1) nah, never n not as though as u might think of
2) explore ur enthu in studies, never take it as a burden. imagine u get gud results n got into ur desired course in the best Uni, while showin off to ur friends/relatives.

4) STPM is not as tough as some might say. unless u never study at all, most probably u wun fail, but u really have to put in some efforts for gud results.

as for me, tuition was VERY IMPT! yeah, i would agree to make full use of diff resources arnd us, eg google, reference books... but if u can get a gud tutor, basically an A is not a prob if u follow his lessons consistently.

hmm, i thot the easiest is PA,even my skol (not a famous 1) can get arnd 40 A's out of 100 candidates
