A* XD got to perform in other stuff like BMAT for stuff like medicine,interviews and need a great personal statement as well ^^ I got a friend who has a conditional offer to Cambridge for Medicine now.Need one A* and three As.

it's an encouraging statement

just asking i only got 4 As for IGCSE u think i can do a levels? isit really hard?
I heard people all A* also cannot cope .
