i need help from all of you ..please reply me ASAP .
i've just got my spm result,it was terrible.
i wat to study course about sciences/maybe engineering/or maybe music(but not a music teacher,but a professional performer)

my spm result are as :
BM-B
BI-A-
MORAL-B+
SEJARAH-C+
MATHEMATICS-A
MUSIC-A
ADD MATHS-E
PHYSICS-C
CHEMISTRY-A-
BIOLOGY-C

Can anyone help me with my bad result??can i get loan or scholarship??

try all the scholarships you can,
loan no problem.
+ your results are okay, not bad.

u get E for addmaths. i suggesting u not to continue in engineering

what kind of science?

for engineering, i think u can forget about it since they will look at add maths result (E) and physics ©

to bcom a professional performer, u need to have the practical skill as well. did u learn piano or any other instruments? what grade r u?

Woah u got a for chem but e for add maths ar?? Neway dont worry dude i was not 2 far off i got 2a all b the worse day of my life still remembered but i did engineering i suffered initially then not 2 say its a great thing or what but now i am an engineer.After spm i was doubtful of myself low confidence n all n never pay attention but after awhile i got back my focus n concentrate on my studies so it was ok.But what i can tell u i think u should go either into some business program or usci got some music programs please check out =)
But what are subjects do u really like to learn???I suggest do something u are passionate about cz u will do better at what you are passionate about then something that u are forced 2 learn talking by experience =) good luck and all d best to you and please dont worry 2 much spm is the past and focus on the future =) Btw you can get ptptn loan =)

there's always PTPTN

if u can sacrifice ur sleep, ur karok time, ur date & rempit time and become a diligent person, i dunt see any problem if u wanna proceed in science. but u need to compete hardly with others for enrollment. there's always PTPTN and IPTS if u unable to get scholarship and IPTA. if u score at least 3.5 CGPA in the first year definitely u can apply any scholarship offered by some foundations or private firms. PTPTN is now convertible to scholarship depending on ur final year CGPA.

choose ur path wisely

Heyy. I've got this result (sorry for borrowing this thread)

BM A+
BI A
Maths A
EST A-
SEJARAH B+
ADDMATHS B
PENDIDIKAN MORAL B+
CHEMISTRY B+
PHYSICS C+
BIOLOGY C+

it hurts me so badly to see my result. my science subjects are..saddening.

i wonder if I still can get into any University for foundation programme.(esp in science field)

i cant go to matriculation anymore cause i didnt apply for it earlier. now im late and i am freakingly frustrated. i didnt eat as much as usual due to sadness.

i am willing to sacrifice my desire to enjoy and i am WILLING to become a dilligent person.

im just confused where should I go after this.
so sad that i want to break down.

maybe i just want to further my studies with shorter path. thats y im so frustrated. cause diploma takes 3 years. my mind is messed up.

Don't worry, Look ahead.
Both of you got more than 5 credits.
No problem entering into science/art foundation course in U or college.

Now, many U is having Open day. Go and visit and ask them.

thanks... but lots of people out there got more than 5 credits too..it's quite a competition.

i'd like to enter local U 'cause colleges/private U seems to cost more.

If you like to enter local U, you should study form 6 and take STPM.
Remember, you could not be offered the course you like to study in public U.

But if you study in college/private U, you can choose to study the course you like and achieve your dream career.

You can borrow from PTPTN to fund you study or apply for loan/scholarship at the college/U you are studying.

how about foundation? like in UM. wont it offer the course we like in public U?
but surely with my result, even UITM wont accept me.

but most people say form 6 is the toughest. oh gosh..moreover, in my place, kinda like rural, i hope form 6 teachers will be able to teach us goodly.

Bro & sis..SPM is not the end..there are many route to success..eventhou your addmath is E or physics is E..who say u can't become an engineer? If u learnt ur lesson well, start from below & work hard to improve your weakness.
U cant enter IPTA, apply to other private colleges & work things out from there. Don't be a lazy person who u used to be in school.

spm is the last common exam for most msians, and is a good general guide to a person's academic ability........

people with poor results, like ts, should look towards skill based further education, rather than academic......music may be an option, as ts obviously is blessed with music talents.......performance is possible, but the money will come with teaching eventually.....and it is a reasonable occupation......

BS. I have a friend whose SPM addmath near fail & physics failed. But he start from below & excel in his education & he becomes a successful engineer now. As the saying goes, where there's will, there's a way..

huhuhu. im determined not to be the lazy person like i used to be at school. i guess if foundation programmes wont accept me, then form6 is the answer. i frustrate cuz cant go matrix anymore. huhuhuuhuhuhu

i love music so much.. but what public unis offer that course? and my parents wont support me for that. in music, what can i be??? lecturer??

Yup Maybe weak in physic cant go for engineering.

you cannot take the exception and extrapolate into the general.......

eg, because someone survived a plane crash......what do you think your chances will be when you get involved in one?............

u seriously wan go form 6 arh? u must be really determined and resolute lor.

with your results(both of you) going for A-levels or STPM should not be a problem. directly going for diploma should not be a problem as well.
depending on the course that you applied and the university, you should be able to enroll unless they have a quota on how many students can be enrolled for that course(probably due to available mechanics, machineries and available teaching materials like lab wares).

many colleges around that will accept a lot of students as long as you meet their minimum requirements(they want your money $.$ to keep the college running). colleges like KTAR accepts nearly everyone who applies.

yup i learn piano,and violin

Added on March 25, 2011, 12:11 pmwill be able to get the loan??if i study in UCSI,the loan amount is big plus both of my parents are government workers,its hard for me to get the loan from PTPTN.

Added on March 25, 2011, 12:18 pmseriously,i so regret with my bad spm result.cuz i din't put enuf of effort in it.i know i can do it,but i think i was lazy.now i learn from mistake,i will do anything to achieve what i wana be in my future,i willing to sacrifice my other wasting time activities and use it for my studies.but now i is i got no idea which U or college to go,i more interested in science subject example, biochemical,pharmaceutical,psychology,biomedic,chemical engineering

chill bro!

i agree with what you say, i wanted to study music at first,but both of my parents strongly object with my decision,they are not supporting and encouraging me to study more in music...

that's the problem with asian parents in general......they look down on skilled work, the arts, and creative professions.........every parent wants their kids to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants etc.........

now is i finding U or college to go..can anyone tell me where to head?
thank you

why don't you study pharmacy?

i think that before,but i got no idea which U or college

go do a pre u first lah....aiyo......

no money, hope to get into matrik, if not go do form 6........

got money, just go private college do a levels/sam/ausmat/foundation lah..........

what do you think about UCSI??is it a good U??

to do what?........

SCIENCE/MUSIC

like i said, if you intend to do these at degree level, you will still need to have a pre-u, so you will still need to go somewhere for one of the available pre-u programmes.......ucsi itself have a-levels......

alternatively, if you are sure of what you want to do, then you can go straight into a foundation programme that leads to the course you want....

'science' is a vague term at degree level......if you mean pure science, then you will have to specify which, eg physics, chemistry, biology/zoology, mathematics, etc......

+1. not saying ts has poor results btw. generally there are only book smart vs street smart students and the rare ones that have both. if you're not the rare bunch or the book smart ones then you should obviously focus on your passion that can create something with value to the future. it can be a service (btw if u are an engineer, you are of service to your company n country) or a business. simply put it, you are worth as much as your skills. even if you are a doc,engineer that graduated wit 1st class honours, u get a ticket to more choices of companies, bigger firms n organisations.

doesnt mean bigger public listed companies are better than smaller ones. in those companies, ur skills still matter, after all, the company wants only the best of the best who can get the job done and get them the profit, not the best student of Uni of (insertnamehere) 2012. n how quickly you develop them depends on your passion n your strengths.

haters, im not saying academics are not important, but they do not determine your success in the future. its all in your hands. so do what you love, and love what you do.

true

hehhehe

however i love music. at the same time i love science which is pharmacy. i will do anything to pursue my dream career! i wanna go for pharmacy which i wanted to be for so long. no $$, so i'd better go form6. but i wonder why no people encourage diploma in science. it leads to be pharmacist too right. only it takes 3 years.

universities like UNIMAS, UIAM, and other unis, do graduates from there can get job too for pharmacy? i wonder why people love UM so much...i know it's top 1st in malaysia. but, other unis offer job also rite?

and i kinda have the NEGATIVE feeling here. since in my place, RARELY people got 4A's for STPM. In west m'sia, got like hundred score 4 or 5 A's. In my place , only 21 something. AND FOR ALIRAN SAINS, only 6 score better. which im so scared to go for STPM.

cheryl u can get up to rm16k per annum besides ptptn looks at ur parents combined income so if their income low then ur chances are higher
here are d criterias

Malaysian citizenship
Applicant must be a full-time student in his/her first degree program and diploma program as well as in one of the 11 local public institutes of higher learning-IPTA or local private institutes of higher learning- IPTS.
Applicant who has not receive any other sponsors
Pass the "Means Test" - evaluation of family's financial ability
Government servant undertaking half paid / unpaid leave

But after u finish ur studies make sure payback d loan ar dont b like those kiasu msians who take loan then cabut good luck

You wanna do engineering? Good.
Cause with your result you can continue to form 6 science stream. You need science subjects to pursue study in engineering. I hope you'll get offer to continue form 6 science stream.
If you got it, then you should study with your best, no more SPM-ish play-play. All the best! =)

can anybody explain to me more further about biochemical and pharmaceutical and pharmacy??this three seem alike for me...thx

no engineering/physic sub since u got an E for your Add maths

Eh i should be the one who are worried about my results.
Your result is considered good in that way

At least you had quite number of As there though =)
Btw,don't be so discouraged you can continue with engineering/physic if you're interested
But you have to put more effort into the study then,add maths is real hard though,but how could you get E...

Hi cheryl and michiyo ...

learning music is a niche if you ask me. with the kind of talent and skills you have, chances of u succeeding in this field is high if only you continue to have passion for it.

with a bachelor degree in music, you can be a music teacher, lecturer, performer, composer, and heck, you can even consider opening your own music school if you hv the dreams and capabilities to do it.

there are many majors within the music industry - composition, music arrangement, performance, music education etc ...

I know of a few colleges who offer music degree courses:

1) ICOM (international college of music) @ Setapak
2) UCSI @ Cheras
3) Yamaha @ Kelana Jaya


If you think that colleges are expensive, best public uni that offers music course is UPM (if i m not mistaken, you need to do STPM before you are qualified to enter public uni .. i don't know about music, but you can always call the faculty up to ask).

I always believe that once you have set your heart into something you are passionate about, go for it. Many high school leavers are often stuck at the next road(s) to take simply because they do not know what they want to do in the future .. or they have not found their passion yet.

but from the look of your posts, it seems like you have found it .. why not pursue it? Parents are mostly concern that you will not be able to earn a living with a music degree.. but i disagree strongly in this. I have known of people who made it in the music industry .. all it takes is persistence, hard work and passion ... you can convince your parents with your determination ...

here's wishing you all the best in your future undertakings ...

I don't think results are that bad. Try to take Chemical Engineering or Petroleum Engineering. Good salary and prospect there.

if study in degree, the ptptn loan is still seen by spm result huh..?

are you doing music course now??and where are you doing it??

Your results ok la... I have seen worst.

Atleast you guys still have credits. Can study any diploma or degree that you want.

Have you guys decided what to do? If you guys have, then go to edu fairs or open days & see la.

If haven't, I reco take STPM or A'levels....( that's what I'm gonna do anyways)

As someone who has done some math in college, and the same math all engineering students will have to go through, I suggest that you forget about engineering since you got an E for Add Math. I believe the standard for Add Math in SPM is already very low, so an E really means you can't do math. One truth is, people who get A1 or now the A+ also struggle with college math.

Anything else, well I guess you should have been thinking about this long before you took SPM, so my advice is to take the most general Pre-U you can afford and think about what you wanna do carefully during your Pre-U year.

I'm so damn frustrated now!!with all the pressure from my mom especially, keep asking to apply that course, these course, if can i think she will wan me to apply every entire course in the universe...
pls help me!!

i got

addmath: E
rekacipta: A+

seriously, i can take engineering? but from college/private U right? im not determined yet what i want to be, but my father is an engineer, i want to make him proud to follow his footsteps. but just look at my results, my addmath and physics. sometimtes, i feel like want to be a lawyer, but in the law course, we must read and memorize stuff, and thats not really my thing. so, i did some research about IT Project Management, but i dont really get what course do i have to take to get into the stream. and now, im all serabut. ah dang. someone, ur opinion will be highly appreciated.

and, one thing, i dont really know if my parents would want to spend their money on me for the private U/college. so yeh. :S

IT Pm talk cock and earn 10k plus

@nabilabak,

I shall ask you this. What are exactly your interests?

thats a tough question i must say. is it normal if i dont have any interests YET? thats why i cant really choose what course to take. :/

This post has been edited by nabilabak: Mar 31 2012, 02:20 AM

all is okay but add maths E @@
anyway, as long as your BM and BI got credit should be no problem on taking course

Of course it's normal! Only a handful of SPM students know what they really want to do. Since you are still pondering about your interests, my only advice is take Pre-U.

And since your sciency related subjects results are not good, perhaps it's time for you to change to arts. I don't know how well you studied during your Form 5, I will assume that you are weak in science. And let me tell you one thing. Following your father's footstep is good, but you shouldn't do this to impress your father. And what if you can't score well for engineering course? You think he will still proud of you? More like making him worry and wasting lots of money for your educations.

If your parents don't feel wanna pay too much for your pre-u life, your only alternative route is STPM. Do well in it and do some soul searching for yourself.

Pre-U is uhh form6 is it? aah back to school again. haha. didnt study like that hard last year cse i was too focus on sports. im an athlete. thanks, thank u sooooo much for the advise! i appreciate it. do u anything abt IT project management. but my mother said if i want to take anything that has to do with IT, the chance to get a job is quite hard cse there's too many people in the stream.
