QUOTE(OptimusMaximus @ Mar 15 2013, 04:28 PM) Yea Jan intake would probably have a lot of competitive students, they wouldn't want a break from studies..or shall I say, kiasu students. Or they just don't want to waste their time. I would have liked to go for March/April intake for A-Levels, but probably wouldn't be wise since it's 15 months and the schedule would be more packed. And I don't understand why July intake would be full of students from international schools? Are they the ones who are taking IGCSE/O-Levels and are one year younger than us? Yup JPA and those who work after SPM would go for July intake..I think what kind of students depends on which college we go to also. The bold is stereotyping at best. The July intake is full or international students because they start their sixth form (A levels) in July! IGCSE and O-level examinations are completed in June and then they proceed to their A levels, IB or whatever.

QUOTE(OptimusMaximus @ Mar 16 2013, 12:45 AM) Relax..did u felt something by what I said in bold?  I know my friend is like that, he told me himself. But in a good way, meaning that he has a goal and ambitions. Anyway,so these international students are a year younger than us, 17 years old, and they complete their O-Levels in June and straight proceed to their pre-u in July? Wow that's fast. Kiasu tends to bring with it negative connotations so understandably I didn't see it fit to brand those who are competitive kiasu! Well, this is what I think anyway. For the record, I myself was a student of the July intake. They are 16 - 17 years old yes.
