What is the main difference between AUSMAT n SAM? Which one will be more encouragable if i am planning to take overseas course in Australia aft my pre-U study locally.

basically it's the same but most of the colleges offer SAM. It's the entry requirement for those who planned to study at Aussie..

Is AUSMAT recognised as a pre university course for Medicine. Where else is it recognised other than Australia ?

If you are aiming for medicine,I dont think AUSMAT would be good because medicine is always high in demand and it doesnt require any courseworks. Mostly, Medicine students will came from A-level,Form 6 and Matricualtion (Local-U) because these 3 pre-u is going deeper compared to other pre-u courses.

how to apply this AUSMAT program?

hey i hope this information would be useful.
there are 2 major differences between sam and ausmat, which is tht sam is regulated by the south australian government and ausmat by the western australian govt. The TER is also calculated differently where sam takes into account of all 5 subjects. ausmat is slightly different where the best 4 subject is calculated, which then gives a higher ranking =D

Hi, i'm now taking ausmat at intec, shah alam, selangor. It's been 6 months now. i'm majoring in economics. And for the 2nd sem, commerce students i.e accounting and economics students are given a choice whether to take specialised math or malay studies as another additional subject. I'd love to take malay studies but my sponsor, Petronas, has obliged all its scholars to take specialised math. What's actually the most prominent reason if u take specialised math compared to malay studies? Is it more applicable or easier while applying for universities in australia?

To Anonymous,
Basically, malay studies is good when you applying for country that used malay.
Like you said that you are majoring in economic so i think it's more applicable for you to take specialised math.
I got a few friends here who are Petronas Scholar and they required to take Further math in A-level too because it's useless for them when they are doing their degree at australia.

Hi.. Like u said before, it's going to be useless for students to take malay subjects like malay studies when they are doing their pre-university as they are going to pursue their degree in australia after all right. But then, my lecturer said that malay studies will help improve our TER. Besides, it will also give us more time and space to study and revise for the other subjects. Actually for many students, the first and foremost priority is that they want to pass the TER for them to get to australia. They don't want to take some heavy subjects just because it is 'said' to help them in their degree in australia. It's not even certain that students are going to excel by taking specialised math, what's more to pass the TER to go australia. It's like, who likes maths. If u said, taking specialised math is going to help students in their degree in australia, then why bother having malay studies as an option for the commerce students?

hi,i'm a student doing my aumat prog in kbu college..
actually,from what i know,the comsulsary subject such as malaysian studies will not be included in our TER score.it is just additional subjects that u hav to learn and pass the examination.
like me for instant,i learn malaysian studies and islamic studies only for 6 month,then sit for the exam.basically u just have to pass the minimum score of 50% i think, then u will be just fine.

can i get more information bout study and career planning in engineering??
mybe that info will help me in future

I applied for social science and I managed to get the JPA scholarship. I'll be doing AUSMAT in KBU. I want to get a degree in English Literature. What subjects do I have to take while doing AUSMAT? Based on the list, the only subject directly related is English Studies. Do I have to take science and maths too just to make it 5 subjects?

I m going to do ausmat at kbu tis july..

KBU offers these subjects for AUSMAT students:
applicable mathematics, calculus, bio, phy, chem, economics, accounting, information systems and german.

Hello all! ;) i really need some advice on choosing the right pre U. I'm form 5 this yr as well. Like John, i am still contemplating whether to take SAM or ALevels. I'm also really interested in doing medicine. Well, many say tht if u intend to do ur med in UK, ALevels gives u a better chance in applyin for med course. For my condition, i dont really intend to go to UK (yea, it's far, and the weather is sorta extream, dont like cold tht much) So i received an advice fr a yr 1 med student (he did A Levels), tht if i choose A Lvl, i would be wasting a yr or more AND money. bcuz most intake is in Jan for med. Also, the 1st yr in med would be the repetition of their Alvl content. As such, SAM student have to struggle more compared to Alvl's. So i am thinking, M'sia top U tht offer med course (such as Monash) would they prefer SAM students/ A lvl? And is it true tht we hav to get nearly perfect pts (99.00) fer SAM to enter? And is it hard to get 3A(S) fer A lvl? bcuz they (Monash) only opt fer 3A(s).

Hi. I need immediate feedback if possible. What options do i have if i don't pass the TER for the scholar but i pass the TER for the Uni in Australia? Is it possible to convert the scholarship to loan or something like that? Are there any other forms of financial aid available for me? And if i were to continue my studies locally, what are the Uni's here in Malaysia which Ausmat students can enter, but 2nd year?
