talking abt est... Sigh....

Nope, the standard is not high, but it's stupid. No capital letter, minus mark. No full stop, minus marks. WTF was that?

Bayangkan lah... There is 1 upper 6 in my fren's skul who got a gold medal award for the south pacific region in an english test by university of new south wales. He's among the best speaker n has been an award winning school debater for dunno 6 years i think. N his spm est got only A2. WTF?

Can i go to sub-science with Maths 'A' and Science 'C'?

depands on the skewl gua.... u can try to apply btw....

hi there !
I have 4a 4b for my pmr result.

BM - B
KH - B
Geo - B
BC - B

Maths - A
Science - A
BI - A
Sej - A

so i wonder if i can enter science class ? I heard rumour about only 5a or above can enter science class.

its all school dependent. My school last time must have all A only can enter science stream, first class. After that, if dun have all A, u enter science stream second class, which has accounts also, so its sorta a bit like arts. After that is pure arts class

muahaha it depend on school...... last time i took Acc, Comerce, Ad math, n science.....

If by "high standards" you're referring to the minimum score of 85 and above for an A1, then I guess that's something to grumble about. But the again, Modern Maths requires the same score for an A1, and I don't see many complaints about that.

But EST is all about answering with the right techniques, which many students and teachers are ill-equipped in, considering it's a relatively new subject. Just because you have the content and points nailed down correctly, doesn't mean it'll get you marks.

And yeah, like another user mentioned, it has a very fussy marking scheme, cutting marks and disregarding your answers here and there, which I don't think I will delve further into.

With bad results, you probably wont get into pure science stream but you can appeal for the pure science stream in the first few weeks of school. Usually, they do have spaces in the pure science classes because of the students going for the 'sekolah berasrama penuh'. With that in mind, you probably should appeal to enter into the pure science classes if you really want to but sub-science should be okay as well(biology replaced by accounts).

yay I got straight A's(7) in my PMR 2004

my friend got all c in his subject but 1 A in his science still can got into science stream...lol. and of course his results from that class is not good.

Seriously...its all up to your school.
During my time,a lot of students got straight As for PMR ,so,they didn stream the students...instead they let the students decide..if those want to be in Pure Sci,they'll get it.But of course,the teacher will look at their results whether they are qualified or not.
So,in the end,there were 5 best classes,those top students from Form 3 were each put in those 5 classes.So,to be the best of the best ,we have to compete among these 5 classes

But to be in Science stream...students should at least get A for Maths and/or Science.Shouldn get C or below for any subjects.

Bachelor Of Technology (Computer system and engineering).

Kinda challenging i must say. It's mostly programming and network management, transmission. We also get to learn those CISCO thingy. So if you don't like programming, stay away from it

I only get 7A or my pmr.......2006 pmr student here.....

wow thats good...sure can get thru to science school

7A good enough already la unless you took 8 subjects..i only took 7..nyahaha

Whoa, you guys quite good eh. I only managed to get 6As in PMR 1997. Not many people get straight As during my time. Congrats to all and study harder for SPM

I get 8 subject but i get B for my chinese.....lolz

I think there's not much constructive input going on here, so thread is close to avoid further spamming. Congrats to all who obtained good results, and good luck to your future undertakings in form 4.
