Form 6- Where poor students who couldn't afford A-levels take this. Some takes up as a challenge. People said that F6 is wasting time because the duration a little longer than A-level and there's no guarantee you can succeed. Form 6 is a very hard exam and if you are success, you can use it to apply overseas.

Matriculation is one year program. You don't have to waste much time. Hard to get in if you are non-bumi (but it's not impossible).

My friend who got into matrics told me she's fed up when someone always told her "waah matrics easy life lo". Matrics is not hard as A-level or F6 but if you didn't do well in it, you won't get into IPTA either. F6 is a little harder than A-level. Well, the point is doesn't matter which pre-u you going to take, just do well in it.

Just don't lose hope for matrics! If I remember correctly, three of my friends (non-bumi) accepted into matrics.

Form 6's syllabus are much deeper than Matrics's syllabus. Hence the duration of Form 6 much longer than Matrics. People said that when you take Form 6, you will suffered and when you get into university, you will be just fine. Matrics life easy at first but get harder when you enter university.

I would like to think that you study smart in your study so that you didn't lose out to F6 students.

Agent 45, if you don't mind can I know is there's a lot non-bumi students in your batch that time? I think the system is getting not strict now.

In my science stream class, only 1 got 4A but it's 2A 2A-. A few got 2As 2Bs, some only 1A, some all B. The brainy will score straight As while us, the not so Einstein like will score less than that.

Don't be surprise if there's one or two always fail in the exam. Most probably the person has long given up STPM. My friend gave up on that exam on the real exam date itself. She knows she's going to fail so after STPM, she took foundation in science.

Nah, she's female. But the downside about STPM, you can't get the course you want sometimes. The girl couldn't get the course she wants and given unrelated course to her field of study. They gave her physic (mechanical related course), she has no choice so she's now in UTAR doing what she want.

Not only her, a few of my friends got physic courses instead biology courses.
