true...im scared too...n my results aint gud

F6 is not about time consuming, it is a preparation process to handle degree.

matriculation or f6. which one better? but in term of subjects have been thought is almost same ryte

depends on what you mean by "better"

STPM is more recognised; but matriculation is less stressful (i wont say easier because i dont want to butthurt ppl )

Most of the time, when you enter Uni, you'll be able to distinguish those who studied F6 and Matriculation easily haha
Where the former will have problems mingling with people and adjusting to Uni life but no problems in terms of studies;
whereas the latter will be the other way around hehe

I have questions regarding to SPM.

1) Is Chemistry a compulsary subject for science stream students? In my secondary school, there are Biology and Physics classes for Form 6 but there is no Chemistry class so I wonder is Chemistry a compulsary subject for both Bio and Phy students?

2) As far as I know, before enrolling into form 6 we have to choose 9 courses from 1st(your favourite) to 9th(least favourite). Is this 'list of courses' only useful if you successfully enter local government uni? I mean if we do not enter local government uni, we are free to choose the course we want(but must related to the subjects we take) right?

If I take F6 and manage to secure a 4.0.
Would private unis or insitutions consider to give me a scholarship.
If I don't want to enter public Uni that is.

If I want to save the 30+ thousand on private college Pre-U but go to a private U.

I assume you meant 'STPM' instead of 'SPM'.

1) Chemistry is a compulsory subject. Bio class and Physics class study Chemistry as well.

2) Apbenda ni?

hi there, can anyone please give me some advice. i applied for ipta and got an offer to study diploma in mecatronic engineering at UniMAP. i am having a dilema here. should i go for it or should i go form 6. Is Unimap good?

let me help you to answer question no.2
there is no "what before enrolling into form 6 we have to choose 9 courses from 1st(your favourite) to 9th(least favourite)".i think this should be after getting the result,when you want to apply UPU,that time you only need to choose.
by the way i just want to say that you can study whatever course you like in IPTS even though that really got something need to choose before enrolling form 6.no one will force you,this is your own future,not others.and yes,you are right,it is only useful in IPTA,not in IPTS.
some certain courses also no need related to the subject you are taken,eg:public relation,graphic design,broadcasting etc.but for certain subject,you must need the requirement,eg:like accounting,you must taking perakaunan in stpm even if you study at IPTS also,if not,they will called you to study back their foundation program.

but for your information,you need to maintain ur result if you want to continue "enjoyed"ur scholarship as there will just give you the scholarship for 1st semester.if u didn't score well in your 1st semester exam ,your scholarship will be taking back.

hi.. if result very very bad..which cgpa 2.0 ( physics C- , maths T D) still got chance for me to enter engineering field?

You need to rethink what exactly you want to do for your future. I don't know you at all, so I'll just assume you don't really study hard, that's why you have this result. If you still want to do engineering and really really interested with it, it's time for you to sit down and think of pathway to ensure you get what you want.

P/S: Are you around Penang? You can go to The Star Education Fair this Saturday and Sunday.

Cheers.

owhh..thanks noted ~

the advantage of enrool for form 6 is you can
1)get in to local government university
2)free
3)recognised by all
disadvantage
1)it is quite hard
2)you have to sure you can get cgpa at least 3.84 and above to get your desire course
if you a chinese for (mbbs course) and (accounting) course you have to get 4.00 and 3.92 to ensure you to get a place in gov uni.if u get 3.8 and stiil offered a place , you are considered luky.
it is harder foi bio student to get 4.00

you must sure to get a cgpa of 3.00 above (tats b for all subject) or else you will be wasting two years studying form 6. this is because the minimam entry requirement for privert universityfor most critical course is 3.++.

if you get below 3.00 you can still go for local pendidikan course. if you dont want then, they still have other (ca plang) course to offer you. if you just looking for a degeree then its okey .

u have to get all principal to ensure you a place in local gov uni.

if you are very sure which undergraduate course to take i suggest you to take foundation. save more time.

if you aim to study overseae, stpm and a lvl is okey but forstpm i suggest you to take an addition physics subject if you a bio student, because for medicine overseas they require all 3 science sbject for example ( manipal melacca)

i am a stpm leaver year 2011. for the toughness of new version of stpm(semester system) i am not sure, when i took stpm it was still the old version. hope this will help you on deciding to enrool in form six of other pre u course.

So I hear they change "form 6" to "Persediaan Pra-university" or simply "PPU".

STPM - if you get good grade or CGPA you can straight get your place in degree course at any university, inside or outside Malaysia. But fierce competition is fierce though~

Matriculation (except for IIUM Matriculation/Center of Foundation Study - CENFOS) - if you get lower then you expected, you may end up taking diploma at any local U. But if you're good, probably you can skip your degree and take master's instead! (I don't know this even a myth or real).

My suggestion, take STPM if you're not confident enough with your SPM results. Take matriculation if you think you want to test your interest before going to any university...

hehehe.....sorry for interrupting,i just want to ask how to apply for form 6? Automatically will be elected for it or need to apply for it? My bro said letter would be sent to form 6 candidates but it was like 3 years ago incident....So can anyone affirm regarding on this matter?

Auto. Either they will send you a letter or you can go back to your old school to get the letter. There's website for you to check (not open yet), IIRC you can print out the letter. My school gave the letter but some received through post.

guys any idea when form 6 for 2011 spm batch will start?

Lower 6 should start around June..

8th of May confirmed
