QUOTE(p3nguin @ Dec 15 2012, 01:40 AM) Just to add a bit to the discussion here, from my experience, some US universities prefer you to have a Year 12, ie A-Levels or STPM. And depending on the university, you might even be able to transfer credit from your Year 12, which is equivalent to taking AP tests for credits in those courses. In my case, I was basically able to transfer credit for my first year Math, Physics and Chem courses from my A-levels. Though, it is rather subjective, and very much dependent upon the university you're applying to. If you're in no particular rush to head overseas, I would recommend A-levels; it's probably one of the more versatile pre-U courses around. And occasionally, goals change as you go up the education level; taking a pre-U course might allow you extra time to think. They would want K-12 education, which are Year 12 equivalent programs, such as the pre-u as we know them, but not necessarily completing 12 academic years. A-Levels is also accepted, and grants credits equally to the AP, providing opportunities for even advanced standings in US or Canada. But the topic of AP being a viable option is due to its extreme price differences between it and the rest, with STPM excluded.

Although, I don't think I know anyone whom has done AP courses in Malaysia. Could be me just being extremely unobservant though. Just a question out of curiosity, would you happen to know which places offer AP courses for transfer into the states?

The Malaysian-American Council on Education Exchange (MACEE) handles most testing from US, including the AP and SAT.

They are based on the American curriculum and they even offer IB alongside AP too. I am not sure about the admission process for locals though. The thing is with only 4 or 5 subjects at A levels, you can only get a handful of credits out of them.

Like how and what should I do from now ? Can I apply scholarship? Malay one and will I go through like all those people in Malaysia who took like language courses in Japanese or Korean in some university before going there ? Because I know I need to master Japanese first... but yeah I want to migrate to Japan if it's possible out of personal reasons.

Hi guys, I just stumble across an Add-Maths chapter 1 question, and I'm not sure what the question really mean.
Function f(x) = 12/hx+k
x =/= -k/h, f(0)= -3, f(7) = 4
Question b) find the value of x, when f(x)=x
That's the question I'm have problem with, aren't the image x supposed to be altered somehow compared to the object? x after the function is still x?
Thanks.

No point, except if scholarship is in your mind. There will be a gold-coloured PMR slip which will be issued middle next year. That is the real deal.

Thanks. You have to first define what is the constant h and k, probably your question a. You have to understand the question. You need to find a specific value of x that when you insert in the function results in that value as well. This post has been edited by reconnaissance: Dec 17 2012, 03:51 PM

Will try to do it again. edit: Do I have to try every number 1 by 1 for the answer? or is there any other way? This post has been edited by IzeStorm: Dec 17 2012, 03:58 PM
