HEY why dont u try KDU college at Damansara. I was there for my A levels and i can tell u the lecturers are very good.

For 1 we have the infamous Mr George who teaches chemistry xD

seriously colleges like taylors and sunway just wanna reel u in and a fool and his money are soon parted.

are you qualified for their scholarships? if not take the cost of tuition fees into your consideration too.

im at kdu receiving a full waiver...and i can comment a bit...the enviroment is great and u really do feel like a big family here=) the lecturers are also very helpful and informative, but basically a level boils down to your own hard work. And yeah u would want to take the tuition fee in consideration too, u dont wanna spend a huge chunk for ur pre-u studies rite? im here at kdu coz i gt a full waiver for jan intake=) and i can say its more than i expected, so yeah kdu is kinda good if u ask me=) of coz other schools are also good, in terms of str8 As student, every college have their fair share=)

I suggest Sunway College..
I just finished my 1.5 years in Sunway College..

And I obtained 5A's for my A Levels...

The environment of study in SUC is very conducive and very little stress imposed on students..Well as for me, that is my opinion...

I love a college where there are not many students in a certain course or more specifically in a class...

With an optimum number of students in a classroom, we could ask discuss, and the best part even have time to crack jokes with friends and even the lecturers..

Relating the lecturers, they are dedicated to their work and of course to the well-being of students.....

With more than 10 years of experience, I could trust them in assisting me with any doubts regarding all of my subjects..

It's very difficult on asking which college is better, or which is the best...

We could only hear feedbacks from friends and take them into consideration..

I suggest if you want to choose the best option of college for pursuing your pre-u course..

Just drop by at your desired college or go for an open day and see whether it suits you and you must feel comfortable more like feeling at home...

At the end of the day, the college or even the lecturers play very little role on obtaining good grades...

As for me getting 5A's was a daunting task but nevertheless, everyday I was so keen on going to SUC for my A levels..

And I believe that drives me and really inspires me to obtain the best results achievable my anyone...

My conclusion is all colleges are the same, but the best college choice for anyone is your own personal perception towards a certain college, that for you, that college has a better edge against all other college.. Remember, in life its all in the mind...

I want to end my post by quoting a famous philosopher, " There is nothing good of bad in life, only thinking makes it so "
With that, I would wish you all the best on which ever university or college you would invest your heart and soul and making the best out of it...

Happy Choosing..
Signing off..

Yeah, its General Paper....

Although its only taken in AS but its still regarded as a paper..

As in Taylor's College advertises their students obtaining 5A's....

oh...did u find it hard to get 4As? how's ur study hr per day? do u think i can cope with a levels if i go debate club ( around 10 hrs per week), go to orphanage homes once a week, volunteer for natural disaster victims( recent flood) and join the Raleigh Club. I heard that a level is kinda heavy.

Yeah, A level's is kinda heavy..

Honestly, I did consistent revision throughout the whole 1.5 years course..

Just do the past year papers and you will be fine....

Getting 4A's to me is kinda easy... But to obtain 4A* ( a really good understanding is required combined with mastery of all the 4 subjects )

As for me.. I only got 1A* ( sadly )

As for me most of the time I am playing computer games...

Honestly, the secret of my success is that I always watch You tube for clearer and detailed understanding of the subject matter...

I do lots of research in the internet.. and for the record of it I also study STPM books.. for extra knowledge... but only those matching with the A level topics...

But just believe in yourself.. and yeah I guess its because my SPM, I obtained 11A1's..
But SPM doesn't really matter.. A level is "A level" above the other government exams..

So good luck..

A* simply means (for the subjects in discussion) the student who obtained that grade has done well enough in his/her exams to be amongst the best 10%-11% of all those examined.

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.. notworthy.gif
