if u are rich go for KYUEM
Kolej Yayasan United Engineering of Msia..
there are wher those under govn sship / private sector sship sent to..
its really a nice place for studyin..

i hear most of the students studying there are under scholarship
and in the past few years this college has been producing quite a number of graduates with impressive results iirc

which ever college is not a huge factor as long as you can get what you need to get into UK uni.

Added on October 21, 2007, 11:32 pmhe is right actually. acceptance to UK uni doent really relate to which college you went to, but your a-level result. because GSCE a-level is an external examination.

GCE A-level is an external examination. Taylor's College has nothing to do with it.

Again, no one gives a damn as to which college you did your A-levels at.

It is just like buying apples from pasar malam and cold storage, same species of apples, sold at a different price.

Seeing the results..I wish to express some of my thoughts. It's not where you get your education. What matters is how much effort you put into getting the results. I'm from IS and I got 4A's not because the college is good or anything..The facilities, teaching, and location to some extent might influence your choice but I don't think there should be a "best" destination for A level in Malaysia. Results wise, Taylors score best ?..well..that maybe because they have more students than the rest of the colleges?

Besides, I remember a school mate of mine got "top in the world", yes..not just top in malaysia..but IN THE WORLD for business.. So don't get influenced by the biased poll. It really doesn't matter where you study!



Totally in agreement!
The price is just bogus. A friend of mine went to taylor's for A levels ended up regretting it and returned to IS.

Based on your situation,i would suggest you taylor or sunway college.since $$ is not a problem for you,then go for it. .anyway,if you think you are easily influenced by others....haha better choose others college~ just my 2 cent.

HELP has the best team.....Ms Kimmie Tan is well known for Economics, & Mr Jahn Cheah the Dept Head is famous for Further Maths....just come over...we have the best of teams.

Many of the students under our mentoring gain wide acceptance into prestigious universities like Cambridge & LSE.

Be aware that some famous PHD holder or 1st class master degree might not be a good lecturer, yea they are smart and famous, but there're no guarantee that they can teach the students effectively.. So its better to ask someone who actually went to that particular college, will be the finest info u can find

it doesnt matter which college u take ur A lvls in, its how well u score...

its not da same with a degree course...

if money is not a problem, then any college would be fine, but if it is a problem, juz dun go to colleges like taylors where they charge 20k+ for A lvls

haha
seriously la, it doesn't matter much.
Basically, taylors is just a tiny private college in Malaysia. U got money, u get in.

it does not matter which college u get it from, it's the same..... wat they say is right

no u dont have to, there are others like AUSMAT, SAM, ADP, UEC, IB and even STPM is accepted overseas

Thanks for the feedback given. Any furthur advise, especially student that had gone through A LVL in the above mentioned college..

im doing a-levels at HELP now..i chose HELP cause the exam is from the London board and this means can resit ur paper..but in Taylors is the Cambridge board which is like SPM..study for 1 1/2 years and then sit for one final exam..so there is more pressure not to mention Cambridge board papers are tougher..im taking for subjects and the fees are rm20k+..All my lecturers were good until my econs teacher left..now stuck with some newbie lousy teacher..

What is the difference between A LVL from London Board and from Cambridge??

For Cambridge board, you DON'T study for 1 1/2 yrs n sit for 1 final exam. For Further Math paper, yes, but other than that, you actually sit for 2 exams, AS & A2, both of which are of equal weightage

ooo..didint know that..but London board can retake more times..

Anyone who is smart will not try to retake the units.........so study hard, don't slack off and your years doing A-levels will be enjoyable.

i think theres another big diff with the london and cambdrige board. you do yours in different sets of units. like cambridge has the AS in one shot, and london has the AS in two sets if im not mistaken?

currently doing my AS now, i seriouslly hope not to retake. Its freaking stressful. 5 different papers if i have to resit the exams.

so you gotta first choose your alevel examination board, and from there filter out the rest.


KYUEM is a good school. Kolej Tunku Jaafar as well. this are popular colleges, KTJ is well known private boarding school.

well the name taylors on it doesnt really mean that much. getting the grade is the fore most important thing. your extracurricular activities, your personal statement.

in terms of lecturers, every college would have their fair share of shitty ones and good ones. Im quite thankful i got some pretty good lecturers but i pity some of my friends with the bad ones. but at the end of the day A levels you really gotta do your own work. research up on your own. and dont wait till the last minute even if the exams are months ahead. I had to learn the hard way, even though i did study i still made silly mistakes and didnt hit my target for trials.

as i am from taylors, i think its an all right place to go to. i choose it mainly cause of my friends, the cambridge board. and of course since i stay in damansara, i needed a change of enviroment, so i didnt look at any in the pj area.

Yeah,retaking is not a good idea,especially if you have further maths.

In institut sinaran sabah now. Now doing A level (AS + A) together. According to them, the fees is the cheapest in whole Malaysia. You can finish the whole course for just 6K. The teachers are quite good , no bad comment so far. Going to graduate Nov 26.
