Hello guys, I will take STPM 2014/2015.I made the decision to study Form Six as it is very cheap compare to any other pre-u and it provides wider range of choices after finishing it.

However, may I know is Stpm have the high chances to get accepted into top uni in US and SG?

As I know,SAT is needed to go to US uni, but since I am taking STPM ,can I take the SAT or should I say do  I have the time to take SAT?

I know STPM need to study really hard . Since then, can I still participate in extra cocuriculum activities? I do not want to lose my life T_T  ( AND CCC is also important to get in the uni in US right?)

Thanks in advance smile.gif

Well I scored four flat in stpm last year and have accepted by NUS and NTU in sg as well as unis in UK. It is quite easy to got accepted by NTU as long as you can score 3.92. For the co-curriculum part, you should choose wisely, join those clubs or activities or competitions at international or national level and try to avoid some activities at school level only, unless you feel that it wont affect your study and you really enjoy it then go ahead thumbup.gif As now stpm has changed to new modular system in which you have to sit for the real exam for about every five months (deduct holidays), there will not have sufficient time for you to active in school co-curricular activities, well I couldn't make it, if you think you are capable then no problem biggrin.gif

Can you give suggestions of international and national competitions that F6 students can join? So far, I'm only active at school level.

Actually it depends on what is your strength. If you good at math, you can go take part in math olympiad competitions. If good at sports go for state competition first and if you win it you can go to national level. There are many competition s at state level just have to ask your co-curriculum teachers or your form six friends in other schools or even internet and newspapers.

Just asking, so you study in NTU under any scholarship or self-sponsored? If under scholarship, which one isit? Thanks in advance!  smile.gif

I am going to study in NTU this august if I got any scholarship. So far haven't get any news yet from the scholarship i applied. Most of them are provided by sg like Singapore scholarship, ASEAN and so on.

Could you give a few examples? I'm not really sure what kind of competitions are they.
BTW, did u get any scholarship(s) so far?

Congratz for getting 4.0 anyway.

Thanks, so far only shortlisted for several scholarship agencies for interview. Hmm if sports then there are many basketball, badminton, football at state level organized only for form six ( almost every year there is ), if you are a physics student you may go and participate in some competitions related to your study like robotics competition. Anyway you have to let me know which field you are strong in only i could help you. blush.gif

Last year?That means you are also under the new modular system?Congratulations for the flying colours! Are you science stream(bio/physics)? wow!four flats,that means you need to excel since sem 1 right? (I do not know I can do that or not cry.gif )BTW, may I know do you retake any sem? My teachers do not encourage us to retake.As you have been accepted to NUS and NTU, may I know do these unis look on to your extra cocurriculum activities?

yes I am one of the guinea pig of the new modular system, thanks man! I am from physics stream, I did quite bad in sem one, better in sem two and finally four flat in sem 3 biggrin.gif I retake sem one and two. On the contrary, my school teachers encouraged us to retake and I do will encourage you to retake even you got A- in any subject. I have one friend managed to score 3.92 in sem 1, four flat in sem 2 and 3 and yet overall can only get 3.92. So it is a smart choice to retake. Hmm I am not sure whether they really look on my co-curriculum activities or not, but so far all my friends who scored 3.92 and above got the offer from NTU, NUS would be harder and i guess they really look at the co-curriculum activity.
