QUOTE(mphpopular @ Jul 10 2008, 09:04 PM) How was your result. What i can say is AS is very tough subject. I shall rate it as high tough subject. So, think twice my results ah ... hmm .. can consider ok lor ...but not very very excellent .. juz ok only .... i took a-levels ..now still waiting 4 results .....but my A2 is HORRIBLE .. so i duno wat kind of result i ll get ....hopefully not very bad ... de main reason i wanna take actuarial science is bcz i love maths ... i hope i can take a course dat involves lotz of calculations like maths ... my 2nd option is applied maths v computing ... anyhow..my main worry is i m not sure whether i can get into UTAR 4 these courses or not based on my results |

QUOTE(kanzakicyn @ Jul 16 2008, 12:19 PM) very true, on top of that, do u love the teories and the reason why certain therom exist? U will be learning how to prove and why probability exist and such. hey ... u r an AS student?? how is it studying AS???wat result u used 2 enroll?u now in de 2nd year of it?AS student here, aih...... honestly i hate maths, but if tehre is a willt here is a way. It takes roughtly 10 years to complete the external exam after graduation. But my fren is trying to complete it within 3 years. Some will just go thru it. Trust me, dont think that i am not good in this subject can skip la, kau tim others first, dun care abotu this subject, then ur very wrong. Cuz at the end of the day, almost every single subject i a pre-requisit for the other subject, and even if the subjuct is not pre requisit, inside u will find what u have learned before previouslly. btw, alot of people complain there is no time. I am an as student, last week i have 2 exams, one on friday and one on wednesday, this week, i have exams on mon, wed and friday and an assignment due on friday, next week i have another assignment due on thursday and 2 exams on friday. U will be constantly facing exams. I semester there is roughly 6 subjects and assuming only 5 subjects has 4 test each, in total there is 20 test. Our sem is only 14 weeks. So..... every week test lor... anyway, if u are able to stand thru hectic times and not fall down easily, then i can see that u have a shot in AS field, but if u are a person who give up easily upon hardship, then i think better dun waste money lor..... Anyway, even maths genius have to cope with huge amount of work. y would u take maths if u hate it?? can u tell me more how de classes 4 AS??how r de lecturers 4 dis course?r dey experienced n gud enuf?? i m really interested in dis course ..it's my main option ..my 2nd option would b applied maths .... wats de difference between these 2 courses??dey seems 2 b omos de same ...

But if you are good in maths, i don't see why you shouldn't pursuit ur dream course? i dun dare 2 say dat i m gud in maths bcuz there r lotz of ppl outdere who r better den me ..2 b honest i like maths bcuz it's a sub dat i m comfortable with .... n i heard dat act science is not solely focus on maths .. econs,biz n acc would cum in as well .. dat creates variation n i thk dat reduces de boredom of studying oso .... it is my dream course indeed .. but i m juz worried dat i cant cope up v de stress of doing dis course only .. phew =='' |

QUOTE(Akane @ Aug 16 2008, 05:03 AM) Anything lesser than 3A's will not get you a merit scholarships from UTAR. Since you are applying AS, try to seek out for more external scholarships by bank, insurance company and others. IIANM, there are a lot companies sponsoring students doing their degree in UTAR, especially those degree related to Business. i duno where 2 look for de external scholarships ... phew ==Should everything fail, PTPTN will help you i only got 2A's v me ... so sad ...
