well then i better get studying for my alvls=) my as is in NOV OMG!!@#!@#!@#!@#

Took my Alevels back in 2006-2007, the A* grade was never there yet at that time, all i can say is, for Art stream student, just do more past year's questions and study smart, understand it!

P/S: Score as good as possible for your As level, it really helps alot if you screwed up your A2.

Exactly, she was a real genius..
I guess students that take O - Levels generally did better than us who took SPM....

Most ppl that I knew of who took O - Levels got straight A's..

And Yeah, she was not a Malaysian..

She is from Romania..

LOL she's not a genius - just smart.

Straight As ain't goo enough

Did she get into Cambridge?

Not really sure,

The awards was just given a day or two,
and she got 3rd in the World, across 5 A level subjects..

I heard she applied to Cambridge, but I guess she is going to Imperial...

My friend sitting next to me in class, applied for Cambridge and she got it..

She is going to Cambridge to pursue her medical course..

She too got 3rd in the world across 4 A level subjects...

When I saw the amount of books she have read, I tell you, I just fainted...

It was crazy... I can't believe, she read like 100 times what I read in that 1.5 years...

I thought if Cambridge were to reject her, who else are they gonna take??

Anyway, these people are really good.. And yeah she is a Mensa member too..

I would have liked world-level awards, lol.

Does anyone knows if the Disted campus is good o:? The one in Penang. Taylor's is too pricey, they're asking for at least 37k+ for 4 subjects which I don't see the point of taking it when I can do it in Penang for less than 20k or so for 4 subjects...

4 subjects in KL (including sciences and maths) can cost just about 37k+ including everything to do with school and tuition. But, I don't think, if you have a good alternative, you need to spend a lot on A Level studies.

Can someone verify this:

Cambridge A-Levels - Covers less items but goes deep into each item.

Edexcel A-Levels - Covers more items but not as deep as Cambridge's.

Thanks!

I don't know if you can say that, because I have seen the syllabi, and some subjects have similar syllabi while others are different. Hardly anyone has done both boards for the same subject(s).

do the cheapest 1...its the same exam anyway..unless u hate tat place xD
lol

Hi, there I just finished pursuing my Cambridge A levels....

And, when I am studying in my 1.5 year course, I actually have a brother who tooked Edexel...

So, I would like to say something..

First, I would definately agree with you, with no doubt in the subject Biology..

Edexel beats Cambridge FLAT.. with it comes to contents, but of course lose to STPM...

Edexel Biology really covers the subject alot.. compared to Cambridge which in my opinion, test students on how they apply their knowledge , rather then doing verbatim...

With that said, I would definately labeled your comment as spurious as we compare the subject PHYSICS...

Cambridge for me is way superior compared to edexel...

I was actually complaining about my brothers edexel physics book..

I told him," huh, this is all edexel contains? "

To me it just ain't sufficient the subject matters and I believe the students ain't grasping the subject well enough if they do not turn to other relevant materials for extra knowledge..

With Cambridge on the other hand, I am really impressed and I really love the subject matter ...

Complete and detailed... Well, like I said not as detailed as STPM... (btw I also studied STPM books) for extra knowledge..

Maths on the other hand for me, its equal... both covers the same ones... except, edexel books are so simple to understand...
Whereas cambridge really explains like a scientist .. So I love edexel on that sense that its so easy to understand the text contents..

Depth and detail is equal FOR MATHS...

Well, for CHEMISTRY, Yup, Its again par for me.. they are both tantamount on syllabus wise matter.. detail and depth...
And lastly of course lose to STPM in depth and detail wise...

So, the conclusion is for me.. The most profound difference between the two examinations are in BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS..

I hope this helps.. and yeah, remember these are just my verdict and opinion..

And if you were to choose which one, I wish you all the best in pursuing the course you feel comfortable with the associated college to pursue the course.. Good luck..

Nice...*barney stinson style*

Added on March 21, 2011, 9:11 pmThe main difference between the Cambridge A Levels and Edexcel A Levels is the course structure. In Cambridge A Levels (which is available in Taylor's), you'll sit for 2 major exams - As and A2. For example, when you join the Jan/March intake, you'll sit for your first major exam, the AS in December the same year (you'll be assessed everything that you've learned up till then). In June the following year, you'll sit for the A2 exam, which will assess everything that you've learned for the last 18 months
In the Edexcel system, it follows a modular system. This means that in each subject taken, your course content are divided into several modules (which may contain a number of chapters). For example, in the subject of Physics, you have a total of 26 chapters to complete. Module One consists of Chapter 1-8, Module Two Chapter 9 - 16... etc.

After you complete a module, you'll sit for an exam which only assesses the respective chapters in the module. Basically once you complete each exam, you will not need to study those chapters again.

You can give our counsellors a call at 03-56362641 to find out more.

Pardon my asking, for my clarification purposes , is there any difference between, for eg., 4As in Cambridge A Levels and 4As of Edexcel A Levels, is it the same grade qualification for , let's say medical courses.
thanks.

No difference, the different boards are treated the same.

Thanks for the clarification.
