General DiscussionI got no idea wad to study or do

^Like wad majors do i take or do i go for A lvls?How do i decide on those?

Me too. My father ask me to take ielts but i dont wanna so i go to a level hopefully. I think A level is better for those who dont know what major to take because you pretty much study everything

You taking the october november or may june

^That wad u heard too hut its said to harder than foundations.Correct me if um wrong

Im taking nov and dec one

What lesson do you take for igcse? A level are much much harder than foundation but it is very useful from what i know since my own sister goes to HKU(hk uni) and her friends go to canada usa and good shit like that. If you want a good grade at a level you must restrain yourself from playing dota for about 1 year

Im taking 2nd language English,both foreign chinese and malay,all three science subjects and maybe accounting

And also maths and add maths

I think a lvls is good for me unless i can make up my mind in the period of time.Im still unsure doe

Try to get indonesian language its easier than malay. 1st language english is mandatory to get into most of college too so try that. I want to give a round of applause for taking add math. You got balls son i am taking add math too and my whole class flame me for taking that fucking hard as fuck lesson

hi guys just wanna say university is a waste of time and a social engineering scam,

Getting some niche skill and then opening a business using that skill is way better than a degree especially a business to business company, if you pick a degree in mind to do this then the university is somewhat worth it, else it is literally training to become a company slave in the future.

Especially true for commerce/engineering/IT/science plus they're pretty tough

that being said im in university doing stats L U L

And i also suggest that you need to do all 5 year passpaper from now on

Try to study chinese a lot harder as my parent say that chinese is very good nowadays

Im from malaysia so its kinna easy for me and im chinese so chinese is easy for me2.Add maths is mandatory in my school although almost everyone is confused in class.

Whr can you find those past year papers btw?

^Strawberry
Stats?Like wad do u study?Number and percentages?

hey mane a-levels is the hardest pre-u education. Unless if you wanna go overseas dont bother with it no joke. plus its 1 and a half years compared to foundation and if you enter uni with a-levels you'll spend the first year of uni learning the same shit you learnt in a-levels.

for CAL a-levels
Economics and math are free A's(the mechanical math part is hard tho) and business studies is a free A if you write fast but you have to read the thick as fuk book. dodge further math law and literature. not sure about the others

http://www.xtremepapers.com/ for the past papers

i study econometrics. they teach you about making models and shitty predictions about anything you want but mainly on the economy

Yeah i think im going overseas.Wad other choices do i have other than a lvls?I jus couldnt make up my mind on wad i shoukd study.My parents jus ask me to focuz on the coming exams and do good and stop worrying about it.But i jus cant stop thinking lol

Go to Government A level then take your degree in your country,oversea to further study if you wish

cambridge a-levels is the best for going overseas. However, some courses have requirements on some subjects you need to take for a-levels.
Also, USA requires you to take SAT, and you need some english requirement shit for lots of colleges in multiple countries.
Study hard to get in good unis because you need as many A's as you can A* are even better. do not get a C if you can it is shit, and you retake exams if you wanna try for a better score but it is not recommended as it is a waste of time and money.

im quite sure u need alevels to study at an university in the first place

isnt alevels hwat kids do at british schools? wtf

Study Dotalogy

Wad about foundations? Isit easier?

^me and my bros actually joked about quiting school and play dota full time.Our goal is to win Ti 16 lmao

I don't know anyone taking foundation going overseas unless if it was a partnered university. People usually take ausmat or alevels.

Foundation is more like course work(assignments)/supplimentary exams and a final exam with different weightages towards your final Gpa. Also u will have to do the Compulsory shit subjects the gov. education mandated.
A-levels is about regurgitating good answers in 2/3 hour exams as fast as possible for both AS and AL. Also, there are trial exams as well to help measure your standings, usually a little harder and graded by the local lecturers.

Also try asking on the lowyat Malaysian forum, there is a subforum for these kind of questions; plus it's sem break for the Aussie uni people so they are free tho it's ending soon though.

If seriously, University is fucking dogshit and you don't really need a degree for a good living anywhere.

My conclusion at 3rd year undergrad.

Im triggered that my thread is delated for no good reason

Turtle make a good point,only take the foundation if you know you are going for that certain course and on the certain uni/college.Because alot of uni and college they don't recognise other uni/college foundation.

Give up your Dota dream,if your mmr can't even pass a player that never play any lane in dota (lul) and only jungle you are worthless in this game.

ask ur papa to become dota pro player

alevels is a minimum 3 subject course with physics chem bio or maths . if u want good grades in alevels u have to forget dota for the interval u r studying in. its tough i can give u that and also go for three subject no more do as level in first year and a 2 in second year
dont extend the duration its not worth it i m here if u need me i have completed it so senior advice. the choice is yours though

A levels isnt that difficult I know because I did it and now I am in medical school. You just need to focus on what you are studying and it certainly does not require you to focus on studies all the time since it is more conceptual and relies on your understanding of the subject/topic instead of just memorizing what is available in the text book. If you do decide to take A levels then surely use the website Khanacademy.com for studying, it has everything you would want to learn for your examinations and is presented in a beautiful way. Goodluck bro and try your best in everything you do.

1. Choose engineering, only if you are truly passionate about it. Or else you may end up with a job profile, which may not be technical/core.
2. If you are planning to study abroad, make sure you start learning the local language in advance (atleast 2 years before you apply for the university).
3. And as someone mentioned in a previous comment, try to acquire some skill which would actually help you set-up something of your own. Or else, you will end up being a slave of some MNC.

All the best for your exams!

you dont need university to learn what u learn in university. you dont really learn alot in class, you learn most when you want to learn the things. internship makes you learn fastest if its technical skills like programming languages, autocad, solidworks etc.

you only need degree to get a headstart in good company, otherwise its just a paper sitting on the shelves.

uni dont really give shit, even if its top uni unless you are in for those ivy leagues.

if you are into engineering, you can start learning autocad, solidworks etc. they apply for works in mechanical, civil, electrical engineering, also learn a handful of programming languages if you are free.

^ this! learning a object-oriented programming language and a basic CAD/CAM software is a must, if you are into engineering. Also never underestimate the value of MS Excel.

having rich parents is much better than going to university in my experience

that being said, u should get an education in something useful e.g. finance, law, not some bullshit degree like design or whatever

Thx for all the advice man.Really appreciate it.Cheers

while u may or may not be able to teach stuff urself, a degree is 99.99% the safer route to go

Im most probably gonna go to US for uni cuz of my parents saying that my aunt and uncle is thr so i can stay at their home and they can keep an eye on me lul

Anything technology related, IT, computer science, certain engineering fields. High pay and lots of jobs.

OP, having relatives abroad is good. But if possible, opt for an option where you have to be on your own. You will experience lot of new things (both positive and negative things) and learn a lot about life. It may also change the way you approach certain things in life.

not meaning to hijack this thread but since some of u said to only take engineering if u like it. im a 2nd year computer engineering student and i dont rly think its the course i want afterall, but i havent shifted to anything else because im not rly sure what course i should shift to (if i go IT i become a freshman again smh)

am i stuck in life?

I bet I am much more 'stuck' than you are.

You aren't really.

^^ It depends. Why do you require the degree in the first place? If it is just for an educational qualification and once you graduate, you have something in mind which you can pursue and does not require a specialized degree, you are not stuck. If you use this degree as a base to get hold of a job, then you are stuck but partially. You might end up doing things that you dont like (say for 3-4 years), but if you are better than average, you can always opt for a change of department within the firm and move over to a new job profile, which you like.

i guess i am the latter then. im not rly sure about job choices yet here in my country, but so far ive seen (or made to believe) that degree = only way to get a good job, otherwise i'd end up in a low-end job like a housekeeper or something

tbh im not yet sure what to rly do in my life at this point smh
