I would like to share my experience here as an ex form 6 scul leaver from 2007. I have never regretted taking form 6 however I do regret i did not put in efforts during form 6. I was the top student in my ex scul before i set for a new scul(my old scul does not offer form 6). I was very highly anticipated since, I'm one of the best. However, I hadn't been able to discipline myself. I hung around with useless fren which lead me to neglecting study and desire to score. I was no longer my old self, getting poor results, being looked down, I felt no shame tat time..... And I do mean shameless. Made my daddy so mad that he actually scolded my everyday, asking me to get back to my old self, get into studying, however, I dun think there's any problem with myself tat time, I only keep on consoling myself, I can do better next time without any realistic initiatives. Time past by and its mid 2007, I finally regained a little consciousness, starting to put somehow little negligible effort. The desire in my fire and fade everyday.... I studied till late nite everyday, however, I still maintain my daily happy-go-lucky routine. I started everything from the beginning. August came, STPM is just 3 months away, I started to regain my consciousness, I kept away from tat fren, forcing myself to study everything from all the beginning since before this, I have never really put in efforts, things just were not in my memory. I did maths exercise everyday, from the beginning, studied physics from the beginning, understanding and solving problems, reading thru chemistry all the way from the start. Of coz, lots and lots of hurdle, lots of questions and problems in understanding, since i nver paid attention in class. My only source of help comes from a senior who's studying at the same class as me. This senior failed UEC before and he attended form 6 in our scul in order to get into uni. He's a real pro in physics and maths, however, I have to withstand lots of bad jokes and being fooled when asking things to him. He was even reluctant to teach me sometimes, and I have to beg him and he always said he dun believe i was the best student in form 5. All these are just aches to my hearts and pride, however I have no turning point, I'm on the journey to decide my future, so all the complaints and laughters and swallowed down and keep deep in my heart. I finished the whole physical chemistry volume 1 and 2 in 1 month time and went further to organic. By tat time, I slowed down on my chemist and started physics, 1month to finish up roughly the whole syllabus of physics which I can only master kinetic. For the last few weeks, I started to memorize all the organic chemistry and inorganic,practising maths. I cried myself in dark so many times in the midnight......... Why hadn't I started earlier??!!!!!!!! Why hadn't I be wiser??!?!!!! Finally its time, for Pengajian AM, I had no big problem, using form 5's bm to answer the question with the corect way of answering. When it comes to maths 1, I started to feel so nervous, I had problems with almost half of the total questions. Maths 2, I handle them quite comfortably. Physics, more than half can't do. Out of 4 essay, I only managed to write 1 essay, which is on kinetic. Chemistry, my worst nite mare, I keep praying and nearly cried out during the exam, begging FATHER IN HEAVEN to help me and turn the time back................... I can only answered 1/3 of the questions and the rest, I simply hentam........ Physics is the last paper on monday, 3rd of December, tat 'good' fren of mine asked me whether I would like to go for movie during the weekend, I'm devastated, I walked away silently....................... When results out, I went to scul to take it, everybody open them in front of their frens, meanwhile for me, I took my result and drove away to a silent place with no ppl around. I opened my result, and Pengajian Am=B+, Maths=B+, Maths 1=A, Maths 2=C , physics=C+ and finally my chemistry.......... a C!!!!!! I'm so calm... I phoned my dad, telling him my result, He said he was very happy, I was so sad when I heard wat he actually said..... I should get better result if I hadn't wasted my time....................... However, at least my effort at the last minute is come to a pay.
*This fren is actually my ex scul mate, we were not very close in previous scul, however, I'm not used to the culture of this new scul tats y i hung around with him.......
My advice here: If you are going for Form 6, make sure you can handle the stress, even getting a B would be tough, constant revision, exercise are must. Adequate entertainment is ok, never2 follow my footsteps........ You will regret for the rest of your life................... And last but not least, make sure you got a good and positive fren.

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.

@ysh_kobe:U remind me of myself and my friends !!!
The problem with me is that I failed to concentrate in class just because the weather was too hot(I was sleepy all the time)and I hated my teachers VERY much.As a result I skipped school a lot(at least two days in a week,no action was taken against me)Like u my old school doesn't offer form 6 classes thus we had to tansfer to another school.There were less than 50 Science students that year.Imagine being in a learning environment with no competitiveless,lambat laun I was getting lazy and overconfident.I knew I was getting in trouble yet I kept telling myself that everything would turn out okay after I failed my Chemistry for the n-th times.I started to realise that I was running out of time in May07,only then I started work my butt of to do notes.At that time i should have been doing all the lower six chapters' revisions.I lost my faith and I nearly gave up.I kept telling myself that "u can't give up.This is the only and long-waited chance for u to score a scolarship to study overseas.U can't afford to screw it up.U have to keep studying no matter how tired u are.If not u are going to regret it once the result is released because u don't try your best.The guilt is going to drive u insane."I had to keep telling myself that everyday until I finished my Physics paper.The best thing I have ever done was getting a Chemistry tuition teacher though.
So the lesson is don't wait till last minute!!! the time passes tooo fast.Before u realise the STPM is just around the corner.Now I can't wait to attend uni.I told myself that this time i will try super hard.Not gonna let internet ruin my second chance.

To be honest I skipped a lot of the kokurikulum activities because I was too exhausted after school.I only scored 5.3 while most of my friends scored more than 7 marks each of them. *shrugs* We are supposed to join like three(badan beruniform,kelab,sukan)It almost took up three days in a week while I still needed to take tuition at night !!!
*
Same to me too.......... I would not let the same mistake fail me twice.................... I'll strive to be the brightest among all stars..............
