TARC is an alternative of all the collge above. Not many notice they offer A level as they famous for diploma and advance dip
taylors famous of the publicsity to the press whne the A level result came out...yes..the result is good...but not the only college in malaysia that the result is good....
In 10 yrs..Taylors fee already double up....wow..better than invest in share market

I'm taking A level and I'm planning to go for business after that ( oversea most probably ) ... I know its the grades that matter but then if I get really good lecturers I can score with less effort ... But then the price might be a problem for me .. 20++K is too expensive for A level I think .. Any good private college that offers A-level with good lecturers to recommend ?

Taylors is always renowned for the record breaking results of its a-levels programme. Nonetheless, INTI is another popular alternative due to its lower tution and miscellaneuos fee.

My question is a bit direct, which institution can produce better students? what i mean is getting straight As.

Prospective and Current A-levels students are welcomed to post comments.

"official" A-Lvl thread

make it quick, taylor arguable as the most expensive..thats all.
inti might between all of them...

Generally what do you mean by which institution produces excellent scoring students? If you don't make the effort to study then you won't get good grades at all frankly.

This is my own opinion as a current A-Level student. Do you have any budget constraints? If none then follow then crowd and go to popular institutions like Taylors/Inti or the like. Anywhere will do as long you bother to make the effort.

What the above poster written is correct, Taylors have the highest fees currently for A Lvs. As for the lowest, AFAIK the lowest I've seen is RM5.8k or so for the full course excluding exam fees which are about RM1000+/- for 3 A level subjects.

Hi, I am very new to all this Pre-U things...

If I want to study Engineering, but I have never done Physics and Calculus in high school before; can I learn Physics and Calculus in Pre-U?

well said..
thr is no such ting if the kolej produces high achievers, u wud be 1 of them..
its all up 2 u..

but u can take da following points in2 consideration...

1. taylors surrounded by mamak place, open/ public area..traffic n all..not tat u r studying on da road but just da environment is like tat..u must be able 2 control urself n manage between study n time-out..

2. inti is surrounded by land n long neva ending roads...if u can live in tat kinda environment..then just study laa...got entertainment..nt like subang area...

u can go 2 da places n have a look urself 2 decide ma

i took A level in taylor's 2 years ago. i chose taylor's bcuz it is the biggest Cambridge board centre in M'sia. experienced lecturers are there. topic tests are given at least once a month to make sure students will do constant work. it is a very good environment to study becuz most of the students there are "kia su". though the tuition fee is a bit more expensive, but worth it! according to counselors from some famous universities, taylor's produce better students. but this is stil depend on the students themselves.

There are lots of experienced lecturers at HELP too. Many of them were formerly from Taylor's. Those studying at TARC are also given monthly tests, if they fail, they will be barred from taking their AS. TARC has also a lot of kiasu students and the tuition fee is low.

So which are those famous universities that you are talking about?

People said that A'level is very tough.Then,anyone knows how many people in Malaysia score 5A(Maximum 5 subjects) in their final exam?

A level in HELP is the London board's. as my fren told me, those universities in UK will always prefer Cambridge board students especially for some professional courses like medicine and etc. TARC's A level do not provide certain subjects like thinking skills which is available in Taylor's. if im not mistaken, my fren who took A level in TARC told me, TARC don provide some compulsory subjects like malaysian studies and moral which are a MUST to complete them in order to grad in M'sia. taking these subjects in university is quite a waste of time.

Wrong on many counts.

Firstly, stop spewing nonsense if you don't know what is it like in the UK. If your friend told you that British universities prefer CIE, then he or she is talking rot. There are so many boards in the UK and many do not have any affiliation with Cambridge, the university or the exam board whatsoever. The largest board in the UK is AQA. CIE is not even present in the UK.

You can check the entry requirements for medicine at ALL British universities and you will NEVER find the slightest mention of a particular exam board from which the As must originate.

Who gives a hoot about thinking skills? It's nothing, offers are not based on thinking skills, but on the core subjects.

Malaysian studies and Moral studies are not required if you study in a government funded institution. If you took them during your A-level, and end up doing a twinning program locally, chances are high that you have to retake the same subjects for credits.

A student from TARC and a student from Taylor's, both did A-level and ended up in the same course in the same university in the UK. Who is the fool? One spent 20k to score AAA and took Moral and Malaysian studies while the other paid RM6k and took nothing extra.

Hey, hoping for advise from you guys...im planning to sign up for a college in the next few days ive been doing my research but it hardly helped me haha im torn between two colleges Sunway and Taylors im planning of going into the accouting or business field so doing my pre-u first and either AUSMAT or CIMP...or are those courses not good in the long term where entering unis might be a problem? Any pointers at all would be good thanks!

If i take biology, chemistry and mathematics for A-levels, can i pursue Medicine after that?
Or is it compulsory to take up physics and phsychology as well?

i went to TARC for my a-level before. Now doing masters in UKM after finished my Bachelor in Biomedicine at one of IPTS in malaysia.

One good news for SPM scorer who got 9As or 10As, the tuition fees for a-level course at TARC is FOC. Yeah, free of charge!!

Entry into universities are based on Principal subjects. Even General Paper do not count as much as cores such as Mathematics, Physics, etc.

No idea, maybe people here are bandwagon jumpers and more inclined to follow the "taylor-and-HELP-is-the-best-because-they-advertise-on-the-papers-and-my-friends-tell-me-a-lot-about-it" mantra.

Agree with u somewhat...tho not about the last bit...

Usually for medicine, chemistry and physics combination will do, however if you want to take up biology and chemistry combo that will do as well as long you have chemistry.

Try to take at least 4 subjects if you can.

Yeah,that sounds good..
Also take a look at Stamford College
If you got at least 8As then it'll also be FOC
