Now that isn't entirely true. I got C3 for my bio and ended up getting an A for STPM.

Everything requires hardwork, just keep your goals in mind and spend the rest of your form 6 years wisely, though even that doesn't gaurantee you a place in the course you desire to pursue in.

I have to agree though that STPM isn't easy. I wouldn't dare say it's easy to fail, I would say that getting that A requires alot of effort and sacrifices on your part.

My advice, if you're willing to risk 1.5 years for a place in a local U and that you're really willing to study, take the risk. Otherwise, don't.

I don't know if it's true, but I'm told that A-levels is a little easier than STPM but effort still matters nonetheless.

Lastly.. try to explore your options. Don't ever restrict yourself to Med or other popular courses.
