Can i know is it the whole SAM course cost RM8550-RM10000?Which university or college offer this price?I had asked a famous private college it cost RM9895 1st semester..

I had check up a few private colleges locally. Found that the price had not agree with wat is mention above. It costs much more than wat is mentioned. Around 18k.

I think many of us would be glad if there is a list of fees for the pre-U courses.

The course fees are increasing years by years and it's impossible for us to list out the fees because we couldn't get it as easy as you think.We can't even check through online and the fees sometimes doesnt include the examination fees so please understand.

Sorry and thank you.

For S.A.M what university recognised this cource and if i
study S.A.M where can i furthur my studies after that ?

yeah..10k 4 1 sem..hu2~

why the fees is so expensive?
is that mean,the matriculation was held at overseas??
adakah sama matrik ini dan matrik tempatan?

SAM is recognised in most overseas countries and also in local private universities...
Obviously SAM is done in M'sia unless one would opt to do it overseas...
However,after ending the course,one could further their studies abroad or locally depends on their TER...

SAM can be done in Taylor College but of course the price is quite high i guess. I am going to take this course after SPM in taylor college.( If my result allowed me to)

I think it is expensive because it is faster than foundation. SAM only takes 9months

actually i find its not faster as they finish exams in november and results come out in jan the next year. if your going to australia in august its good but all other countries take students in sept thus there is a long wait.
there are some foundations that begin in jan and end by sept thus saving a year but its for specific programmes like medicine
if i have to wait till the next year for entry id rather a levels or if i can save time foundation

is there business and management course in SAM? Is taylor the only place to do SAM?

could you let me know the subjects to be taken in SAM for furthering medicine, and i understand that SAM is recognised in india but not AUSMAT.
SO how would i know that we r taking the right course.

which are the universities that recognise SAM..n whats its difference wif a levels...where can i study after doing SAM??

i'm now taking SAM, and thinking if i should take up specialist mathematics. I heard from most ppl it's a difficult course. Is it so? Is it similar to add maths?

does the college itself provides a scholarship in pursuing the SAM???

wat college offer the lowest fee in studying SAM??

can you introduce of a college has SAM foundation with the fee about 10k ??
