Re: Hopeless to Harvard
I have no idea what admissions boards will think. I suppose you'd do better to talk to guidance counselors about resitting CIE, and you'd have to explain it in your college application. Don't forget...

Re: Do you love Malaysia?

Re: Writing in English
'Command' of a language, I think, also implies knowing when to use certain words and when not to, because throwing several 'big' words together does not necessarily make a grammatically correct (or...

Re: Regarding the requirements for JPA
Just a heads up, guys: remember that JPA is not the only (or necessarily the best) scholarship around, and it's not a perfect scholarship either. ;) So do try your best in applying for it, but apply...

Re: course to choose after spm
Perhaps you could look into forms of higher education which do not require that you select a course/major before beginning study, if you're not sure at the moment. The liberal arts system in the US...

No, you don't have to study more years to get your degree. You just spend the remainder of your 4 undergraduate years taking classes your major requires (and also other fun ones, of course). Usually...
