According to the counsellor from HELP, the class is about 30 students.

I see. Thx for the info. Anyway, isit possible for me to take up 5 subjects and drop 1 if I feel that im not able to cope ?

my advise is be careful when choosing A Levels. think a few times.

I did my A levels in TARC. the main difference between A level and STPM is A levels require you to think more. Know how to apply.

the only major advantage of A level is it is more recognized world wide.

I agree with Toccatina to think carefully before choosing to study A-Levels. It is a very tough programme and will take up 1.5 years. If you take the London Board A-Levels, it is modular, hence, you may re-sit for that particular subject if you don't do well in it. I have written more about it in my blog on Pre-U and also a comparison chart on the Pre-Us available including the A-Levels. You can go check it out if interested, hope it helps. www.eduspiral.wordpress.com

im an international student currently studying in garden international school all the teachers are international and most have been from the board of examinations tht are now teachers. they provide a levels here the school is located in hartamas and under the same board as taylors but is more expensive perhaps you guys might wanna try there but you're gonna have to take csla and malaysian students need not take the LAN. just my 2 cents but the rules are crap.

i can't with you more. I'm now studying in Liverpool doing my Gcse's this year and we had some student meetings telling us what's best for us next year. they told me to take 4 subjects for the first year and drop one at the end of the first year as it will increase you final points for A levels. but i'm not sure wether you can drop a subject in malaysia like we can over here.

Btw, i heard that you need to do some subjects in Taylors which is compulsory or whatnot, is this true ? hope somebody can help

4 subjects is very crucial in terms when you want to apply for top unis, such as OxBridge, Imperial, NUS etc.. they will tell straight in the face that they want to 4A's..irregardless of how good is your co-coriculum..etc..

if you are contented with life..3 subs should be enough.=)

hey guys what are the fees for Sunway U A-Levels?

I don't know about other places but in Taylor's yes you can take 4 subjects first and decide to drop 1 if you think you can't cope with it halfway.
The only compulsory subjects for CAL in Taylor's would be Thinking Skills during AS Level and the MQA Compulsory Subjects if you are a Malaysia (Moral/Islamic Studies and Malaysian Studies and Bahasa Kebangsaan A if a credit in BM was not achieved)

I voted the 100th for taylor's, cheers !!

taylor...i sapork

Hello, I am helping a few friends of mine to sell off their A level books. I have a few original and photocopied text books, tutorials and notes. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, General Paper. Just let me know what subject and books you want and I will help to search for it. Price will always be low. Just wanna clear everything off. Location at TARC, Setapak. PM me for details. Thank you.

for taylor's
which campus has the best lecturers for a levels econs, maths, f maths, physics?

and is the combination of subject above good for a degree in actuarial science or economies?
im planning to go LSE, UK after ALevels

I am surprised a KDU not making this list as one of the recognizable ones. Its pretty good actually with many good lecturers.

Both Subang Jaya and Sri Hartamas campuses has the same quality of lecturers ^^ Though I prefer the environment in Subang and it's cheaper too and more fun there in my opinion XD
On the combi I don't quite know have to ask somebody more pro XD

I'm a spm leaver. I'm currently thinking of doing A-levels because i am rather confused in choosing my tertiary education. I did not take biology in spm, but i am thinking of taking biology in A-levels. But, i'm not very sure. Is it a right choice? Can i cope up with it? Where should i do my A-levels? providing my finance is on average level. means i'm not tat rich. And, i got 9A's. So, if anywhere i can get full scholarship other than tar college? Not sure about tar college. thanks.

Dude u can email them urself. But for ur convenience its around 23k for 3 subjects and 29k for 4. That was for my year though.

U're gonna have to work very hard if u don't have prior knowledge. Heck, even without SPM bio knowledge u have to work very hard already.
U can get bursaries based on your SPM results. Check with the respective college websites for the amounts.

Added on May 29, 2010, 1:25 amIMO, this poll is biased.
Taylor's is the biggest A-level provider in M'sia. Sooo more students = more lowyat forumers in taylors = more ppl voting here. Heh.

However, I'm gonna give my biased opinion here. Go for Sunway. Around 100 - 150 students (A-levels) per intake so it isn't so cramped, u'll practically know almost everyone in ur intake n u guys will form a closer bond together.
Teaching quality here is top-notch. The lecturers give extra classes on demand without hesitation. They're passionate about their subject too.

Oh i see... Hmmm.... thought of going for medicine side but then... it's quite impossible. haaaizzzz. Anyway, what u think about HELP or Stamford? How's the lecturer there? how's the fees? I can't get to HELP's homepage no matter how many times i try. Wonder what's wrong. Should give them a call tomorrow. thanks.

Not everywhere.

Nowadays, Sunway/HELP/Taylors will only give FULL scholarship to people with 10A/A+ and above. If I'm not wrong HELP only give full scholarship to 11A/A+ , even 10A/A+ is partial for HELP

Sad for those who only took 9 subjects.
