QUOTE(lordblood @ Apr 17 2009, 11:42 AM) 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..
Added on April 17, 2009, 11:44 amThe quota system has it flaws and yes non-bumis do suffer at times because of this.. However this is already in the constitution.. 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? batusai , this is malaysia lol , go f6 or private college if tak puas hati |

QUOTE(Ibrahimovic @ Apr 22 2009, 05:02 PM) NS camp should be more concern for the education of the student. now the non-NS student got to miss their lesson. The only thing NS teach is marching. Lol, NS shows on TV that they got kayaking and flying fox etc. but most still don't have one  NS camp is actually a good thing.. Depending on how u look at it.. However back in those days when they were no NS, F6 and local uni started as early as in March.. Which is so much more better.. LOL!! Ever since NS was implemented everything has been postponed just to accommodate the 2nd batch of NS trainees.. And most trainees in the 2nd usually fail to complete their training because they come out one month early to enter college, F6, matriculation, etc.. Which is a waste and defeats the purpose of NS.. Haiz.. Better not have NS like that.. |

Yep, NS is a good thing but I guess the implementation is too hurried and not organize properly. It could be very good to every school leaver but the only camp that have the proper facility is Camp Puteri Haliza which is the one the celebrity goes, other than that is very poor. |

Actually if ur result good in stpm, sure can get a place in uni. Those who can't get a place in public uni is cos they screw up their stpm. Government is fair. Btw i m against these modular system. I did the conventional-jam-everything-final exam, and i strongly feel it's better.
modular system is for wussies and unfair.

ya lor, but dun apply the courses that u dont wan la... apply all that u wan, and if u get, u still get. therefore cannot complain. and there is option that ask if u ok anot if they offer u other than 8 courses u selected (or now 12 edi? waaa), so if u agree, also cannot complain.
just do well, get >3.5, sure can get at least ur 1st 4 choices wan. apply only those u wan. i hear many ppl complain form 6 hard, not fair, etc. blame everyone but not themselves.
modular system sux because 1) reduce difficulty of stpm, 2) if u accidentally screw up 1st sem, how good u do later can't cover --> where got mood do properly 2nd sem when u noe it's still screwed? 3) not fair for those who did stpm pre-changes 4) already got matric for that. not happy, go matric. cant get place, go private.
and from what i read and know about these 'extra classes' activities for form 6 nowadays... totally rubbish and waste of time. blah blah

phone up the relevant school? Most schools offer the basic combo of PA+MathsT+ Chemistry + Phyics/Biology. I know Katholik opens class for ppl who take all 5 subs.
Not sure about the humanity stream.
For specialised subjects like computing and literature, you need to phone up the ministry i guess.

^Of course you can..but you need a tuition teacher if possible and your principal permission .I studied math s and it is quite hard for paper 1. the excel is really really difficult T___T you really need strong kwledge in addmaths f4/5. my math s teacher here is very quick in teaching and she held class tutorials for a month(which is from nov-mid december) for her students which will continue taking math s next year.lucky me i don't take anymore next year i will not be taking math s. so i will have just four subjects next year to continue.. and on top of that,you must know what course you really want to take.i see that you interested in being as accountant.so take combo of acc and eko will do enough. adding Pengajian perniagaan is not necessarily. check ipta where you wish to go after stpm and what are their subjects requirements.

With the current liberation, even if you have A-Level, you are still considered STPM Equivalent to apply for a degree course in local university. Of course, those who have their eyes on private institution right after high school would continue their education in such institution. Perhaps, furthering studies overseas or to enroll in an external programme.
Sadly, as much as we wanted to study the preferred course, we have to be prepared to be given our alternative choices.
The best solution would be to obtain excellent results and apply for a scholarship to study at a university/colleges of your choice.
Unless you're an average student, you need to strive harder in STPM. 2 years time wasted due to bad results might have a significant costs later when you do your degree.
