american syllabus is very different from malaysia's syllabus(britsh) IIRC.

i mean the courses provided. malaysia(all the british commonwealth) focuz on finally exam, and only the final exam counts. for american its every semester counts. its very proggresive. but what u sit for in the 1st semester wont come out in the second semester and so on.

correct me if i'm wrong.

well, you are wrong.

it is obvious that the studying and exam methods are different, but it still requires memorization. although grades are calculated comprehensively, from the start of the sem/quarter to the end of it, the final exam still carry a lot of weight.

and whatever you learn in organic chem I will be needed in organic chem II, III so on and so forth too. there's no such thing as learn and forget.

whatever you took in the previous semester will accumulate. the cumulative graduate point average (CGPA). so if you did very badly for one subject, like  C or D, it will show your in CGPA. unless you retake (remember, it's not resit an exam) that class and score a better grade it will be hard to bring your CGPA up.

if that is not the most obvious statement, I dont know what it is.

it is called Cumulative GPA for a reason. it is applied in UK and yourhomeland too.. so what gives?

I thought that those Americans don't know what CGPA is. They call it just GPA.

CGPA, probably, is used in Malaysia, correct me if I'm wrong.

Bumping this thread and adding my own question as well smile.gif

What are the reasonably good universities I can transfer to through ADP? I'm thinking of a degree in computer science.If possible give me a  link with university rankings for UNDERGRADUATE cs courses.

Most good universities have a credit transfer limit so the more credits you could transfer, generally, the worse your college is... take my words with a grain of salt tho
