imho, matriculation like second spm..... as told by me senior

still iving a bit like school,..... if u are excelence, u can apply for local uni... dunnoe bout other U... but if u so-so.. u'll be lelong....
send to unimas, sabah, or other course that's so-so...
u'll hav to strugle a lot... coz all subjects was like been compressed....
then hav to fight among each other.... coz many great student there
my counsellor said.. the diff between matricualtion in every state also like our shool... got better matric, got so-so matric....

so which is the better matriks and which is the so- so matriks??

many people say that matrik johor,melaka are the best.... the so-so i dunnoe, maybe the other matrik.....that's what people say laaa...

i suppose matrics are more or less the same between one another, due to the similar template used in the curriculum. i think what we should be discussing is what makes one place better than the other? i could come up with a few:

i. teachers
ii. environment
iii. facilities
iv. crowd
v. location from other amenities

etc...

it's good if we could point out exactly why one place is better than the other, it'll help others to make out or decide where to go.

oh that's good news to me since i apply for negeri sembilan, johor, and melaka.

kmj got better teacher... facilities are new
kmm too,
matrik kedah, my counselor said got water prob a bit...
matrik pahang/.. a bit jauh nun di hutan
actually kinda forget.. coz told by her long time ago....

lol! that's pretty funny. a bit jauh nun di hutan*.

haha....

well i heard my friend's sis say kmns's facilities are good and the kolej looks quite nice.

kindda.... i'm applying for that too....
but not looking into martik..... maybe wanna go straight to the U..
coz i'm not hard strugle person as in matrik.. we need to strugle a lot
many geniused there...

yes

but the entry requirement is the same as curtin australia

during my time... KPM matric had 4 subjects, compare to now which is only 3 subjects

i did physics, chemistry, math and computer science ..... at KML (kolej matrikulasi labuan) 2001/2002 session.

Did you correspond directly with Curtin Perth regarding the recognition of matriculation?

Good, I'm from Melaka and the johor's one is not so far from my place.

I apply for Melaka, Johor, and N.Sembilan.

yup, but anywhere also need to work hard to get good results lol... be it matriks or stpm or A levels... so gambate! let's work hard together!

never bothered to.... wasting time

curtin sarawak and curtin perth... both are just the same because curtin sarawak is also an international campus, not just normal franchise.

you should, they did not indicate any thing about Malaysian matriculation. So it i very likely that it is not recognised.

You should not assume that what applies in Sarawak applies to Perth too, you should be aware of that. Monash Melbourne and Monash Malaysia are different.

my friend did it this way....

he was from matriculation. the 1st semester of 1st year he studied locally.... then the 2nd semester he applied for a transfer to perth....

walla.....

It doesn't mean that they accept matriculation either.

your friend went to Perth with his 1st semester credits, not with his matriculation.

If he went there straight after matricalation, then there is something to talk about.

Whatever the case, it is very unlikely to use matriculation to enter a competitive foreign university.

I dunno what you're trying to prove by arguing with my points here, but earlier I mentioned that international university might accept matriculation result.

Monash, Curtin, Swinburne.... these are international universities eventhough they are situated locally. I did not mention anything about foreign universities.

... until you drag to Curtin Perth or whatsoever.

To find your answer, I suggest that you make the enquiries yourself.

just to be certain whether matriculation can be used to enroll one into a course in a foreign university.

The findings is that it's possible to use it so long as the institutions are within Malaysia but the same cannot be said for institutions outside Malaysia.

Erm... matriculation only has 3 subjects? What are them? (Science stream.)
I failed to google it out.

Bio, Chem and Maths?
or Chem, Phy and Maths?
Many would do Chemistry and Mathematics for science stream..
You have options to choose either physics or biology.. if you interested towards Medicine or Pharmacy, then take Bio.. else if you want to go towards IT or Engineering, take Physics
