Agreed

Although really, there isn't much differentiation/integration involved. Very very little, in fact.

Yeah,thats true,though but some problems can be solved using them and it's much easier.

hi...
jus wanna ask...
has anyone heard of Tuanku Ja'afar college?
I heard it's ULTRA expensive there...
some ppl say it's like a british boarding school..

i think one term is rm13,150...
is it true??!?

if u wanna to go taylor's without scholarships it's going to cost u more than 30k......correct me if i am wrong

heard of it before..
and if im not wrong...the A levels Tuanku Ja'afar college is offering is VCE A level, not Cambridge A Level, right ?
and the students there have to wear uniform...

i think the tuition fee stated is outdated (like a few years ago), for 2008 CAL tuition fee will be:
3 subjects- 5280
4 subjects- 7040
(1 subject costs 1760, Thinking skills is not considered as 1 subject as it's compulsory)

there are scholarships available to lease the burden..
11A1 and above- Full tuition fee waiver (have to pay miscellaneous fee which is about 10K as well)
10A1- 7000
9A1- 5000
11A till 15A- 3000
8A till 10A- 1000

English 1119 (or more precisely the GCE-moderated English grade) is not considered as an A.

btw if u don't mind going to Sabah, there's a place called Institut Sinaran which is pretty good.. yielded a lot of straight A's and stuff..

they haf intensive class which is 11 months n it's 8K i think
then the normal a levels which is 18 months is around 9+K if not mistaken

Methodist College is offering a limited number of SCHOLARSHIPS for its A-Levels March intake.

I have a friend that goes there too. Most of the students that go there are children of datuks and datins. It's basically like a full board boarding school for rich kids.

LOL ...brickfields asia college just about 6.5k for 3subject including all the text books . LOl wut , its good college.

ATC only about 6.8k

Get atleast 9As in ur SPM.
get the college merit scholarship
pay only RM225 for the WHOLE alevel course ( 5subjects)
~provided that u pass all the exam...and hv average of 60%. (ps:dun think it is easy to get tat.)

BAC also is cheap for A'lvls abt RM6-7k and if u get good results in ur SPM can nego with them to give u scholarship then u dun need to pay tuition fees just pay for the registration fees and exams fees ler..

TARC is also good.

Taylors all that too expensive la..21k just for A'lvls? so after that? pk to proceed on liao la..unless u r freaking rich then go ahead la. But those who r supporting themselves can't afford it.

may i know what subjects they offer for A-Levels?

Haiz, ATC and BAC both also arts punya A-Levels. I wish there's colleges that can offer reasonable tuition fees for science A-Levels besides TARC.

Taylors and Sunway are obviously the expensive ones
HELP is average, around 16k while TAR is the cheapest

which institution u asking?
if BAC and ATC is arts subjects only lor..for BAC i think now currently Business Studies, Economics, Accounting, Law, English Literature, etc i'm not sure abt it coz in my batch only offered 4 subjects now i think got more but i'm not sure.

lol too bad lor xD
TARC is okay wert, not meh?

Edexcel's (London Board) syllabus for further maths is almost the same as in Cambridge board. Syllabus is as stated above and as an addition, there will be complex numbers, Taylor and Maclaurin series, polar coordinates, and differentiation and integration of hyperbolic and trigonometric function.

For Mechanics and Statistics, it will be as above. For the final semester, you get to choose either you want to do Statistics or Mechanics (S3 or M3). People normally choose Statistics if they are going to do Economics, Actuarial Science or other related fields while those who choose Mechanics usually goes into Engineering field. But there is an exception that those who do Engineering course as their first degree choose to do Statistics instead of Mechanics because it hard compared to Statistics (most of the people who do Further Maths perceive that way).

Note that Pure Maths is very useful for those who went to study Engineering courses as the Maths for first year degree course is basically just a repetition of what you learn during A-Levels Further Maths with maybe something a bit extra. So, there is a bit of relaxation (although you still need to revise constantly).

I'm sorry that my post is a bit off topic but it is a general idea of what is like doing Further Maths in A-Levels.

Back to the topic, threadstarter, I suggest you to take Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths if you are going into medical related course but that is merely my suggestion as from what I've found out, most of my colleague who wanted to pursue their further studies in medical or any other related course took 3 sciences and maths.

erm.for science subjects.
