I just received my result recently which was on Thursday and I did pretty bad on it and I need your opinion. I'm going to briefly introduce about me more so you can get an idea, I only went to high school in Malaysia for only 2 years which was in form 4 & 5 and I lived in America for about 5 years since i was in 5th grade and until form 3.To make the story short, the principal told me to decide on whether to get into science stream or science technical. Stupid me, picked science stream and got into a mess for 2 years. I go to normal public school, since private is quite expensive and I have a big family. Well my science subjects were pretty well in form 4, not that bad. I got a C once in biology which was quite an achievement for me in form 4. My chemistry grades were fine in form 4, I didn't fail at all in form 4 which was a good thing. My bahasa was not that good like i always get E/G, others was pretty fine. Like my sejarah was an A- when i first attend that school and midyear i got a c then at the end of the year I got a B. Like i never failed my sejarah and only get As,Bs, and Cs until form 5. My math was pretty bad since its totally different over there but in the end I got a C+ which i thought i was going to fail. Let me get into the point, in form 5 half of the subjects i got good grades and the other half not so well. In form 5 I got a new teacher in chemistry, I was fine with her but I started to fail in her class. Well you could say that I did not like her at first because she always says my name when i failed at her class and she always categorizes the good and the bad. Basically means, that theres the kings, commoners and peasants. we're all good now thou, but that's the time when i start on not having an interest in chemistry. I failed on my physics and biology a lot in form 5. I think the problem with the science subjects is because of the language. Like my teachers teaches in malay and not english. There was one teacher that sometimes helps me and teaches me in english which was my chemistry teacher when i was in form 4. I answered my SPM exams in english since my bahasa selalu ayat terbalik.

So this is my SPM results:
English-A
Sejarah- C+
Pendidikan islam - B
Math-C+
Bahasa Melayu-B+ ( my teacher was quite shocked seeing this because I always gets E/G in form 4 and form 5 I always get B/C. Mostly of the time cikgu bagi markah free because she knows that i'm not that good at malay)
Chemistry- E
Biology-D
Physics-D
Add math-E ( I thought I failed this subject, but to my suprise I didn't)


I don't know what to do in the future since my grades are like this. I want to go to matrics but I dont think i can get in with that kind of result and i would probably struggle but since matrics uses english that kept me thinking that I should've worked extra hard. I'm applying for TESL and and some other course like pentadbiran awam and so on but I think I like science more. I'm confused right now on which path i should go. I'm worried that I would not get the interview because of my spm results. What should I do? and no I'm not interested in perhotelan media and stuff. Should I go to form 6 if i get it? but i heard form 6 is harder. I'm in a big slump right now and private universities needs a lot of money which I dont want to spend on. Can u guys help me, on what course i should apply for?

If the cause of your failures were truly due to language issues, you can attempt A-levels. Everything's in English there, from science, laws, economics & maths. If you still fail your A-levels, well......you're probably not good with studying.

apply to teach Science in English. problem solved.
