Hi, I'm new here in this forum

I recently finished my SPM (thank god) and plan to go Form 6 for the "challenge"... So I was wondering which school has the best reputation for Form 6 (I know the fact the government decides where a person goes).

Some of my friends say colleges (like T.A.R.) provides Form 6 and is better(in term of teaching method, curricular etc) and more "fun" but the fact it'll cost more.

So, if the money factor is taken out of question, which school/college has better reputation for Form 6 in KL?

wat about KTJ -> Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar?
http://www.ktj.edu.my/

Yeah I've read about that but it's in N9. I prefer somewhere in KL or Selangor at most... Thanks anyway

KTJ, damn expensive. But is a very famous and quality school.

in Perak Sek Men King EDward vii is 1 of famos school offer fom 6...

they say MBS not bad for teaching blind loyalty to the school and extremy nerdiness of gigantic bookworm proportions

oh oh, and they have an IT brigade! special task force to assist in all tech stuff in the school. you get to wear grey pants

STPM at KTJ? Since when?

MBS is the best scorer for STPM leh.. .but the rules there sucks.. unacceptable.. im ex-MBSian.. haihz..

I have only one thing to say...
a good student can graduate from the worse school.....

other than that, ask from seniors who have studied in that particular school and seek their testimonies.

Form 6?...well,go to Seafield,Subang. Its cheap

I can say the teachers are good

Yes I agree... But I totally think a teacher's guidance is also important... We don't want them t exactly spoon feed us with knowledge but at least share a piece of their brain with the students

I'm a student in SMKKB and I'll most probably end up being there either and my seniors are like "pros" and they reckon my school's Form 6 is ranged acceptable only...

For form 6, if you really study hard, then it doesn't matter what school you go to.

Hv u checked out SMK Seafield,Subang Jaya..?
Better register early if ur interested..!

ya... if u got a better guidance from teacher wil make ur study simple n easier to score..

i wud say...if ur willing to study abroad...

then i wud recommend u 2 take form 6 in SMK SAM TET, ipoh...

it's very famous for excellent form 6th results.....sam tet had produced many brilliant form 6 students since decades....

there are also many dedicated teachers hu r willing 2 spend extra time n efforts to students......students there are more competitive....

P/s: IMO.....studyin anywher is d same...if u hv d right attitude....u wud still be successful....

all d best to ur SPM.....

Why? Any relationship between them?

go VI la..its in KL wht..

Heh, I'm looking for a school with good reputation for Form 6 'around KL'. Joel's term for study abroad would be me finding school outside KL

You're going to form 6 for the challenge ?
Becareful of what you wish for...

Going to TARC because its more "fun" lolx. This is STPM/form 6 not A levels or random diploma courses.

The school itself doesn't really play much of an important role unless the teachers you get are really hopeless. Either way, there's always tuitions. As far good schools and colleges, I second MBS.


As a lower 6 / upper 6 student for 2006/2007 from SMKKB , I forewarn you not to take STPM too lightly.

ya.. MBS.. lolz.. STPM is quite hard.. might be the second hardest exam in the world.. haha..

u might consider catholic high school , i am from northern ... but i used to try out catholic punya Qs , they are indeed very high standard .

but , for form6 , it all depends on yourself . must be determinded . you mihgt not enter university on the cousse u liked . but if u can go for the colleges skip foundation year for about 15-17K . whcih is alot .

always remember this thing , in education , there is no waste on stuff u learnt .

enjoy ur study at form6 . and dont waste ur 1st lower six ...

btw , northern schools , penang and kedah , those chinese based smk are good . such as chung ling , jit sin ... keat hwa ... i am from keat hwa , but i am not on the good student list . but i learnt alot from them ... kekeke.

bridgestoneRE711,u r from keat hwa,kedah?.form 6?...which class?
by any chance do u knw tan shi min?

@LegendLee
Thanks for advice... I may have toyed for 5 years in secondary school but no more "play play"... Ha ha

About TARc, my friend say there's more freedom there as the rules are not too harsh and you'll get to feel the college life although you're actually there for Form 6. I've never been to TARc before (not even their open day) so I don't know how if the stories are true.

@BridgestoneRE711
Yea I know... The reason I going for form 6 is not for the chance to go local U anyway. My dad told me if they didn't offer me the course I want I can go anywhere I like




Cheers on New Year's Eve

You have forgotten that you can only do so if your result permits you to do so.

Cs and Ds won't bring you anywhere that you want.

Hmp... I don't plan to have Cs and Ds in my result slip... lol... Either way, go with the flow~

Unexpected things can happen in STPM.

What course are you thinking of?

This may come as a shock but I'd recommend maxwell school for STPM if you intend to look for a school in or around KL. They may not have much of a reputation for SPM and below level, but the standards for STPM is pretty high. It's relatively easy to get into STPM there as there is no control imposed by the Ministry.

On the issue of KTJ - it doesn't offer STPM/ Form 6. It only offers up to Form 5, and thereafter A-Level studies.

have u guys heard of Sultan Abdul Samad school? its in PJ area, somewhere near the roundabout when u are on the way to Malaya University. My sister grad from there and she says there is a very good physics teacher in that school.

try St. John's... It has a long history but i'm not sure about the teaching staff nowadays. Anywayz, IF u wanna do well in F6, the key is perseverence n hardwork. I've seen many-a-friend have their studies go wayward due to the simple fact that they're close to home and there r too many distractions.

Can't really blame them... Lucky (or unlucky, whichever way u look at) for me, i went to Kedah for matriculation all the way in Changlun (7 km from thailand ). Absolutely nothing there save for my books... Boring eh?!?!

My teacher is claiming us to pay rm200 for the stpm fee. I though start from 2007 no more exam fee?

Do u all know when is the intake for MBS's form 6?
Is it all the school which offer form 6 start the class at the same time?
Getting confuse...
I heard some of them study form 6 starting from this month (April).

I don't really recommend MBS. Things have changed there. The Admins are screwing it up.

lol..i am last year spm grad from mbs..wat u mean the admin are screwing it up? care to explaing? well..mbs is stil a good skul for form 6..

even a nelayan school in kelantan can produce students with strings of A's

go TAR if u want a better environment...1 question for TS, have u visit all of the schools that offer form 6? sometimes it's not the education system, but the environment that affects ur studies

yes, agree, just go to the nearest school to study form 6..
no need go far far to study in the best school, maybe you will face more stress in the best school because of the competition is too hard..

that is why some ppl dun wan to go TARC....mostly all chinese there..so ppl there r more kiasu n they dun have a life besides study...this is what some of the ppl told me...

pay a visit to MBS, Cochrane, VI...it might help u decide

Then you should know me very well. I deal with the admins.

lol...care to hint who r u?mayb i wil know u...

hi there, i'm selling form 6 books. do check out my thread

I think I did place the obvious hint to it.

Meanwhile, if you can't resist the force of MBS, it's ok. But I just don't quite recommend it; not anymore.

can i ask are you a teacher or a student? hehe..

hi, i'm from mbs too, 6 former.. The teachers all very dedicated.. but at the end of the day.. it all depends on own hardwork

I was from SMK SS17. Most of the teachers there are amazing, their dedication unmatched so far to me

Particularly: Maths S & T, Chemistry, Accounts, Economics.

I have personally seen these teachers give extra classes, miss recess breaks to teach finish the lesson, clarify questions and get you reference on the next class, borrow books in the school library for you for reference, mark any extra paper you pass to them, (well, if you have already finished the mountain load of work they gave you xD which is enough to get A) They are all also very nice people

However downside is a not-so active student environment xD maybe you get more time to study haha

SMK SS17 also produced one of the highest amount of straight A scorers 2 years ago (my senior's batch ) in Malaysia

Another more reputable school is SMK Seafield. I wanted to appeal to go there initially but in the end i thought 17 was okay and also i visited their school once before form 6 started and one of their teachers were extremely rude and sarcastic to me....so that sort of put me off (I took English Lit tuition though from one of their English teachers )

Both schools in Subang

I'm neither. Perhaps technically a student. But I answer directly to the Headmaster only.


I'll doubt that. The one that still has full respect from me perhaps is Mrs. Lim.

its just my personal opinion.. btw who is Mrs. Lim?

Try Sek Men Aminudin Baki ( SAB )

Mrs. Lim Hean Hwa

MBS might have lost many good teachers, but there are still some left.

I would say self-study is the best. Teachers are there just to guide you and not to spoon-feed you. Doesn't mean that if you go to a best school, you'll be guaranteed good results.

How boring...
I hv to say study is not everything
Experince in life is also important

Added on April 8, 2009, 3:32 pmIs there any website where i can find all the details for schools which offer form 6 in KL?
I hv no idea for it.

Still, i wan to know when is the school re-open for mbs's form 6

There are quite a number of schools that offer Form Six, how many subjects are you planning to take?

It's in the middle of May, you wuld have to go to the school for registration. This applies to every school that offers Form 6.

chean in da forum also? cool! Ex mbs-ian here! Here to testify that mbs has a lot of good teachers BUT they are all leaving one by one.... And God knows why... Its also quite true that the admins are screwing it up... BUT it all voice down how much effor you put in the end... So dont expect the teachers to spoon feed you all the time... MBS is the place to be... =D

Hello Jason! *waves* Haha.

hey chean! *waves* back... LOL...

True! Study is not everything.


MBS is a decent school.

Long live MBS!! Your signature is also found in the Bible... Do unto others what you want others to do unto you... xD

Victoria Institute. Heard my friend say there quite good.

Hmm, honestly, VI's standard has dropped already. But, it's your choice.

I heard VI is for ppl who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth... Don't really have solid evidence though....

ya...agree wif weanchean..VI standard has dropped throughout these years....would suggest MBS....btw i am an ex-mbsian...mbs is stil a good skul for form 6...but dun expect everything spoon feed lo...cheers..

LOL... This place let MBS own liao... xD

lol...not own la...just telling others tat mbs is still a good school for form 6..jay..cheers

Haha, but going to the best schools won't guarantee excellent results unless you yourself work hard for it.

agreed....no point going into the best schools if u yourself dun work hard to achieve what u want..XD

Duh... It is always the effort we put in....

I don't think it makes a difference whether you go to the best school or not.. For form 6 it comes down to hard work, determination and some luck + logical thinking.. Plus also it is determined by the teachers who are teaching you, some of the best teachers teaches in not so best schools, so that's what u should be looking for in my opinion..

Off the record, I studied my STPM in St. Paul's Institution, Seremban.. Been a true Paulian and La Sallian in my 11 years of studying and probably the best school I've ever been, not because it's top but because the memories I have there..

I wanna ask whether does SMK seafield offer the physics, bio, chem and maths package? I mean i want to take all that four subjects. is it possible in smk seafield?

SJI? =X

Yes, you can if you signed up for those subjects.

ermm..SJI,catholic high skul and smk seafield..
u guys think which is better ya?

I would say Catholic High School!

Is gov stpm skul gud?

If I want to go to Matrikulasi but I am waiting for their reply (rayuan) now, can I register with form 6 first? Are they going to cancel my matrikulasi place if I register form 6?

SMK HULU KELANG IS THE BEST!!..
there are only a few of student..
so the teachers can focus on u..


cikgu sadiah = guru cemerlang pengajian am
mr.tiew = guru cemerlang history. (2008,got 100% for history)
cikgu syam = munsyi dewan (very2 good teacher)
and some more..

title 'guru cemerlang' is national award for teacher in malaysia..

that is the quality of the teachers there..

p/s : my time only got 5 students in my class...haha

It depends on which school you go to.

Added on May 10, 2009, 11:36 pmYes, you can do that. That was what my friend did two years ago. And she got her appeal approved. She didn't come back for Form Six after the school holidays.
