I don't really want to go for STPM as I am aiming to achieve GPA of 4.0. And I feel like A level is well recognised by overseas universities like those in UK and US. while for STPM we need to do more things in order to apply for those uni.. Correct me if I'm wrong. Not to say I want to go overseas, I know that local uni provide a good environment to study too. But I really hope that i can enter to those top ranked uni. Classes duration doesnt really matter as I plan to stay in hostel.
A level, either that offered by Cambridge or Edexcel, is an examination set in the UK. So, without doubt, it's acceptable in the UK. And AFAIK, STPM is recognised as equivalent to A level, or in rare cases, superior to that. I would say that Singapore A level, which is administered by Singapore-Cambridge together, is on par with STPM.STPM can get you to everywhere that A level can. Some US universities don't recognise STPM, however they too don't recognise A level. I don't see any difference in terms of recognition between STPM and A level.
Btw, STPM standard is monitored by the Cambridge, it is definitely a well-recognised qualification.
My advice is to get STPM, if you really don't like Pengajian Am, then go for A level.
If you plan to study in Singapore, please consider STPM, it really helps in the selection process.
PS: 4.0 in STPM is hard, but I don't think that 4.0(or 4A*) in A level is easy too.
