Har ? i was in Main block during my foundation years and now in KPD. I prefer main block more lo.. if i were given a choice i rather to have my classes in main block. i like there alot.

Well I guess it depends on your preference I have to admit, taking the bus everyday from main block to KPD for my lessons is quite tiresome. Sometimes I have to take the bus back to main block during our breaks too because there's more choice for food there I guess you guys don't have to walk around much either

not quite convenient

i may not be able to answer all of your questions as i am now in Psychology program. Anyway, just giving you my opinions, hope it helps.

Basically most lecturers and students here are quite good lah in my opinion. But you know, every schools and colleges have some not-so-good lecturers i guess. Well, it depends on how you define " good " loh~ HELP A level is edexcel A level, and if i am not mistaken UCSI offers Cambridge A levels

Some of my frens struggling in their A levels program and i heard that A levels science stream is vry hard

Well personally I think the teachers are great Not sure about comparison between HELP/UCSI though..

After my A-Levels hopefully I will be able to study in UK if I get an offer for Medicine So far it doesn't seem too hard, the first two modules of Maths are almost all Add Maths stuff My other subjects - Chem, Bio and Physics are okay too I suppose Don't know if it's easier than STPM but to me I think the way exams are carried out it should be better since we have our exams every 6 months or so. Once we sit for an exam we no longer have to revise those topics (unless of course you want to resit for that paper).

The duration of the entire A-Levels is about 18 months if you go for January/July intake. I guess if you start here in July then you will finish some time at the end of 2010/early 2011.

Just so you know, you also get a partial scholarship for A-Levels based on your SPM results (Min. 7 A1 excluding 1119/EST). If you have a sibling that went to HELP before you also get a 10% discount.

I'm not too sure about scholarships for uni though.. maybe someone else knows

Your degree is recognised overseas by certain universities. I know we have twinning programs with more than a few universities in Australia and UK especially, less in the US but still possible.

You can always go to Wisma HELP, level 8, Psychology department and consult the people there such as Linda, Jo or Jue Ying. I think it's even better if you already have an overseas university that you have in mind so they can confirm straight whether furthering your studies there after the HELP's programme is possible or not.

anyone from ADP Help?

thx 4yr in4mation...

UCSI also offer edexcel A level...

Nope, I started in Jan

I think you only need to sit for the english tests when applying for Uni.

I have classes everyday, each class is about 2 hours long but usually our lecturers give us a break before/after the lesson so about 1 and a half hours on average

Currently my time table if you're curious (for 4 subjects) is like this:-

Monday 8-10, 12-4
Tuesday 8-10, 12-2
Wednesday 12-4
Thursday 8-2
Friday 8-12

During our long breaks we usually hang out at one of the restaurants or if we have tests coming up we go to the library to study

However, the compulsory LAN subjects that you have to do (Moral studies and malaysian studies) take quite alot of your time - once a week for each subject, 4pm to 7pm. I suggest you take both of the subjects during your first semester because that's when your subjects are still relatively easy Make sure you pass or they'll make you resit next semester

Sign up for your LAN subjects early too, because the spots are limited.

Yes, Edexcel A-Levels are recognised world-wide

thank you for your answers.

actually, i went over to HELP's general advisor but he did not help much.
Why did HELP set up such position when these people only know a little bit of everything?
We didn't go all the way there to get to know a little bit of something.

Yes, I can't really blame them totally, as they do not have in depth knowledge regarding many things since there are far too many courses to cover.

I know there are many universities that are not listed as a partner with the BPsych programme, but nonetheless accepts it or is willing with some conditions attached. This is why you are better off approaching the Department of Psychology personally, as they will be able to e-mail/contact those responsible in the university you wish to transfer to and hammer out a deal or something.

Thank you for your answers.
Will go over one day to Department of Psychology.
Can I know the way to the Psychology Department if I am from the Main Block where the general advisors are?
By the way, nice knowing you.
Can you pm me your email so that we can keep in contact?
You are a great help!
Thanks!

is HELP a good choice for pure science/further maths comb ?

Yes, to be honest, it doesnt really matter if you do a levels at taylors or help. but i would recommend HELP, especially since you are thinking of doing further maths, as edexcel is easier than cambridge board which taylors does, but both are recognised equally.

Alot of people in HELP who did a levels did 3 sciences and maths. Thats a very typical combo. Alot do physics, chem, maths, further maths etc..

I'm doing that No regrets so far

@gomes. and Leto

thx for ur replies.

izit possible to do 5 subjs? pure science + further maths. the reason im considering this because i'm still pretty unsure about my career path (whether medicine or engineering) but im afraid i might miss out alot in engineering if i hadnt done further maths in alvls. furthermore i like maths alot

^ You could die trying.

They have a 2 weeks trial period where you can go class-hopping. But I don't think you get to see much from F. Maths classes since we only start Further Pure Maths in Semester 2.

Certain unis do not require A-levels Biology as a compulsory subject for Medicine. And even if you decide to do Engineering without F. Maths, you would still be able to catch up easily.

Agree with cherried.. Further Maths is not an easy subject, especially with 4 other subjects :/

If you're still not sure, then yes I would suggest you to drop Bio as not all Unis require it for Medicine.
