Please , dont ever take 2 , it is too risky .
I took 2 last year with the thinking that i wont fail since i nvr fail before ,haha...
I sat for AS level in NOV 2007 and got 2 passes which one of it is an "e" for sociology and a "c" for law .
When i sat for A2 levels in MAY/JUNE 2008 , I failed one subject which is sociology and that stopping me form pursue my LLB.

I was shocked and looking for solutions . There is an suggestion from my college , they advised me to resit for A2 Sociology and i almost follow their advise . However , i come across to a question . If i resit , will my A-level result be considered as 2 passes in one sitting ? No one is my college can answer that , even BAC .

I therefore made a decision to take another subject which i have confident to do it - Chinese before OCT/NOV Exams . Besides , i also took all AS+A2 together for Law and Sociology which make a total of 11 papers to make sure i will get my 2 passes in one sitting . Yes , I got to revise all those things again , ELS + Tort + COntract . I study like hell to make sure i am in the right track. I have forgotten all AS stuff and yet i have to study everything all over again . I also have to cope back Tort and Contract and A2 sociology after a holiday that last for almost 3 months. It was so suffering !!!


The results were out in last 21st Jan and i was so lucky that i finally got through , i got overall a A,Band D .

If you dont wanna get into mine situation , i strongly suggest you not to take only 2 subjects . Or you gotta have 150% of confidence to pass it .

Hi everyone,

I heard from a friend that MMU Melaka is offering 4yrs LLB course which is similar to the one in gov unis - which means you are exempted from CLP after your LLB.

How true is that? And if yes, is it recognized by the Qualifying Board?

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.

Sociology Class has been canceled because the passing is damn low which will affect their reputation . So, they dont want their student to take it.
Just tell them what you want, and of course you have to pay extras for that. However , do notice that your fees might have already included 3 subjects , if it is , then try to talk to them so you do not need to pay for the 3rd subject.

In accordance to BAC , Business Studies is a subject with high passing rate.
The counselor there even asked me to take Business Studies and finish it in 3 months .
I didnt take his advise though. haha...

How about Accounting ? English Literature ?

What is BE & BC?

Made a call to MMU today and I was told that the Qualifying Board have inspected their courses on Sept 08 and now are awaiting confirmation to see if able to exempt the CLP examination.

If that materializes, then I will move there immediately biggrin.gif

Anyone here know how to count CGPA for A-levels ? I took 3 subjects and i got A,B,D.

This is my personal view on the current situation, please take it with a grain of salt.

There is an access of lawyers in Malaysia.
For a junior lawyer, do not expect high salary.
If you work with a firm, expect to work in a miserable condition and you will often be abused by the senior lawyers.
If you open a firm, you will face fierce competition in the already overpopulated legal market.
Of course we often see those BIG cars with the BAR crest on it. I believe it takes no less than 20 years to achieve that.

At the end of the day, it all depends on how popular you are and your ability to win cases smile.gif
