Brush up on your english. Learn to speak with confidence. Try giving a speech in front of a mirror. If you manage to without stuttering and reading your script, you'll have no problems.
Btw, how you do during the first two days doesn't matter. Its all to help u gear up for the 3rd day. Interview day.

Lol. As i summarised in my earlier post, you'll have to be the rose amongst the thorns if you want to stand a chance. But this is my advice to all non bumi applicants. If you want overseas scholarship from petronas, forget it. No matter if you were the best guy in the whole interview of 3000 applicants your chances are slimmer than Eva Longoria's waist. Especially if you're applying for med. If you apply for UTP or local tertiary education then your chances would be quite high. Really, your quota is like just a tiny slice of a cake =/

I believe they sponsor med students just enough to supply their company doctors  Petronas is such a huge ass corporation they probably need a few hundred doctors serving all over. Near their oil mines, offshore, in their bases in other countries.

1) They will have a test. I forgot exactly whats the name of the test. Damn it. Its suppose to gauge your standards, see where you stand. There will be an english test, and math test and something like a... thinking test. U know, like KBKK kinda questions. IQ kinda questions.
2) Mixed up
3) No
4) Not that i can remember. No.
5) Yes. Brush up on your english and you'll be the one standing out. I was.
6) Hmm. They will still ask you twice during the educamp. Whether you are EXTREMELY sure you want the course u stated on ur form. If not, they still give u chance to change dont worry ^^ During my educamp (2006) they also had workshops to promote other courses. Whichever lecture theater u go into, they'll try to change your mind into switching to that course. Lol. So make sure u go for the ones that you think you might like. They'll tell u all the pros (not cons) and tell you how your career with that field of study might be like. But not after they've given u the scholarship.
