Form 6 ar... The classes can be quite mixed up coz 5 passes including BM would get you into F6. It can be a good thing if you really really wanna prove yourself once more, but really really bad if you want a class of classmates of similar standard. Believe me you won't believe the kind of students that would enroll themselves into F6.
One thing to be proud of F6 is that you HAVE private and foreign universities to fall back to IF you do not get the result for IPTA or course that you want. For A Levels you HAVE TO continue degree in private and foreign universities.
And nothing beats the pride of saying you've done F6 when ppl ask you.

lol IMO you can easily work part time if yer doin F6. You end skool at 1.30 or 2PM MAX, everyday. Unless you're talkin about staying back for other stuff. You can easily work a 6 or 7 hour shift there. Of coz when studying is concerned I dun think you'll be interested in getting a part time job.
Speaking of rules, rules are there for a reason. Why bother to play with hairstyles when you're supposed to be focusing on studying? Rules on mobile phones differ from skool to skool. I guess as long as the basic rules are followed (hair, attire, timing) you won't get into trouble coz the skool will shut an eye on wut yer doin. Afterall you're an adult, technically speaking.
My 2 cents. If you're going to study practically the same thing in both F6 and A Levels, why pay more to study the same thing? You're still going to put in the same amount of effort. You are even given the opportunity to further your studies for FREE locally, with the chance to further in foreign or private universities of your choice if you choose to decline the IPTA course. All those paid by your and your parent's taxes (you pay taxes when you buy stuff, 5% gov tax?). Why pay more lah?
Go enjoy your post-SPM days while you still can. LOL.

NOo..... DO NOT GO INTO F6 thinking it's your last choice. You're better off learning some skills. You'll screw not juz yourself but your class as well if you go in thinking it's your last choice. You drag everybody down. If F6 is your last choice, go learn to repair handphones or cars or something.
And why would the difficulty of an exam be the indicator for acceptance? All Pre-U exams are difficult to an extent. They are not easy for a reason. Think about it, after Pre-U it'll be degree and then it'll be the working environment. They has gotta make it hard. It's gonna involve somebody's life or money in some way or another!
Easy way out = foundation (provided you know what to do already) Bright way out = A levels or STPM Cheap way out = STPM (or A levels wit a scholarship) Better way out = ASEAN scholarship or some international scholarship or some scholarship given by some big guns. Best way out = make your pillow higher and think about it b4 you go to sleep.

It's a pointless subject coz what we're studying is not what it was meant to be. Not labeling the origin does get you 6/15. But title wrong will get you 2/15 if i'm not mistaken. Kena before. For example 'bla bla bla Hingga 2008" but if 2008 is only tahun anggaran but you didn't denote it den straight 2/15. I forgot whether it's 6/15 or 2/15 but the ruling is quite stupid.
Not to mention the passage from which the data was supposedly obtained from is usually messy and ambiguous. Sometimes reading the same sentence twice will give you 2 different way of interpreting the data.

Hrmm... There's something I would like to say about the waste time if didn't get enough CGPA. Wouldn't it be logical to assume that that someone wouldn't do well in other courses as well if he fails MISERABLY in STPM?
Snap out of saying STPM is wasting time already. Pre-U's are supposed to take at least another year out of your life.
And getting a BCC result is good enough to enroll into private U degree courses that aren't too academic-intensive.
grades -> C- = principle pass aka ngam ngam pass. Any grade above is pass and any grade below is fail, or not good enough. C- is around 49-45. 5 marks for every grade above and below. 80 A, 75 A-, 35 D-.
enrollment -> can check thru the MOE webbie when the time comes (Mid May). Print out that letter can direct register in the school.
Regarding IPTA, I wouldn't count my future on them offering me a course. Sounds stupid to do F6 when I dun even count on IPTA, but I don't see why I can't. It's another Pre-U anyway.

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.

QUOTE(SkyHermit @ Feb 2 2011, 09:34 AM) 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? 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? Added on February 2, 2011, 11:01 am +Feb 2 2011, 10:39 AM--> QUOTE(kyan  @ Feb 2 2011, 10:39 AM) 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. Depends on individual universities. Some got give discount. This post has been edited by DJFoo000: Feb 2 2011, 11:02 AM
