You are welcome. In A-Level, both AS and A2, for science subjects like chemistry, physics and bio, ...

ahaaa..

bagus dpt baca pengalaman you..glad to read it!

psl i ada kawan yg anak buat A level and lepas setahun kena kicked out from school sbb gagal..

sek tu pun pentingkan prestasi,so since dia pon dh setahun dgn A level she went on and reg anak dia dkt private school and took different subjects(ikut kata dia klu first year fail those subjects govt dh x benarkan repeat same ones),betul ke?

before this i ada tgk buku2 A level anak kawan i ni,dah mcm diploma student pon ye,ada subjects mcm you mentioned plus business studies..

i x faham sgt campuran subjects yg dia ambik ni....

since anak dia x de bm paper,she has to go to manchester utk sit for bm paper..klu balik nak enroll private uni je..

unlike my other friend,her doter is doing good in A level and dpt uni scholarship utk continue her studies in manchester uni..ni A level dia buat di local school in UK la,bukan international school..but A level sama je kan baik international school mahu pun local british school

You probably misunderstood a bit. IGCSE memang sama macam lower form punye syllabus because it is  ...

adik..A level tu setaraf dgn STPM lah..sbb tu pre-uni..tp kesusahan A level mmg taraf SPM je tp susah sikit..A level is PRE UNI..so ko pon dah mengiyakan yg A level ni senang mcm spm je..u yg misunderstood..STPM sama level dgn IB sama level dgn A level..sbb ni semua pre U..

mmg la A level setaraf dgn foundation dik..dah A level/STPM/IB/foundation..buat apa la gov hantar ko study A level kalau setaraf dgn SPM je..tp A level kacang mcm SPM kn..

jdi lepasan spm dah belajar setaraf dgn budak kolej kt UK..

lepas igcse dah masuk kolej terus kn..AS buat kt kolej..sama ker dgn spm??spm kt sekolah la noks.. ...

You have to understand the system in UK. It is called college but not college like uni per se. Let me quote you an example. Mara Junior Science College is called a college but is it really a college? No it is not. It's a school. And that is similar like what we have in UK. And yeah, a school is called a college in UK if it's a private school. Normal school is still called a school. Heck, even some lower primary schools are called college over there. Long story short, it is just a name.

The thing about our system is, A-Level in Malaysia is only offered in higher tertiary college like Sunway, Taylors and the list goes on. That's why you might feel like you go and do your A-Level in college. But in the UK, A-Level is taught in schools. We have our own national curricular, SPM but SPM is not recognized for international university enrollment. So we have to take A-Level (which in my opinion is a bit double dipping because AS is just like SPM) to be able to have a certificate that is recognized. And A-Level is not offered in schools in Malaysia. Private college je banyak buat. Maybe that's where the misunderstand came.

Like I said, had my early education in the UK, then returned back to complete both my PMR and SPM locally, then did my A-Level and attained my degree from the UK. Nothing is wrong with either syllabus honestly. But I have to agree with some folks that locally, kita kurang galakkan budak2 get the soft skills and build character. It's all about getting As. Not saying it's wrong but it's something that we can improve. Maybe parents pun kena mainkan peranan yang lebih efektif.

A level is pre uni la..setaraf dgn STPM/matrix/IB/foundation..bila masa A level ni setaraf SPM dik??ko kena ambik A level bkn sbb SPM tak laku..kalau ko nk apply uni kt UK ko perlukn STPM!!bkn SPM..STPM is PRE UNI!!..ko tgk bristol mcm contoh http://www.bristol.ac.uk/international/countries/malaysia.html

dia terima STPM sbb STPM is pre uni..which is sama taraf dgn A level..tp mcm ko ckp lah..A level tu ala2 SPM tp susah sikit je..pdhal A level tu ptt susah mcm STPM!!

Nope. Even if you have SPM, still kena amik AS and A2. Like I said, AS memang mcm SPM. A2 more advanced. I am not trying to dismiss any syllabus here tapi just nak betulkan perception setengah2 orang yang rasa syllabus UK tu senang sgt. AS memang betul lebih kurang SPM but not A2.

A-Level ada a few subjects la. Bukan science subjects je. I don't quite understand the mix of subjects. Maaflah, tak berapa arif. Kalau cakap pasal science subjects, I would know a bit and think I've shared a few with you.

Ha ah, A-Level sama je baik buat dekat international school or local british school. Tapi buat A-Level dari Malaysia with SPM rugi masa sikit la. Sebab most Malaysians habis SPM 17 tahun. By the time sambung A-Level, umur dah 18 tahun. Masuk buat A-Level 2 tahun (some people buat 1.5 years and enroll even before result SPM keluar), umur dah 20 tahun baru masuk uni. Kalau belajar ikut system diorang dari awal, by the time your child is 18 dah boleh masuk uni. So jimat 2 tahun la. Like the British folks in my batch, mostly mmg younger. Umur 22 dah boleh start kerja.

Hahaha. Kan? Tell me about it. Masuk kerja, ya ampun. Soft skills tak dak langsung. Tapi result first class, 4.0 memanjang. Nak interact dengan orang? Fail. Tak tahu nak assume responsibility. Semua nak kena spoon feed. Majority lah, bukan semua. In the end kan, I think your upbringing has a lot to do with how the kids are molded. Hantarla sekolah hebat mana pun, tapi kalau parents tak mainkan peranan susah jugak.

kalau kt msia umur 16 igcse/o level..lepas tu ambik A level..umur 17-18..masuk uni plg awl umur 18(tu pon kalau excel study sbb selalu yg buat setahun setengah ni ala2 fast track..tp selalu org buat 2 tahun..so masuk uni umur antara 18/19..

kalau spm..umur 17..a level umur 18-19..msuk uni sama ada umur 19/20..beza setahun..atau tak ada beza..depends dkt individu..

igcse tak ada practical2..paper 3 pon bertulis mcm spm je.. Last edited by tinker_bell on 21-5-2014 09:19 PM
