I have signed up for MCKL A Level March intake. But after two orientation days,I decided to differ to July intakes because the schedule is too hectic.I also don't think rushing and get bad results is a good choice(since march is express and I'm afraid that I might not do it well). I've checked on last year alevel july intake (2014) timetable,CIE exams are in 2015 May and October. The gap between the two exams is quite near,will it cause any problems like too stress? Cause I might want to prepare my self for it.

Your reply is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you take the 1 1/2 yr programme starting July, you will end and get your results out of sync with uk uni schedule....

I'm planning to continue my studies in Singapore or local.

it will still be out of sync with spore, but may be okay with some local courses....

Ooohh...okay I will take note of that. Thanks

Is MCKL good? I'm considering going there for July intake 2015 too! Any good/bad comments on this college?

I went there for two days and I personally think it is a good place to study. I have a friend who went for January intake and she's doing well too but now I'm thinking July intake is a good choice or not

I think that the July intake would definitely be a better choice imo. This is because you'll start everything from scratch and you won't be lagging behind especially if you're taking new subjects that you have never studied before in secondary school! And since you're concerned about doing well, my advise is to opt for july intake!

But wouldn't you get a gap-year?

kenapa you nak pergi singapore untuk pelajaran? malaysia schools not good enough for you?

As a 1507 student, for UK and US Unis you would usually apply in Sept-Dec 2016 (using forecast), and finish your course by December 2016. Then, you would attend Uni on the following year, around August 2017. Hence you would have a gap of 8-10 months, unless you go for local private Unis and all. Other countries like Aus and New Zealand also have different intake times like March, April, etc.

March intake is crazily hectic, for those gungho fast learners who can cope with the pace and want to catch up with the January peers!

The 4-month exams gap between May and October is not too bad compared to the March schedule hahaha. Just don't wait till the last minute to prepare for everyyy single subject! Keep up with MCKL, who gives you weekly tests (maybe), qualifying tests and trial exams to get ready for the final external exams.

What's your definition of "good"? Academic quality? Value for money? Lecturers? Environment?

I registered for March Intake and I received the letter around a month before the orientation which was held at 9th and 10 of March. Anyway, I had postponed it to July Intake.

Don't get the wrong idea, I would like to further my studies in Malaysia if I happen to find a great university here for the course I want

And if I get a chance to further my studies in Singapore or any other countries,I will also consider about it too.

I'm glad to hear that Thanks for your advise!

I am going to MCKL on July intake too. The offer letter will be sent to you between mid of April to May!

A levels ?

Are there any parking spaces and we need to pay for that ?

yes!

Hi jjaejjae,what subjects are you intended to take?

The subjects I took when I registered were Business Studies, Economics, Accounting, and Mathematics. But recently I change them to Mathematics, Economics, Accounting and Chemistry.

Sorry for the late reply. I did not ask about parking spaces because I am going there by monorail. There are some parking spaces located outside the college,like 20+?

There are parking spaces just outside the MCKL compound which are free but limited! However, you'll have to fight with the monorail people who park there. There are parking spaces in the MCKL compound too, but you'll have to pay a monthly fee unless you register as a visitor everyday.

can someone tell me how is mckl study environment?
is it good or bad to study A level there?

Probably going to MCKL for this July intake. I will go alone without any friends so I would like to make new friends before programme starts (PM me) . I will be taking Chemistry, Physics, Maths, (FM or Econ). Btw, any northen people (Penang, kedah) going there?

MCKL is not a big campus like Sunway,I think it is more like a secondary school,but the study environment is fine (for me) and I can't judge it is good or bad to study there,it's all depends on you. Why don't you visit mckl?

Hey there I'm from KL and I will be in pure art stream because I'm taking up acc,econ,maths and business studies.

I'm also going on July intake taking accounting, economics, math and chemistry.

Hi there, I'm also going on July intake!

Hi . Nice to meet ya

Hi see you there soon

Hi there.Most probably I'll be joining the July intake A-levels programme as well. hope to see you guys there soon. Any recommendations on which society to join?

What are your interests and passions?

I'm interested in martial arts but I tried searching and realized there isn't a martial arts club in mckl. So I'm currently considering Leo club or rotaract. Any suggestions are highly appreciated though

Is it hard to maintain the cgpa in MCKL in order to secure the merit scholarship ? I am clueless about that ...

Ahhh there used to be. Leo and Rotaract are good, active clubs especially Leo! I can't remember all the clubs to suggest, but in your first few weeks there'd be an event called All Clubs Day, for students to check out all the clubs. Don't miss it!

Also, if you plan to join the ranks and serve in a club, do stay with it for at least 2 Sems heh.

Ohhh, I see. Thank you so much for the heads up. Really appreciate it

Oh .so how much is the registration fees for parking ? Thanks

Oh I see ! Thanks for the kind information. By any chance, do you take pure science subjects in alevel ?

Nope I'm taking pure art subjects (Accounting,Econs,Maths,Business Studies)

Hey! I was a former student of MCKL and I'd really recommend it lah The environment is a very healthy and vibrant one! Lots of fun activities and I made lots of amazing friends! It's not perfect but the good really outweigh the bad.

If it's not too late for you, I'd really really recommend you come!

It is rather hard to maintain. But then again that depends on which merit scholarship you hold lah. As for me, I managed to survive a CGPA of 3.2 even with grades like 2 As, a B and a D .

It is possible. Just be consistent
