You cant blame her for that. I dun think she knows about A-level examinations well.

The cert only have CIE logo and the subjects taken with grade of course.

1st, if this is tuition center, make it clear. Your thread title said " A level in 6 months" making other to think that your center acts as a college/uni to OFFER other 6month course.Do remember, tuition and course is 2 different things.

2nd, I purposely highlighted the word typically.Thus, I can see it clearly.Anyway, quoted again from CIE site



360hours.I don't think 6months can cover that...Erm, 6hours a day?



I found this funny when you only come to agree to people that support your tuition center (ops, I said it out). Come to think of it, who knows whether this will do wonder?Even if your centre are certified, you are merely 23years old.Do you have the qualification to teach students?

Private candidates or not? It doesnt matter.The course SHOULD be conducted in 9months.Just because it's your tuition center making it 6, doesnt mean it's legally recognized.And you are making it sound like A level is approved to be done in 6 months.Indirectly, you are sending out wrong message and what then? Other trying to finish A level in one month? One week? Funny.

Added on February 23, 2009, 1:30 amYea.I don't know it well because I already passed with flying colours years ago...Correct...You are right...You are the only one know it well then...

Added on February 23, 2009, 1:36 amFrom the 1st post until the last post, TS never even mention private candidates before.Plus, his posts make it sound like a course more than a tuition.What a way of MISLEAD others.

Found another problem. No maths base. Still say pass with flying color. I think it should be coloring contest.



That is what you think. Let do some maths here. 1 month = 30 days, 6 months = 30 X 6 = 180 days, 360 hours divide by 180 days = 2 hours per day. =.='
In other words, 1 month cover 60 hours, mean 1 week is 15 hours and one day is 3 hours.

I m saying 6 hours because I dont think anyone want 7 day long classes. Even a tuition center will take a rest.


Plus, I m not so free like you to take calculator out to calculate.I have better things to do.And for your information, I'm a law student.I don't take maths and of course I don't care much about calculating.

From the beginning, your posts are misleading the others.You are just promoting your own tuition center and defending your center for your own sake.Money comes 1st and other people's future, you don't seem like care. You made it sound like that's a college offering the course at 6months(a cut-length A level compared to others) but you failed to mention it's a tuition center until few posts later.Your thread title also mislead others.And you NEVER mention private candidates for god sake.

You failed to spot that he didn't state College or University as well. FYI 6 months to complete A levels is possible and it is indeed a recognised certificate. However do bear in mind the local universities do not accept A levels, whether 6 months or the full 1.5/2 years as far as I know. Maybe they make exceptions, maybe not but usually no. STPM is what you need to get into the Degree courses in local Unis and SPM for Diploma but I guess you know about that already.

Also, another thing is that, even though this Intellizone place isn't a full fledge college or uni, I am studying in a small college in JB and my seniors completed their A levels in 6 months. Although this isn't generally encouraged due to the workload but it IS possible. Register for the exam, study and sit for it. That's how it is. Private candidate or not, as long you're studying for the exam, you're a student. Oh and FYI, I already took and completed my A levels in ten months.

MOE recognised or not it doesn't matter for Pre-Uni qualifications. You'll not get into local universities but then even if you were aiming for local unis, why bother with A levels? There's the cheaper alternative of STPM isn't there? Recognition is much more important towards Diplomas and Degrees as you'll be using them instead during job applications.

You're a law student, yet you fail to find out in depth about the facts before criticizing others. Word play is common in law, he didn't state college/university and you assumed it to be the other way. Knowing the law doesn't mean you've automatically become all omniscient. Just because you are a law student, all the more reason you should be mindful of such matters and not blabber around that you're a law student just because you don't care about calculation.

You don't care about mathematics doesn't generalise that ALL law students don't care about it.

1) Your first point , Local Universities dont accept A-levels . In fact , they accept it now for some of the undergraduate courses . I myself is now applying a degree program in UM and i did my A-levels last year .

2) We all knew that 6 months is possible but again , it depends on individuals . If ones intend to further his/her studies in M'sia , his A-levels will not be recognised by MOE . Whereas if ones planning to study overseas like UK , sure ! 6 months plan is the best if he wanted to finish his pre-u earlier . Well , whether he will get through or pass with flying colour is another question which i dont think it's significant to discuss it here . Seriously. 6 months is quite risky. 9months or 10 months is okay so i wont be surprise when u said u did ur A-lvls in 10 months . What i am curious about is , why you bring in the fact that u did A-lvl in 10 months when it has nothing to do with the discussion of 6 months A-levels .

3) You see , i am an A-levels holder but now i am apply for LLB in UM . You generalise this issue as well, there might be other factors for someone who sat for A-levels but aim for IPTA . I will soon become a law student , the reason i take A-levels is because A-levels offer Law as a subject whilst STPM doesnt . Taking up law is important since i will know whether can i cope with law .

4)I think what solsctice meant is that law student doesnt care about calculation since its all about words and phrases. Generally , law student dont go in depth in calculation. But , we will when there is a need for that . We do'nt need math to score. The word 'CALCULATE' here may not necessary to be math . So , we still count and calculate whether we have enough of points , facts and evidence to support our arguments .

Alright just wanna cut the tension here for a while....Since you can complete A level in 6 months i do have one question....From what i have been informed, students taking A level needs to go through 2 exams that is only held once a year each before officially being recognized as completed A level so how is it possible to finish it in 6 months? I am just asking cause i don't really know as much as you guys know about A level... Thanks

fakerz, I think they'll sit for the AS and A2 papers all at one shot, it is possible.
Eg: Register with the board in January, complete the exams in June.

6 months is definitely a super short duration of time,whoa. O.O
TS, is there a max. number of subjects the students are allowed to take then?

As long as those subjects dont clash with each other on the timetable, why not??

Just for curiosity's sake, no attack meant =)

It's not the scheduling conflict that poses the problem here. Squeezing say...4 subjects into six months takes a LOT of dedication and hard work-it's compressing what basically is a 2 year course into 1/4th of the time recommended. Personally, I'd prefer to pace myself but if some are willing to make it at breakneck speed,why not? *shrugs*

I see i see thanks...means to say for 4 subjects one shot in June they take like 8 papers? 2 for each subject? lol...well i guess u are right if ppl wanna rush it then it's up to them....Well at any case for those who still wanna study and work in Malaysia after A lvl, just make sure everything u take from A lvl to your degree is MQA approved =)

there are 'cramp' colleges in uk itself, where they fast track students through the syllabus and prepare for exams (a2) in 1 year......much of this intensive coaching is as much in content, as in exam techniques......AS is not compulsory.....

but i don't know if it is possible to do this in 6 months!

1) This is something new to me as I do not really update myself concerning the local institution matters. I have nothing to say about this, I did state that it was as far as I knew. And I'm sure it's news to some other people as well.

2) The issue of whether the individual's A levels being recognised by MOE or not isn't an issue if you want to further your studies in Malaysia. In fact the only problem I can see from that is that the individual won't be able to get into local universities. Private institutions in Malaysia only care whether you meet their minimum criteria (3 Principals or Credits in related subjects most of the time). But as I've said, if the individual wanted to go for local universities, that person might as well opt for STPM instead. And the reason I stated about my completion of A levels is just for solstice's information just in case she says something related about it, nothing relevant I know; just a FYI.

3) The usual bunch of students opting for A levels do not apply to local universities but instead other private institutions/overseas. However, I have not come across your case before where A levels can be used to apply for local universities. This is related to point #1. How long have they been doing this, I have no idea either. It's latest news for me.

4) To calculate is to count, either way in solstice's statement, the word calculate, however you interpret it; it will still lead to the meaning of calculating in numbers. Reread her statement. The way she puts it is as if just because she's a law student, she's automatically categorised into the no mathematics person. However this is not entirely true don't you think? It's like saying students of law will become lawyers, which of course, is not true. Some become legal consultants and some go into another field that's not really related to law.

There shouldn't be a problem here.

It's just an exam that comes with an external certificate. The government doesn't come into the question so does the duration of the course.

It's not an issue here and there shouldn't be any discussion over this.

whether ipta (in this case, um) will accept a msian with a-levels into a critical course remains to be seen, i believe it is early days yet, the stpm results is not even out, let along applications started.......

The amount of papers depends on the subject itself, eg. Accounting 4 papers (2 for AS and 2 for A2), Economics 4 papers as well. So it will be 16 papers at one go if you sit for 4 subjects and each of them 4 papers. General Paper only has AS and Business Studies only has 3 papers (2 for AS and 1 for A2).

EDIT: Besides, I think we've gone far enough with the offtopic.

from http://intelligentzone.blogspot.com..

" Yes, your eye have no problem at all. We do offer you a certified A Level Education in just half a year time. As you can see, most of the universities around the world that offer A Level Education takes up a minimum 1.5 YEAR to complete an A Level Education which is considered a waste of time MOST of the time.

Why others have to spend up to 1.5 Years to finish A Level Education? This is rather simpler. For example, normally you are being instructed by the colleges or universities to take up only maximum 12 to 15 credit hour per semester (half a year). Average per day you only study up to 2 go 3 hours per day. In fact, you might not even have 3 hours full where there are rest time and breaks between it. In this case, it is surely a waste of time. One day you have almost 12 hours for your daily activities and you only used up 3 hours to study in class? What about the rest of the time? Sleep? Eat? Surfing the net? Gaming? THEY ARE ALL WASTING OF TIME.

What we offered here is different. Minimum 4 to 5 credits hour per day you have to study in class for A Level Education. Most of the students will surely deny this statement because everyone do not like to study so HARD. However, please think in dept whether is it worth it to study HARD now then later. Our intensive course will allow you to enter to the society early than others and you are able to gain more than 1 year experience more compared to the others. You see the benifits here? Everything we planned here is for you to be ahead than others who choose to be ordinary.

Therefore, we hope that you are not the ordinary one and able to make a smart choice to excel yourself in a faster pace and advance yourself in just 6 MONTHS time. For more information, you can always contact us here. "


YES, MY EYE HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL!

actually, my friend is doing this too in Stamford college, I think

Joined today to promote own tuition center, eh?

I hope your eyes have no problem reading this.

The A level exam is on May/June.How could you possibly enter medical studies and other courses when that particular time, you are having your exam and your result will only come out months later(normally around 2 months)

From the start, the post itself already TRY to con mislead others. I hope you don't have eyes problem when reading this.

Added on February 23, 2009, 6:06 pmIs true that he did fail to mention that it is a college/uni.But his post, from the 1st to the last, he failed to mention it's for private candidates.Also, he put in the word "program" instead of "tuition".The way he put it sounds like his center is some sort of colleges that offer A LEVEL COURSE.Keyword, course. Course and tuition are two different things.In this case, he is saying tuition for private candidates(yes, he again, failed to mention this).

6months A Level is possible.Even if you wanna take it in a month, you can.But, will all this affect your chance of getting scholarships offered by local bodies /government.Keyword: scholarship.Under the rules of MOE, 9months is the least.Under CIE exam board, you should at least have 360 hours of guided training.These are facts.You can't deny it.

I'm a law student which is why I backs every single things I said with facts and proof.I even provided the number of MOE in previous posts.And practically, let me tell you this, law students(mostly) don't care much about maths.
