ok so after spm results were out, i applied for jpa and i got it. they offered me a scholarship to do my alevels in kbu and then after that for a place in a german technical school.

many of my friends who got petronas or jpa were offered scholarships for both. as far as i know, both scholarship giving bodies do not just offer you a scholarship for pre u alone.

Sorry for bumping in and talk about STPM...(almost like Alevels what, PreU studies too)..

Anyone from TARC.... I heard TARC STPM is not accepted by all local U cause they only accept gov. school STPM..can anyone clarify this?

Sorry for asking this again in this thread... I suppose this is the right place to ask...

Anyway.. what's the difference between Alevels and STPM? Does Alevel got more subjects?

TARC STPM course.. is it expensive? or is it cheaper than Alevel?

STPM is STPM, not distinction no matter where you did it.

A-levels as far as i know has a greater number of subjects to choose from, but we only see the common ones here because not many people would study ICT, performing arts, music, psychology, government and politics etc....

STPM is free, it is unnecessary to pay to do form 6.

If you want the figures, check out TARC's website, thats the least you can do.

A friend of my relative said that TARC STPM is not acceptable(or hardly acceptable) by local U and I have to continue my studies in UTAR only if I want because there's no where to go.

From what I heard.... local U don't accept TARC STPM....is because of some...no offend, but it's something likely related to the politic of M'sia...

Anyone from TARC can you confirm this?? PLS thank you.

did TARC write their own STPM questions?

if it's the same STPM as the others, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why they cannot accept the certificate. as far as I'm concerned, u can take STPM without attending a single class, eg homeschooling, repeat students etc.

I've got a question between S.A.M and 'A' Levels
A lot people enter SAM right ? Means need better results to enter university compared with A-level ? And i heard that SAM is easier than A-level and less pressure ...

And can we use SAM to enter UK university ? Is it really worldwide recognized ? What if after i done my SAM and wish to pursue my studies in MedicaL or LAW . Is it possible ?

A-level or SAM need more effort to pass everything and move on to tertiary studies ??

Can anyone briefly explain what's the courseworks for SAM ??

Hope someone will answer some of my question. Thanks .

from what i know
SAM is only applicable in Australia and Alevels is in UK, SAT would be US

those are preU exams u need to qualify into their country university

my 2 cents

You are required to labour for both courses, the only difference is the method of labouring.

However, It is much easier to maintain grades of AAA than to consistently maintain a grade point of 99.0 and above for your TER.

Yes, you can use SAM to enter british universities, however you may need to contact the respective admission tutors to see what are their specific requirements from applicants with SAM.

I do not recommend SAM if you want to do medicine in the UK, it is nearly impossible to get in with SAM. Medical places in the UK have quotas for international students, so students who apply for medicine are usually the best in their classes. Besides, top british law and medical schools are very traditional, emphasis is still very much on examinations.

No, there isn't any sort of binding in anyway.

You can use SAM to get into the UK and vice versa. However, the proportion of people doing so are much lower than the proportion of people going into australian universities with A-levels.

Unlike SAM and ALevels, SAT is not usually taken as a course. It is just an exam to test your knowledge, it's like an standardized entrance exam since the US does not have a standard curriculum for the whole country.

In fact, some US universities do not require the SAT either. Many US universities also accept A-Levels and the IB for placement or credit transfer purposes.

Go for STPM If you are A's student. Nowaday its quite easy to go into Local Univeristy with STPM.

Sim (2) asked me about this question and I can't really help as I'm not familar with A - Level and programming courses ...

It is ok....

i'm interested in doing pharmacy and i plan to study A-Level for my pre-U at Taylor's if i'm able to secure a scholarship...

the prob, i might not be able to apply any scholarships or attend those interviews as i might be in NS in that period of time (Mac-May), so is it possible for me to send a letter to JPA/others and ask for the application forms? Will they entertain me? Do i need to enclose my trial results or WANG POS (as i heard that we need to pay for the form)?

thanks in advance!
