between STPM and matriks?

for ur information, much have been said bout STPM, such as world 3rd toughest exam ( i'm not sure bout that...) and so on.

but, all these while i know STPM is tough but i dont really understand the conflict that goes on. now i finally do. for those who try to put matriculation as equivalent to STPM, pls la, think again. if u r a matriks student, try to go through form 6. if u r neither, perhaps it's better to shut ur mouth and avoid giving any biased opinions?

just compare the duration and syllabus, where matriks is definitely shorter and simpler. everyone knows that. if u dont, just go to the bookstores and make a comparison by urself. take a look at the "telephone directory"( physical chem by tan yin toon) and u'll have some idea of what i meant.

STPM is a public exam and there are too many factors in determining the outcome ie the result whereas matriks is an internal one. see the differences? we dont have semesters. we cant forget what we learnt in lower 6 and move on to upper6. but u guys can just bid bye to stuff u've learnt in semester 1 and move on to the next semester, happily.

i saw matriks papers before and i still have them. it's easy for daniel ( a freaking smart friend of mine from matriks) . for not-so-smart people like me, it's still easier than STPM. ooh...how i wish i can get those questions for STPM? haha...

dont missunderstood. i have no grudge for any matriks students. just that i feel it's very unfair to put matriks equivalent to STPM. i mean it's clear and obvious both are really different.

think again, finish reading everything is one thing. memorise the facts is another. vomit it out again on the paper and apply them correctly, under exam-tension is another thing again. at the end of the day, i really salute those who can get 4.0 and lead a normal life.

oh, both have one similarity ie the path to the university. err... to be honest, matriks is definitely an shorter, easier and smarter way to enter Uni. no doubt about that. if someone just wants an easy and smart way to Uni, just fill up the application form and keep ur fingers crossed that u'll be selected.

otherwise, choose STPM, if u want to experience what most of us have gone through. it's quite exciting, in its own way anyway. choose it, if u miss ur school life. haha

or if u have plenty of cash, dont even consider any of the above choices. haha.

for your information, daniel is ady doing medic-1st year when i was still struggling and preparing for STPM. worse, my future is still uncertain and i dont know what course i will get. now, it seems that it's better to play safe. btw, i didnt apply for it and till now, i have no regrets.
