not really.....it is just for show.

i don't think that it is regarded as another A.......it is just the grading of your continuous writing of paper 2.

That's a very usual case. No need to upset for.

haha...i got A1 for 1119...
damn for EST that i got B3...can't understand why

btw....got other english paper meh?
why crimsonhead said got A1 for english and B3 for 1119?
two different subject ka?

Same subject and paper but two evaluation schemes. One from MOE and the other from GCE. That means your SPM certificate will show two grades for English 1119.

oh yeah...no wonder my 1119 there got two grades...the right right side there don know what GCE something with the number 4....

MOE AND GCE IS WHAT? MAY YOU TELL ME?

MOE is Malaysian Ministry of Education.

GCE is UK board which stands General Certificate of Education.

Actually no, GCE is a type of qualification, very old indeed. You have GCE O-level and GCE A-level. You can still get GCE qualifications in singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, Sri Lanka. GCE O-level is obsolete in the UK, GCSE replaces the O-level.

There are currently 5 boards in the UK which offers GCEs. Edexcel, AQA, OCR, WJEC and CCEA.

I just know it! Are u sure? Then STPM is better in any terms already.

Btw, can anyone provide me a career test? I'm not sure which to choose between physic and biology.....

I have a question here...What is the minimum requirement to enter Form 6 ?

If Im not mistaken, Credit for BM is a MUST, and 3 best subjects not over 8.

Hey .. My sis is interested in Chemistry and Biology .... sth to do with research .....
What field is recommended ?

Anyone?

Hi, everyone, i want to ask a question here, what are all the IPTA, IPTS, UTD and etc that u guys talking about? What are them? Pre-U courses?

Btw, is STPM a bad choice/last choice for Pre-U? From what i see is that many try not to land on form 6 for Pre-U, why?

And also, matriculation is now 2 years? Anyone can confirm?

Thanks for help.

Hey guys...

The GCE-O is actually not for showcase purposes only geh... It might come in useful later... So remember to take the GCE-O cert when it is available in your school...

So, how does this GCE-O useful?
It is usefull if your grades are between 1-4. In the future, you might be enrolling into universities, colleges, or other courses that requires English qualification from either IELTS or TOEFL depending on your choice. However, there are some institutions that accepts your GCE-O as an English qualification certificate (if your grades are between 1-4). So, remember to take the cert when it is available in case you need it. IELTS and TOEFL is not a cheap test. An example, Nottingham University accepts the GCE-O as a recognized qualification. I am not sure if they change their policy, but they used to accept it.


@Dr@gon
Heya!
IPTA = Institut Pengajian Tinggi Awam (Local Uni)
IPTS = Institut Pengajian Tinggi Swasta (Private Uni)
UTD = I dont know... haha

STPM is not a bad choice. It is the cheapest way (but most likely the longest) to obtain a degree from a local university. Well, there are many reasons why many prefer not to land in F6. Another 2 years of school life ... Requires a long time to get a degree ... Discipline teacher ... LOL

As far as I know, the GCE-O that the universities are talking about is the GCE O-levels/GCSE english. Ours is SPM, not GCE O. If you want the real one, try taking Singapore O-levels and you will see the big difference.

Just get this from the matric official web site.

Does this means the 2 years programme is only for those apply after 15 Mei 2006 and those make rayuan?

So u just tell me the full name of IPTA? Mind to tell me more? Please?

Not only form 6 has another 2 years of school life what? If go for diploma then got 3 years? No? Or my concept is wrong? Only matric is the fastest but only til this year.

Oh ya, i just remember something about the IPTA. I have paid to get a resit/pin code at school so that i can fill up the form online but i'm not at school when my teachers give the resit...... Wat is IPTA? Local Uni? All Local Uni belong to IPTA??

Edit:
Ok, I have checked about the IPTA, although i don't really know what is it but i think it offers Pre-U courses, right? So i want to apply for it and I have to go to a BSN and buy the resit again. The deadline is 24 March 2006 right? But i can't connect to the "permohonan" part, it says server error. Does this means they don't accept any application anymore? I hope not...

IPTA is those institution that are not privatised.
Few good example, UM, USM,UUM, UKM, Kolej Komuniti..

IPTS are those higher institution that you pay large sum of money for the course.
MMU,Uniten,UTP, Sunway, Monash..

You need to get the pin, or else you won't be available to enter the form online. That is for verification purpose. Try go to your office and ask for it.

Seems i edit after u reply, can u answer this part too? Thanks.
