Methodist College KL is a good place to study A-Levels. It is based on the London Edexcel A-Levels, which is a modular system. As far as I know, it has a good track record, with some of its students entering University of Cambridge, Australian National University etc. on scholarships.

The college is situated near KL Sentral, and easily accessible via LRT, monorail, buses, etc.

In terms of facilities, they have well equipped labs & classrooms, basketball court, multi-purpose hall and badminton court, and they are building a new extension with even more facilities.

A few years ago I did some checking.....

Taylor started with some "smarter" student, meaning JPA scholarship holder. Final result is 30+% got 4As.

MCKL started with "less smart" students, meaning no JPA scholarship holder. Final result also 30+% got 40As.

In fact, AFAIK, I can't find any other college having a higher percentage of 4As in percentage terms as compared to MCKL in West Malaysia. Not Taylors, Sunway, KUEM, Tunku Jaafar or any others. And mind you, college like KUEM also got "smarter" student like JPA scholars to start off with.

So which is better?

As for which college you obtain your A Level. It does NOT matter. Universities DO NOT look at which college you comes from, they only look at the A Level result. Period. Anyone who says otherwise must either be ignorant (excusable) or an idiot (not excusable).

BTW, MCKL is one of the cheaper college so in monetary term, it probably has the best value for money.

My a-level TARC's friend told me that if one doesn't pass in any one of the subjects, the merit scholarship will be cancelled. Is this true in other colleges or is it TARC only? I am afraid of this because I never did well in my school exams but I can do very well in big exams like UPSR and PMR.

If you fail, where are the 'merit' in that? Sure got your scholarship canceled or reduced.
