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..

It is possible, someone i knew (not my intake, few years ago, maybe now they change rules), got his parents to write a note to the head of the department of a levels (dunno which college you are in) and he got to take 5 subjects.

You dont need further maths for medicine (all the people i know who are going for medicine/doing medicine -- majority didnt do further maths)

You shouldnt drop biology, you need a minimum of AS biology to apply to UK for medicine at most universities, but most students would have chem, bio and maths when they apply. You dont need physics for medicine either, but since you want to keep your options about engineering open, you should just do 3 sciences and maths. Thats my advice.

Unless you are really smart, you shouldnt do 5 subjects including futher maths, the amount you need to study is too much time. Further maths gets really tough after around halfway through your a level course.

you dont need further maths for engineering, its not compuslory.

Compulsory for medicine: Maths, Chemistry, Biology (at least AS, but everyone has A2 bio)
Compulsory for engineering: Maths, Physics. (Chemistry if you want to do chem eng)


Most do, and most students (99%) of them would have biology a level. I know a senior who didnt take Bio, but instead took physics, chem, maths and econs. Then she needed to drop econs and take up biology or something.

park at the main block, then take the bus to wisma help (thats where the law faculty is rite?)

thats what people do. i think its like RM3 for the whole day at the main block

Im not sure what is the specific requirements, just check with the counsellors again, I cant remember haha! Its not really a problem though.. any "average" student would be able to get to do the 3 sciences and maths. its not that tough to get accepted.

Yes actual SPM forecasts, but they do allocate scholarships on forecast results if im not mistaken.

The best is to go to HELP main block and just ask the counsellors all the questions.

the lecturers are no better/worse than taylors.

you should just email those unis and ask.

but people from help doing edexcel a levels have gotten into top unis like LSE, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial

just go to help and talk to the consellors.

oh okay, hmm I think you can call them up, call the reception/main line, and ask them to put you through to the counsellors.

used to be, i left.

really? its reasonable IMO.

its really best to ask the universities that you plan to do your masters in, if they accept HELP's degree.

i mean, a nice looking computer screen/nicer building isnt really THAT important to me

for a levels, the lecturers are good. there are good and not so good ones, but its just like any college. taylors college also has good and not so good lecturers..

the business psychology and business course are both sort of 'joint' together, they take the same business subjects.

its a very popular course (both), alot of students and its good

you wont regret taking the london board, i prefer it to the cambridge board.

its like taylors and any other college, there are good and not so good lecturers, but its not like they are totally rubbish.

facilities and environment will lose to taylors subang. but does it really matter if you have a nicer computer in the library or nicer chairs or newer building? the facilities and environment is decent though, and not rubbish like what some people make it out to be.

students, around 500+ for january intake if im not mistaken, march and july is slightly less, about 150-300ish.

yes, got alot of sports activities and non sport activities (photography etc.).


lol, not really.

Long sem, around 13-14 weeks
short sem, around 6-7 weeks.

Year 1 semesters are different from year 2 and year 3 semesters.

first year
jan - april
may - september
october - december (short sem)

2nd and 3rd year
December - Jan/Feb
Jan/Feb - May/June
July - November

you get roughly a month break in between semesters, quite a popular course and alot of people take it

good luck, u'll like it at HELP

Its very successful, very popular and a few hundred people in the intake. Students get into the top unis like oxford, lse, cambridge, imperial, ucl etc.

erm, depends, some classes can be around 20, some around 10. it all depends on your subject combos, but in general its a good ratio and there isnt any problems.

not sure, but its a very high passing rate. but it doesnt really matter, its up to you if you study. dont need to compare to how other people do

ex student.

which intake are you in?

Yes they do provide alot of info, talks and guidance to apply to universities (UK, Aus, USA, elsewhere like hk, india etc.)

If you have an intake in jan, your first major break/holiday will be around june, after you exams. but i think in between around march or something you have a break. i cant remember.


and no one follows the workload pattern seriously, just go at your own pace, but the workload isnt that bad, especially in the first term. 2nd and 3rd sem you might find the workload a bit tougher, but thats normal.

If you join in january 2010 intake, your first exam is in may/june, second exam is january 2011, 3rd and final exam is in may/june 2011.

yes thats how its like, they test you on chapter 1 and 2 in this exam, and the next exam is only on chapter 3 and 4 etc.. but you WILL need the foundations of the previous chapters/exams to do well in the next exams/chapters, although questions directly from previous chapters usually are not asked in the exam. but you shouldnt just throw it out of your head after that exam

not sure the excate amounts, but paying lump sum is cheaper.

i know ppl who do, why? need 2 ask any questions?


depends. if you like pass the coursework/mid term exam or something like that u can just retake the paper. if you fail the final exam then u need retake the whole subject.

both around the same, most private colleges (help, taylors, MCKL etc.) are all good. taylors might be more popular, but in terms of it being ''good', its about the same

you mean bachelor of business?
