I admit, I'm impressed that you guys are starting preparations for SPM so early. Haha when I took SPM a couple of years back I didn't think about it until about a month before the actual papers.

Though, if anyone needs any help, I'll try to help whenever I can. My knowledge of certain disciplines might have deteriorated a lot over time though.

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.

Well that's very fair point. 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?

nah you don't. after equating x to the function, just manipulate the equation to get your values of x. Just to clarify, in this case:

12/(hx+k) = x
12 = x*(hx+k)


And then you do whatever's necessary to find x
