Yes. A lot of people think anything from Western countries must be the best.

In fact, STPM is so tough and good that they have to create another thing called matriculasi. Now you know why.

Even though I have not taken STPM myself, I think they are even tougher than A Level. With STPM, everything is dependent on that 1 final examination at the end of it. No resit and no split paper taking unlike A Level.

The ONLY reason why you would want to take STPM is because our local public (read...cheap in cost) universities demanded it.

Foundation is probably the easiest and fastest. But foundation is the least flexible.

Only do it if:
1. You know which university/country you wanted to go later.
2. What course you wanted to do later.

Otherwise, strongly suggest either STPM or A Levels.

Physic is one of those subject that you either

1. don't get it and it will be hell and you can't even get thro' by memorizing or

2. Understand the concept and it will will truly be a piece of cake. You don't even have to memorize and you still do ok in exam.

IMO, it's a ALL or NON type of subject.
