NOT EVEN YOUR NICKNAME! which made us difficult to help coz we couldn't address the answer directly to anyone of us...<BR/><BR/>2. we are willing to help, but before that can you help yourself by reading the previous somments as many .. i mean MANY questions that you asked have already been asnwered before... so please do read the comments for your specified questions... if really not featured then you are most welcomed to ask!<BR/><BR/>So now finally i can begin answering some questions...<BR/><BR/>@Natalie: To clarify AGAIN, please ask the minimum requirement for Form 6 admission. The requirement is counted in Aggregate point, which means for every grade you earn in your SPM, the best (3-5, i forgot) subjects will be taken into calculations and to be admitted in Form 6 you must not exceed some aggregate points. Example: to enter Form 6 Science stream if the agg. point is 18 .. means your grade must be B4-B4-B4-B4 (so total 4+4+4+4 =16, means u r qualified..) but it is just an example, for latest admission point please clarify with your school teacher/counsellor...<BR/><BR/>@Wei: you will need to worry of course if you failed ANY SUBJECTS! but it is still possible if you never failed your BM and also qualify the requirement that I'd mentioned above..<BR/><BR/>@Anonymous_no_1: Life is all about taking risk. It's time to think for yourself and other's comments are just comments... What I can tell you is that, think of all the possibilities that Form 6 might be able to provide you... After Form 6 you are totally spoilt with choices from all over the world!! Of course you must work harder for it! For local certificate such as Diploma, somehow the limitations might be stoppping your potential somewhere in near future... Think wisely...BooNMiNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439182521556384503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-50859505498781123472007-11-27T13:21:00.000+08:002007-11-27T13:21:00.000+08:00Hi!

I'm new here..Actually i think i'm out of topic but i'm in a desperate moment to decide wether to go on with my F6(i'm in lower sixth form this year and an art stream student)or to take a different path by taking a diploma in Science in local university which accepted my application and need to answer before December 4th 2007 . I have a not so bad impression when i first studying in Lower 6. Everybody said that STPM is very tough! After learning in F6 it turns out to me that F6 is not that bad... Honestly, i luv being a F6 student because of it's prospect in pursuing degree courses. What i know is that STPM candidates will be the first choice to enter degree courses in local or foreign unversity. But, what makes me feel doubful is because my dream will come true ( i want to further my study till i get Masters) ONLY IF i score a GOOD results in STPM. When i read all the comments in this blogs i feel STPM have a good prospect, awesomwe and most of all it's only 1 and a half years! But again, it turns out that STPM IS A TOUGH EXAMINATION EVER! <BR/>About Science Diploma, i think IF i take it, it means that i have some backup IF it turns out that my application to pursue degree deny by university admin. I heard that diploma student is the second choice student considered by university admin to pursue degree in their university after STPM and Matrikulasi.<BR/>Plez help me!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-25894413054840893132007-11-06T15:24:00.000+08:002007-11-06T15:24:00.000+08:00hi guys, i got a serious question.

Now is August and on 3 more months you are going to take the exam but you only started studying STPM 6 months ago though every other candidates in Malaysia has already studied for at least 1 year ahead of you.<BR/><BR/>However that cannot be taken as a final measurement for your pace of studying for STPM. Right now what I can really advise you is that study hard and don't care about extra-curicular activity... you can't do anything honestly in these 3 months as every other people will concentrate in their exam also. There is no choice but to use your Form 1-5's activities.. (i don't know whether they have changed this or not). Furthermore, Band 4 is enough to get into local university and there is cases that a medicine/dentistry student manage to get in with lower band and then require to retake MUET again in local university until they achieve satisfying results... but dentistry is really one VERY VERY VERY competitive course... Think wisely before choosing this course.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.BooNMiNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439182521556384503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21960968.post-8108720793404160412007-08-06T13:23:00.000+08:002007-08-06T13:23:00.000+08:00hello there..

I am a 9A's holder in SPM 2005. I realised STPM science stream is not same like SPM.. It is indeed very tough and need a great deal of effort and determination.. Since i am in a private school, they do not provide any extra co-curricular activities.. and i dont have any co-curricular activities participation except those in form 5? Is that going to affect me when i want to enter U?. Another thing, i only managed to get Band 4 with total marks of 198 for my MUET.. Am i supposed to re-take it since i want to further my studies in dentistry.. I am afraid i would not have time for my STPM.. Please help me as i am in total confusion..

Talking about benefits, if you are taking science subjects, you have more advantage in getting places into local university since they accept only students from either MATRIKULASI or STPM. Furthermore, all the science subjects are taught in English hence you may apply to oversea universities as you wish...<BR/><BR/>In the sense of difficulties, it's hard to describe. Not to say it's very difficult but it is possible to score if you work hard throughout the whole Form 6. Nothing is impossible right? As compared to SPM, it would be VERY hard because in SPM all you study is just the SURFACE of STPM ... Can you imagine that? hahaha.. Hope it won't scare you away but it's true. SPM is just a foundation but in STPM it's all about hardwork and lots more.. haha<BR/><BR/>Don't be afraid.

You do not necessarily have to take up all three sciences unless you intend to study in a foreign country like say, India.

There is NO, I repeat, NO ONE LOCAL UNIVERSITY (IPTA) that would require a student to take up ALL 3 PURE SCIENCE STPM subjects (Chemistry, Biology and Physics). However, some universities 'PREFER' students with Biology over Physics. Such as University Malaya would require you to have Biology, Chemistry and Math T as your compulsory subjects. If not mistaken those students who choose Physics (and give up Biology) still can be a doctor by choosing USM and one more university (which I had forgotten its name), other than that, they would all require Biology subject.<BR/><BR/>So to simplify things, as a pre-Medicine student you must have below subjects as your minimum combination:<BR/><BR/>1. PA (of course)<BR/>2. Maths T<BR/>3. Chemistry<BR/>4. Biology<BR/><BR/>Hope my data still up-to-date.

MUET is one of those exam that you can spend less time with. I don't mean you can just play around without revising it, but come on! It's a language subject and the most practical way to practise is to use the language more in your daily life.<BR/><BR/>MUET is definitely not tougher than IELTS nor TOEFL. At least the standard is not there yet. Why? Because MUET is mainly for student going to be admitted into local university and they do not need too high requirement on the test. However, in the future, MUET may become, or may not become a standard English Test in the world. Who knows ?BooNMiNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439182521556384503noreply@blogger.com
