As a STPM leaver, I would like to share my experience of being a Form 6 student.
I'm one of the student from the first batch of modulus system.
STPM system had changed from terminal to modulus in 2012.
If you are going to join Form 6, think twice.
It's a tough way to study your pre-university program.
If you can cope with Form 6 syllabus, you are considered as a smart student.
If you can't, then don't play or waste your time in Form 6. (I'm the one :o()
After my first semester exam, my result was ... bad.
I didn't quit Form 6 because I told myself I will study harder for the retake since we are allowed to retake our paper in modulus system.
After my second semester exam, my result was still bad.
And again, I told myself, I will study harder for the retake paper.
Here's the problem comes:
Do you think you have time to study again for your retake paper?
No. You actually have no time to study all the things again.
Do you think the retake paper will be easier compared to the previous exam paper?
Don't even think about that. Retake papers are harder! It's truth.
Do you think you still have the mood for the retake paper?
For me, I didn't have the mood to study again because your friends who have done the exam are having their holiday while you are still studying for the coming retake paper.
You need to be ready if you are planning to join STPM:
1. you have to be well-disciplined and show your maturity since .. you are the eldest in secondary school.
2. you need to mange your time wisely, time is priceless in STPM.
3. you must be a very hardworking student, this is very important.
4. never ever burn the midnight oil, you can do it in SPM but not in STPM!
5. understanding the theory is more useful than memorizing the theory, STPM questions twist here and there, therefore you need to understand your syllabus very well, so that you won't get fooled!
So people, think twice, of course, studying STPM is a tough process but learn the hard way, it definitely guarantee your future.
Remember, think again and again, don't regret your choice in the end.
Good luck!
