UTAR =/= KTAR. Learn the difference.
I have to agree that the level of English proficiency here in UTAR is downright terrible.
I disagree with the fact that the examination here is easy though. Tips are non-existent unlike some of the other private universities. There is no such thing as a study break either. It's 15 weeks of lecture, tutorials and practicals followed by finals without any breaks.
Keep in mind that I'm only speaking for those who aims to score. Passing is fairly easy here in UTAR, but scoring is a whole different story.
And I think the stress only comes during mid semester when all of the assignments start simultaneously. Did I mention that we cannot resit for an exam? Retaking the whole unit is the only option if you've failed.

I've been exposed to a fair number of tests questions ( and past year finals) by many other private universities with the help of friends, and I have to say, UTAR rides in the top tier in terms of difficulty and complexity. I've used Foundation in Science papers ( and similar subjects from other courses )to compare, so as to be fair.
If you're curious, those universities ( and 1 college ) are Sunway, Monash(MUFY), KTAR, Taylors, UTP, MMU, and INTI.
So it's a bit unfair to judge UTAR without even catching a glimpse of what the top scorers here are going through. Period.

Ain't that too harsh, hirano.
The higher fail rate in UTAR is mostly due to the presence of many students that shouldn't be here in the first place. UTAR accepts any Tom, d*** and Harry.

Yes, studying techniques are important and good grades cannot be justified by merely hard work as opposed to what is taught in SJKC's.
I don't think we study more than other universities though our sem breaks are short. Personally, I think my lecturers don't cover enough to equip us properly for the finals. Touch N Go is the best way I could describe it. That's why students are often in for a surprise during their finals.
For Foundation, we take 5 subjects for 3 trimester. Meaning 15 subjects in a year. As for degree, my course dictates that we take 5-7 subjects during long semesters and 1-4 during short ones.

This. It's not about the tough education. It's about all the people you meet and the experiences you get during the journey. Sadly, UTAR focuses on the former.

It's a nice sentiment but lu ktar ke utar.
