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 . 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.

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 .
