wajib ka IGCSE tu? SPM tak laku ka?

igcse if taken at british council or similar set up will cost about rm700 to 1000 per paper. if taken at some international schools which use igcse syllabus it is around rm450 per paper.

those MRSM with IGCSE also same fees of rm450 per paper due to government to government agreement.

so orang kita or not, anybody can actually go kawtim at any international schools to let your kid become exam candidate there. I know one parent who did that. her son taken igcse tuition from private teachers and then the mother kawtim with g***** international school to take exam there and she paid rm450 per paper.

not all mrsm have igcse. only around 11 or 14 out of all mrsm. fees are not sponsored by gomen. parents have to pay themselves. if cannot then they wont apply to mrsm with igcse.

my eldest also in one mrsm igcse, now form2. i have to pay for checkpoint exam this year (around 600) and when he in form 4, i will have to pay igcse fees as well. we also paid for his external modules/tuition during school breaks, around 700 to 1000 per week/module.

so far this is the tongkatness i utilized. asb not so much cost now no money paying kids schools. house discount didnt't get because my house is not a bumi lot. spm also i paid the fees coz my parents can pay. job also at private company. only my wife work with gomen and the only reason is that her specialty is in emergency and trauma which no private hospital willing to hire, not lucrative at all. otherwise sudah lama she run to private hospital.

What is the advantage of igcse over spm?

My daughter is in IGCSE MRSM, just took her Check Point exam last year...now in Form 3. Those wonder what is this MRSM is actually.... this MRSM took a little bit different approach in learning where most subject are taught in English. They have 2 exams came from Cambridge.... one in Form 2 called Check Point & another one in Form 4.

Yes it is expensive considering the papers are from Cambridge and the total payment are not fixed depending on the currency exchange that time. Many parents, they dont have enough infos on this....they just think they are proud if childern are selected to study here..... without knowing the way the education is delivered & amount of fees.

My experience, those children with just passed their UPSR "ngam2 atas pagar" especially english & math, they will struggle here.....
