if it's listed in the requirements then if u satisfy em, u shud be alrite esp for private colleges...since you're doing SAM and they have listed a 72% etc requirement for SAM cert holders...shud be fine.

hmm, im not sure. is SAM similar to what they do in high school for year 12 in australia?!?! if so, then 72% is low.

umm, for UOL LLB, under Scheme A which u are doing (4 subjects done every year for 3 years), first year is commonly referred to intermediate while second and third year are known as Part 1 and Part 2 respectively...

refer http://www.lawsociety.org.sg/ble/n_first_schedule.htm

better as in? sorry, im not a Help student so i cant help u. :-) the jan intake seems to be spread over a shorter duration though.


the uk dtp for Help has three first year intakes which end after a duration of 30 weeks of classes. the jan intake will end in august of that year.

independent??....

fame means nothing really. im in atc and i think it sux...

wholly my personal opinion and i have my reasons...

...why the shock smilie?! im sure im not the only one. my gf studied there and hated it. im sure its overall a good college, but just not the type i enjoy being in.

haha, well, amongst other reasons, i dun like big cramped up classes, i mean i really dun like it. if they were in proper lecture halls, i wouldn't mind, but not long, narrow classes. doesnt help that i have astig and cant really see the board from where i usually sit. and no, it's thoroughly impossible for me to be there half an hour before class starts just to get a good seat. did that once, realize half an hour is still not enough. and i think they're clp scholarship for performance is a dumb thing to award though obviously a marketing move by a purported "course leader". im still not sure whether that's what they offer to all students, but no one has clarified with me yet.

and im sorry but i dun like the location as compared to my previous col. it's hard to get good food within the time frame allowed for breaks, since my personal options are limited. and if it's raining heavily, well, you're stuck there. A couple of my tutors are mediocre as well, bragging about their practicing and lecturing experience (or their positions) when they cant deliver well enough. the core lecturers at ATC are good, but with the numbers, for tutorials, most find themselves with the others with mix feedback.

i also dun like the fact that i cant seem to get printed notes. the lecturers seem to run out of them all the time, so i've got to photocopy my own. do they print exact numbers? and i cant seem to get hold of them when i want notes. maybe it's just my luck, but well, i dun see why they cant just give us several modules each time for the subjects. obviously saving money or protecting their cash flow. or they could have a central point where students collect notes from. workload for that area may increase, but at least students will not have to chase lecturers instead for the printed notes.

i was from nirwana, which had its own problems then. im in ATC KL atm. no, not having a hard time coz i seldom go for classes. but when i do, i get annoyed.


...and i think u meant the UM ext BoJ as stated by Jhong...

recommended private colleges offering law:

1) ATC
2) BAC
3) INTI
4) HELP
5) KDU
6) Taylors (uni of Reading)

if u are considering UOL ext, then i suggest considering Mentari as well. they all have informative websites...

there's an ielts thread somewhere. anyway, i sat for the GT IELTS in December. dun worry about it, just make sure you get alot of rest the nite before because u need to be alert and the entire test may take a long time to complete as the speaking test is done hours later that day. i was at the hall at 8am, and did my speaking test at 2pm. if you're not attending any courses or seminars for test preparation, i suggest at least getting the sample test book. if you speak english regularly, it shouldn't be a problem, though honestly, i found the reading test a lil hard...which is bad since im a law student....

a llb from kings vs a uol ext llb....no doubt the former would be more recognised and have higher regard...we are kidding ourselves if we think they're the same...


i have not personally collected my forms yet from ATC KL, but according to a friend, the fees payable RM4410.60...

yes, it's ridiculous....


and sorry, my friend got it wrong, it is 4110.60, guess it's standard throughout malaysia....

congrats

well lets hope u do well, but as stated above a min of two principal passes will allow u to enrol for the uol llb external prog. which college to recommend to u will depend on a number of factors incl whether u intend to study overseas. would be pointless to recommend colleges like taylors if u definitely want to stay in malaysia throughout.

well, i do self study, but i register at colleges as well (mainly because my parents made me to, but dun tell them i said this). I hardly ever go to classes (again, dun tell them). it's actually quite tough self studying for the course, because the main problem i face is i dunno what i should focus on. The syllabus itself is not difficult to cover, but alot of material in textbooks are irrelevant. And subject guides at times may not identify certain areas or key cases that u need to know. i cant remember any specifics now, but i do remember facing some problems there. This is where being registered at a college helps for a self study student, but of course, merely having friends doing so would be sufficient to give u some guidelines. besides, i didn't know about lyn back then...if u have any questions on law u cud just ask here as well.

intermediate is quite easy, tho the boredom of studying CLRI for me kinda made it diff. It doesn't matter how well u do anyways as long as u pass well enuf, unless u want to try your best and target scholarships/book prizes.

dun worry about age la...why would it be tough? unless you're like 55 and thinking of retiring soon....

if u want to register for another subject just go there and do so. they definitely wun create a fuss...

i dun think MMU's llb is recognized by the qualifying board since there has yet to be any reports since the evalution in sept 08 unless i've missed something.

....and fyi, just because the llb is 4 years and is similar to gov unis, doesn't make it automatically exempted from the CLP. i think that was the assumption made by many MMU (and UUM) law students when they enrolled....either that, or they assumed that the respective colleges would definitely get recognition eventually, but well....it has yet to be.

good to know that you're waiting for the confirmation before enrolling....
