if you are looking for a good name on your piece of paper, the name would be "Taylors"

How about Help University College and Kolej Tunku Jaafar. If i am to do actuarial science in my University Level, which college have the best lecturer on subject like Further Mathematics, Economic and Accounting??

If money isn't a factor for u, then maybe sunway college should suite you. Erm, btw, y u choose A level, afaik, A level is like stpm, study all the thing first, then the final exam is testing u for all the thing that u study in one go. Im a foundation student, and its quite different, because the exam is per sem, after that sem, u can totally forget that subject and learn new thing.. just my 20 cents

same case. although relatively easier, but A level will have wider choice when you wanna go study either locally or abroad.

This opinion poll will most probably be biased! Well i guess thats why its called an "opinion poll" doh!

I'd say go to Taylor's College just because thats the only place I've actually studied in for a while (ADP!).

Yup. Money isnt a limiting factor for me. But is Sunway good?? I heard that the quality is not on par with Taylor and they are many rich kids showing off and partying. The reason i choose to do A Level is because I plan to do my degree in UK. Most top university in UK need A Level to qualify for their Undergraduate Programme.

i'm not reli biased, i come from SIT International College( managed by Help U), the lecturers here are fantastic, but i would still recommend taylors (if u have the money) because of the piece of result paper bearing the big "TAYLORS" on it.

Can i know what so special about the name with TAYLOR big name. They are not the same group as Taylor Australia. I dont know what make Taylor tht special. Mind to elaborate???

HELp or Sunway for me. most of frens go to either this college.

Only reason "Taylor's College" is "Special" is because people know about it. The more people who know about a certain college the more likely you would hear good things about it (well the bad things too).

Also do not limit yourself to UK, check out US it might actually be cheaper (yes I said cheaper, if you do not believe me check it out yourself, even the exchange rate is a little more affordable compared to the UK currency) and you do not have to go through the hassle of taking an A-lvls course before applying to a university. Though, you'd have to take a couple of tests (SAT 1 & 2).

Then again I am also being biased on my previous paragraph just because I am pro-US, well actually I'm a rebel and I did not want to go to any mini Malaysia countries (Australia & UK, yes you guys know you are mini Malaysia's!).

u're totally wrong. which one is better, A-level from taylors or A-level from XXX school u never heard of, provided the grades are the same?

Yup. I either going to UK for economic related stuff or to Australia for my Engineering. I dont feel of going to US. HAHA
I am more comfortable with Australia and UK eduacation.

Do take note that even though Taylor's is well-known, there are 1 or 2 lecturers who are, well, less popular among students because of their teaching methods. You can however, lodge complaints and request for change of lecturer.

if u r studying abroad, then u must take A lvl alrd.. no other choice. But from what u said, in sunway there are lots of rich ppl showing off.. yea, my friend is from sunway, and he damn hate those people.

One of my friend are also from Taylor, from what he told me, taylor is quite a good college, with good lecturers. Taylor is more english-oriented i thnk, the students thr spoke english almost all the time.

It's actually up to u.. in my opinion, sunway and taylor is quite the same.

no, not neccesarily

Depends on who u mix with. There are students from Chinese Independent Schools who actually prefer to speak mandarin

There are exceptions to the statement you made, American Universities do not require you to complete A-levels to enter or apply to their universities.

yaya, not neccesarilly , but most of the time i guess..

er, well, the destination to me doesnt matter as long u work for ur grades
as u can see, taylors charge 24k for a-levels,
in some other colleges they charge you less than 10k...
and I seriously dont understand why Taylors charge this amount of money if u compare with other colleges, their main campus is kindda crammed btw
