Hi all, i have a question here and i'm still quite confused on something......The thing is....i'm gonna get my SPM results later but still confused whether to enter Form 6 or to enrol for college courses....but what i interested is to study as a comp technician like repairing comps and so on...Is there any courses that oni concentrates on becoming comp technician? Hope that someone would give me some guidelines....thanx alot..

I'm not sure what sort of course provides you with what you want, however, if you're really really sure about what you want to do in the future, I would suggesting going to a college (as in general, you'll spend more time going into STPM compared to college) ...

However, I'm in no way doubting you, but sometimes, the decision we make when we are young are in - correct ... So why not open up yourself to more choices and try not to confine yourself?

All the best to you

Hi, i'm a Form 5 graduate. I hav read the whole thread but i still feel confuse... (I think i'm not clever enough to absorb all the posts.)

OK, it's like tis.
I onli get 5As during my trial, so sad~ I can actually do better than tat but nervous drives me down..... Will trial result influence anything? Hopes not cuz my result is damn shxt!

I'm interested in both (Computer, technology or anything like tat.)engineering n medical, do i need to be a very out standing student to apply for tat?

I hav applied for Matric but i'm not confident.

Anyway, i'll choose Form 6 if i failed 2 enter Matric. But from wat i hav read from many other threads, most said matric is not tat gud... While my all my teachers keep telling me better enter Matric if u can.

Btw, Matric/Form 6 syllabus is in English now? Kinda afraid cuz my English is not very good as from wat u can see from my post~

And oso, i want 2 ask something:
Can i get any scholarships for entering Uni? For ur infomation, i'm not from a wealthy family n i'm a kampung boy n i'm a Chinese. (So u guys will not ask me to get scholarship from any Islam organization, lol.)

I'll appreciate all ur helps.

trial? is that spm trial? it depends. i used it to get into taylor's college last time. but ultimately it's your actual spm result that counts.

yeah, i suppose to do both engineering and medicine you've got to be an outstanding student. especially if you're aiming for local unis, u've got to do your stpm well.

from what i've heard, stpm's syllabus is much more detailed compared to matriculation. that means u've more to study in stpm. i know form 6's syllabus is currently in english, no idea bout matriculation though.

Outstanding = straight A? gurp....

I think my last post is confusing, i mean i will neither choose engieering or medicine, i want 2 ask tat do i need 2 be a very outstanding student 2 apply one of them?

Btw, how much i need 2 spend for engineering/medicine course in uni? Is it hard 2 get loan or scholarship? And how many years it takes?

*out of topic:
lunarcry, ur avatar(Tonberry) is cute!

You don't need to worry much about your trial results if you're not thinking of applying courses using the trial results ... (besides, I didn't get any As for my trials too as far as I can remember )

You don't need an outstanding set of results (assuming you meant straight As) to apply for such course (though having straight As will definitely gives you an advantage in your application for things like scholarship) ... You can enter to the mentioned courses as long as you have an above average results in the relevant subjects ...

I'm not sure about matrics and STPM as I never been through both so I can't really tell you whether they are easy or which one's better

Lastly, you'll be facing with an English environment sooner or later, why not start early?

*By the way, you can try slowly improving your English through typing a proper word instead of using internet jargons ... I'm not English educated (that's why you can still spot some errors here and there ) and that's how I learn to improve my English, by watching tvs, reading book and writing alot of things ...

All the best to you

Thanks~

Then how many years will an engineering/medicine course takes?

engineering, 3-4 years
medicine, typically 6 years.

To tell the truth, it won't look appleasing if you say you either want to do engineering or medicine.

What is it? My SPM trial result?

no, not your result..............your inlclination to either do medicine or engineering doesn't sound nice.

Huh?? Then how will it sounds nice???

I am not sure whether are you aware of that, though it may be only me, most universities take it quite umpleasantly if you submit a personal statement which indicates an interest in these two fields. Put it this way, It is very hard to convince people that you have a genuine interest in both fields.........mind you, these two fields are worlds apart, though both are related to the sciences.

I'm a form 4 student and would like to know more about the path I'm going to go through.

Is the participation in co-curiculum activities essential for persuing my studies in tertiary education institutes? I have like 2 chairman posts for co-cu and I dun know whether it's necessary to do so... Ya noe, the points and testimony thingy they were talking all the time?

Is it only necessary to do so when in form 6? I heard that only your Form 6 participation in co-cu will count towards your qualification into local U.

If you intend to pursue popular courses in IPTA, extra co-curricular activities are important. New rules are being implemented from this year onwards, with 10% of the points allocated to assess your achievements in co-curricular activities. It is no longer a secondary criteria that acts as bonus. That being said, no one actually knows what schemes those government dudes use as the informations are not disclose to the mass public.

Hi there..

Wanna ask question here;

I heard that after we take medic(Dr.) we need to service for the gov for at lest 1 year? is it true?

And, which is the best path if I really want to take medic course.
which U, or, college..or STPM...

Ok..

If i've not mistaken, in malaysia, after your basic degree you'll have to do 1 year housemanship and 3 years compulsory government service. (i'm not very sure, correct me if i'm wrong).

Regarding which path to take, you'll have to first decide whether you want to enter local unis or not. To be able to get into local unis (UM etc) you'll have to go for stpm or matriculation.
But if you don't mind not entering local unis, you could take other pre-u courses such as a-levels and sam. And after that your choices would be private unis (IMU, PMC etc). You'll not be able to enter any local unis though.
Well of course if you take stpm you could still opt for private unis.

Want to ask somethings.

-Is computer engineering a branch electrical engineering? Is there any other branch from computer engineering?

-What subjects are important for:
Computer engineering?
Medicine?

I'll appriciate any help.

^There is a dedicated thread for Engineering you know. Post your Q there.

i have a question to ask ...if we choose to study at a-level, what are the examples of institutions that offer this program?

got lots of'em,

especially around subang jaya.

inti,taylors,kdu..most ipts offer this..not sure about ipta..
