@@ i also a science stream student from stpm in 2003　@@
i graduate now.
wat i want to say hmm
dunno u all believe or not since i see my fren who are form 6 with me in the uni.
she is one of the top scorer in stpm in that year (4.0 for 5 subject)
she enter for ME( her favourite)
during her study she manage to get 4.0 all 8 semester @@ but her study style very easy. still have time to shopping, do direct sales and dating with bf always.
one of her classmate from matrix 4.0 also. this guy study hard @@ i salute also. but unfortunately he only manage to get 3.83 after finish the study.

wat i want to conclude not to offend but just wat i view
for a stpm student who manage to get 4.0, about 90% he/she can get 4 flat in his/her study
for a matrix student who manage to get 4.0, only half half (50%) can get 4.0.

wat i think is that the scope and the way of pre-U system conduct is differently and the thing learning in each pre-u system slightly different.

yup in matrix life like uni but since i also study uni b4 i know the trick. assignment yes need we finish but we can get guidance also from the lecturer. u all say report need to pass up. yup also. hard to rest.
but in stpm also alot of report need to do, we not dun have report like u all. beside that, we also have to memorize the thing over an over again.
i try b4 take my stpm exam paper for my fren who sitting matrix to do. remark oh.. they chinese and score 4.0 in matrix. but they cant even solve more than 70%.

wat i want to say, not we stpm student look down on matrix, just we feel the not fair system from the goverment to us compare to matrix.
