Edexcel A-level also uses this system. You have indirectly criticized Edexcel board.

Form 6 advantage of course is to enable people to get in Local University but it depends on whether you are being selected or not. another one would be it is cheaper compared to other pre-u programme. disadvantage would be takes more times and also no guarantee a place in local U...if you want to do courses which are commonly found in other colleges i suggest you to go for other pre-u which can let u finish faster

well i just think that if this system is implanted in stpm then it wll deteriorate its original standard, but not on other examination that are practising the system originally

anyway if you are offended then i apologize
and there are a few typo in my previous post that i had edited. no offence for any missunderstanding caused

if usin sem system, STPM & A lvl will hv 3 sem, while matriks hv 2 sem... matriks lose oso.

my points exactly. not just edexcel, but technically a lot of other internationally recognized examinations as well.




here's a thought: what's stopping STPM leavers from forgetting what they've learned after getting their results?

nothing.

so whether it's semester format or ultimate exam format, it wont make a difference if they WANT to forget.

and take a guess how all the universities assess their students.

wanna ask about perakaunan text book.
Is FRANK WOOD'S BUSINESS ACCOUNTING 2 contain the syllabus for form 6?

Dude, you just double post...you really need answer eh? I forgot to mention it must have the syllabus if the book thickness is >2 inch. but you gonna die reading/memorize it.

my mum forced me to study form 6.. okay, i mean wants but not forced lol

Ah, so its still your choice. Best way right now is to talk to people around you on STPM and also diploma/IPTS student.

After careful analysis, go with the one that with your personality. But I bet its too late now...

Good luck!

Think properly then. Aim: Not to enter Local IPTA, but aim to go other countries ( NUS). Means, get 4.0 n apply other countries local U.

im a bumi , so if i hv good results or just average result
can i apply at any IPTA?

As long as you meet the minimum requirement.

What's the minimum CGPA to enter a uni?

form 6! here i come!!
since i didn't get matriculation

Mnimum cgpa? im not sure about this, But they'll filter you...

but surely.. bumi will stand a better chance... even their results arent tat good compared to other races.. haiz.. not to be racist... but i kinda hate da system now.. dang.. +

But you could do nothing right? It's life mate.

we can always go to other countries

And yes,there're a minimum requirement of 2.0 CGPA in order for the IPTAs and USM will be slightly higher than others...

I think you kinda misunderstand the concept of the modular system. The thing is something like you say, break up into 3 semesters, each sem we take a few topics, test on it and after that your home free.. However the topics that are thought in STPM is still the same, meaning you don't lose out.. Whatever u learn in the current system, you'll learn in the future system, only difference is that instead of jamming it all into 1 major exam, you break it down into 3 smaller exams.

Furthermore, you cannot simply forget what u've learnt from your previous sems, as they are related to each other.. So to me, it might degrade STPM slightly because the modular system will lessen the burden of the students but it'll still be one of the toughest pre-u exams in the world because of it's syllabus..

So yeah, nothing much we can do about it.. We can only pray and hope for the best.. Who knows, maybe they might change the system in the near future..

Added on April 17, 2009, 11:45 amGoing overseas is a tough decision, requires money and you able to qualify to enter the uni.. What about those who do not meet the requirements of that uni? Where do they go from there?

Yep, agree that going outside to other country is a option. But the question remain why our own country cannot accept us for who we are?

Not all people have the money to pay for the cost.When will our country learn it...

Btw, wasn't Najib propose 1Malaysia concept, it's quite an irony.
