Meaning? I'm just warning you guys to work hard if going for form 6. Work hard for 1 and a half year and enjoy your whole life or enjoy 1.5 year and suffer for the rest of your life...... Your choice. Now, fortunately, I still can at least have an ok future.

For those who are going to enrol in form 6 classes, here is a very good website providing information(notes) that is highly relevant and excessively more than what you will learn in Form 6. This website encompasses almost all maths and science subjects except PA.

I would say it is very comprehensive compared to most reference books I have got.

The website is for form 6?or more than form 6?

Dear devilelle,
Why you said you would rather choose A-level at the 1st place?A-level is much more easier to score?
Isn't their syllabus is more detail and harder to score compared to STPM?
Your reply is appreciated

Of course more than form 6,it's a US publishing company.

Catch a glimpse of what you are going to study,you can refer to this website and I think it's more comprehensive and reliable compared to wiki or other reference websites.

www.answers.com is a good website too.

Thanks!

    Never regretted i took it, actually proud that i took it although deeply regretting not working hard through it tongue.gif
2. Can share some experiences on your study? izzit really a MUST to study everyday for few hours?? shocking.gif
    I never really did study much as i took STPM in KTAR = spend more time going cafe and play around than studying even though i do have some really good lecturers there especially chemistry...Study everyday???actually not really necessary,just make sure u pay attention in class, take your own initiative to find out about things that u are unsure or blur about and be prepared to work hard. STPM is not that dependent on memorizing than u think and is not as hard as you think it is.
3. What subjects should be taken in science stream?
    This is a question that u should be asking yourself shouldn't you???you have to decide on your own which path that u wish to take. I took physics, chem, maths and GP coz i never took Biology during my spm days.

4. The most important thing,can I still apply for uni(such as Utar) if I din do well or sumore even worst failed in stpm??
    Of course can if you are able to get reasonable grades. A cgpa of 1.8 already allows you to enrol into certain private universities. A fren of mine actually had cgpa of 1.8 yet still manage to get into 1st year degree at MMU. As told by my lecturer, if you think that you're really hopeless with a subject (besides GP, fail GP = die sweat.gif ), forget about it and concentrate on the other two and try your hardest on getting at least a C. That way you'll have 3 credits (that was the thing that unis look at, the amount of credits rather than your overall CGPA, thats how my fren got into MMU coz he has three credits while he absolutely flunked the other one). I sincerely hope you do not end up in this kind of situation however.

Why much of the people here say they didn't work hard during STPM?Is it a norm?LOL.

QUOTE(myc04 @ May 5 2008, 06:44 PM)
more detailed? no.

harder to score? depends

What you mean by depends?A-level is from UK,right?So I assume their standard is higher though.

When you entering form six, you will feel very 'senior' among others,where egoS are high.
One thing, dont take things for granted during form six.

What things you mean we will take for granted during our form 6 period?
QUOTE(LegendLee @ May 6 2008, 09:24 AM)
For STPM to be recognised by the UK University, Malaysian Gov had to increase the difficulty of STPM to be higher of that of A-levels.
That and some political reasons.
STPM > A levels(those who sat for it in Malaysia).
*
So UK Universities accept STPM?Anyway,is STPM entitled to some entrance grant in university oversea?

speaking of olympiad science competiton, one of my greatest regret is being ignorant about this competition during my form6 days and how it will benefit me if i happen to take it.

those who are currently or goin to start form6.. find out more about this competition. my school and the teachers never mentioned about this at all. recommend you to find out and participate in it if you think you're good enough.

many universities have a slot for you to fill about this competition and the award you have won in the admission application page.

reckon it will be a major boost in your application to top universities in the world

update yourself. science subjects already in english for few years

Where to check whether is there such competition held?
