Back in year 2012 when I was deciding whether to enter Form 6 or to do a foundation in media studies in a college in Jaya One, in the end I'd decided to try Form 6 and I remained in Form 6 until the very end of the 1.5 years course.  Planning a fundraise for the down syndrome kids in 12 days Now Form 6 has ended and I've decided that I'll put 'enjoy life' as my first priority instead of academic excellence, yay! Well, not that I didn't have a life in Form 6, but if you went through Form 6 you'll know what I mean. Not long after my Third Semester ended, I've planned a fundraising event for the down syndrome kids by selling homemade gingerbread cookies, the name of the event is 'A Christmas Project : The Joy of Giving'. It was definitely not easy because of the limited time and resources and with some luck and the help from my parents and friends we were able to held it in Sunway Pyramid on 22/12/2013, the Sunday before Christmas. In the e...

This article is an introduction of the subject Further Mathematics in STPM Baharu by a friend of mine. In Form 6, there are very few people that take up Further Maths and I am really lucky to have a friend who took this subject and is willing to share his experience in this subject. Well, read on! Overall STPM FM is introduced for those who has intense interest in math and wish to challenge themselves in STPM. It can be only be taken with Maths (T). Being a 100% written test, you don’t have to do any assignment or project. Since there are less than 30 candidate taking it each year, there are no any reference book selling in the market and no teacher teaching it in school (as far as I know). You can only learn it by yourself or going for tuition. The reference book recommended by MPM is hardly found in normal bookstore. You may order it from MPM or online but they are really expensive (each book cost about RM 200) and you may need 4 different books for the whole STPM. Most of u...

Also a cheerful and ongoing person in life, his tips in Biology will surely help you in your studies in Form 6! Read it here: Hopefully this brief introduction may give you some ideas while choosing Physics or Biology or both for your STPM.

In additon to this, you are going to learn about eukaryotes and prokaryotes, induced fit hypothesis for enzyme reaction (which differs slightly from lock-and-key), Michaelis-Menten constant for an enzyme-catalysed reaction. The most ‘exciting’ part of this term is all about rememb...

This is an introduction of the subject Chemistry in STPM Baharu by my friend Low Li Tian, read on and you will get an idea of what you'll be learning for this subject in Form 6!   Okay , so I’ll start off with chem sem 1 first. Term 1 we’ll be studying about Physical Chemistry , well I personally didn’t like physical chem that’s why I didn’t have much “memories” bout it. Well, through this physical chem, u’ll be studying about electronic Structure of Atoms, chemical bonding , states of matter , reaction kinetics & equilibrium. Chapters about electronic structure of atom & chemical bonding r quite interesting but not for equilibrium (just my opinion). Overall , term 1 chemistry was quite easy , no memorizing work ,u just have to understand the concept. Eg:  phase diagram for a single-component material, exhibiting solid, liquid and gaseous phases Term 2: Inorganic Chemistry . The first 2 chapters r about chemical energetics & elec...
