no, i think he meant alam didnt sent him the interview letter. Meaning he is not shortlisted. I have a few of my fren whom also didnt received it.

yeah...silverchain got it right....why do you think I didnt shortlisted silverchain???

hey....u guys so interested in marine field...why not join the navy...i din noe u all have some ceremonies similar to navy too...anyways, i think the pay for working in private is much higher than navy...good luck tho...

TLDM's application is closed now, I missed it too.

In my mind, working for commercialised company is better...

btw, have anyone here applies for politeknik's marine engineering ?

I got the offer of politeknik for interviewing too..

don't worry aa people. I'm still around.

about 7.45am, I went to register in the Ballroom (Seri Pacific Hotel). Everyone must have this (original & photocopy) = IC, SPM result, School Leaving cert, and Postal Order/Money Order when registering. During the registration, they checked my BMI index, and colour bilnd (simple one, numbers and lines in colours). After that, They told us to sit in the Hall, waiting for the breifing. While waiting, they'ed shown some vids about MISC and AET. All taking marine engineering, 60 people came if i'm not mistaken, and about 4 girls were there. Before briefing start, they provided us with some breakfast.

Then about 10 o'clock, They started the briefing. There's 3 person who gave some info's and etc. 1 from MISC, 1 from AET, and 1 from ALAM. The briefing = about MISC and AET company, history, present achievement, and future plans. Then they told what career as a seafarer promises. also what ALAM is, what they offer, how are u gonna study in ALAM (Note: if u r selected to ALAM, learning style is = REGIMENTATION STYLE AKA Army-like, but don't be scared la). they explained about what path u will take to be a captain and chief eng. U CAN BRING U'R PARENTS TOO DURING THE BRIEFING
Briefing finished around 11.45am. After that they'd answered any questions related. So, if u have any questions, better ask them that time.

Right after briefing, exam starts. 30 questions on English, 20 questions on math and add math, and 20 questions on Physics.
what to prepare/tips when answering :


after exam, go for lunch (nearest there in The Mall, only across the street)
results announced at 2.38pm, ALL passed the test. Congrats!

We went for Psychometric Test after that (using Laptop). the questions is not about right or wrong, it's about who u are.

I'll be coming for interview next monday (4th of May 09). Result for interview is between last 2 weeks of June 09.

Well that is some of my experience today (30 Apr 09)
For u'r info, only 1500++ candidates are called for the interview, including candidates from East Malaysia (there's one person from Sarawak during my test). one candidate told me that his friend in ALAM told him about this.

I'll add up some later on. be prepared and good luck for u all, and wish me luck too for the coming interview!

thank you for sharing this info
for the written test, the chapters u stated is for modern math or add math ? add math right ? there wasnt any differentiation/integration ?
if add math, how about modern math ? what chapters we should put more effort ?

the questions are tricky ?

btw, wish u and we all will be gud luck in the interview session ..

man, 1500 people and 150 slots... 10% of the chances being selected ..

Add Math. They combine Modern Math and Add Math together. For Math, I'll confirm later on.
Tricky if u not prepared, no big deal if u have it all in u're mind. But don't expect it to be too easy.

i see..

for the ennglish, was it difficult ?
bro, forgot to ask u, marine engineering and nautical studies, both would have the same written test ya?

all objective right ?

That one i cannot confirm u. coz they (DNS) took the test on 29th of April, we (DME) on 30th. but in the test paper i saw some "marks". By that i guess the paper for DNS and DME is the same la.

wow, starting to get nervous ..

got intergration?

fitness no...my brother friend a couple of year ago is overweight like me are accepted to the ALAM ...and destroyer the TS said when was his time there is this one obese guy pass the induction......what do u think about that??? maybe u will say its recession time ...the academic ,I got 3a ..and all credit ...I a bm,m3 and addmath...my brother's friend who is overweight and got no A in spm couple of year ago ...still got the alam interview and got in ...whats your result anynway sacai?

physics include both calculation and concept,dont forget to remember those formula,n i dont remember any of it,just tembak2, must be luck with me,lol

physical fitness is somehow very important ... I guess nobody here is overweighted yet shortlisted ...can't really tell .
maybe u should ask ALAM regarding this...or lose some weight, apply again next year .

I have 1A in physics and math, the rest are B and C..but I quite active in curriculum though ..
so there was no formula provided ?

can I bring myself a list of formulas ?

btw, only the schools leaving cert they wanna see ?

how about curriculum/miscellaneous certs ? did they tell u all to bring certs or anything during interview session ?

oh...so is the written test all in objectives form??? Should i photostat another copy of my leaving cert???

no integration.

no formula provided. and for sure u cannot bring any formula la bro.

For Registration, remember to bring original and photocopy of IC, SPM result, School Leaving Cert, Money Order/Postal Order, and e-mail that ALAM send to you regarding the interview. This is what they want for registration. But I suggest you bring everything, just in case...
For Interview, bring what they want/everything that u have (IC, Cert's, Etc.)

All the test is in objective, and better make another copy of u'r leaving cert.

how about modern math ??

which chapters should I prepare ?

i don't think modern math is the concern. cause add math covers math as well. correct me if i'm wrong.

h3lmi. where's the details of the written test =(
