The new STPM, what you need to know

I am back again and this time i am going to write a 101 about our current form 6 studies whereby me and my batch were pretty much the lab rats for this new semester (most of the teachers will call it penggal instead of semester, whats the difference? i dont know either) thingy.
Before i start on anything lets go with a disclaimer 1st, isnt that how it works? to deny everything that anyone might use against you?

Disclaimer (yes it is BOLDED and RED) : the situation described below is based on an individual's personal opinion and may or may not reflect the actual situation depending on the many manipulated factors.

Ok, with all the chim-ness gone, lets get started. Personally I have been in the science stream as well as the art stream in form 6, so i know a little bit or so about some of the subjects, but we will get to that later. This "new and improved" system has 3 semester's in total whereby student are required to take an exam at the end of each semester.

The 1st semester starts somewhere around in the middle of year mainly beginning of May till November
The 2nd semester starts in the beginning of the year from January till May
The 3rd semester? take a guess...

Students may choose to retake or recheck the exam paper's for each semester if they are not satisfied with their results.

With a fee of Rm 50 per paper.............

Now the 1st question is What kind of students should enter form 6 ?

• Students who can study smart instead of study hard. Lets face it, merely a short 4 months for 1 semester is way too short to do your "hafal" magic. There is just not enough time to squeeze everything in unless you are planning to study every single day of the semester.
• Students who can handle seeing other students going home first because the PBS will make you go home LATE. Its a big deal, trust me,it is...the feeling is just no fun.
• Students that can handle getting up early again for another one and a half years. Dont need to explain more on this i guess.
• Students that can be the "bad guy" once in awhile. This "bad guy" persona is needed especially in the PBS (pentaksiran berasaskan sekolah, aiya ma last time form 5 we do the folio lo, nama gaya only) due to the fact that in certain subject team work is required to get the job done, so it takes some "i straight tell him/her off " to keep the team moving.

Subjects (note that i will only explain the subjects that i know about and have taken before)

• Pengajian AM (P.A.)
  this subject is a wajib for all the form 6 student, how also kenot escape one. This subject mainly focuses on the administration of Malaysia. A very good subject to boost your general knowledge about the country (note that you might get confused of what is written in the book and what is actually happening in Malaysia)  but at the same time....boringggggggggg... but during the exam everyone's faces will be like 
  
  cuz there is just not enough time
  

• Bahasa Melayu (B.M)
  Given that you have the right teacher, this might be one of the easiest subjects to score. As for me, i am lucky i managed to find a great teacher. Much like the saying happy wife happy life. Mostly this subject take you deeper into the origins of the language as well studying the rights and wrongs in the tatabahasa and shit... If you are good at this, the exams will be a piece of cake whereby you can goyang kaki with all the extra time.

• Ekonomi
  This subject require a little bit of memorizing but mostly it requires understanding. It involves simple maths and graphs. But dont take it for granted as sometimes it will pinch you in butt due to the frustrating calculation and the sometimes confusing graphs that just looks like a 3 year old's doodle doodle. It may cause you to get butt hurt

be sure to check you chairs before you take a seat because some of the chair cracks may pinch your ass good.

• Pengajian Peniagaan (P.P)
  If wan sound glamour abit just call it business studies la. This is perhaps the only subject that you have no choice but have to hafal since all the answers are straight forward and factual based. Basically a long lost member from the family of the subject Sejarah. I hate sejarah...just saying..

As for the Science stream subjects, unless you are some kind of a maths genius and looking forward to one and a half year of hair fall, please stay away from it, unless you are completely sure and confident that you will be able to handle the heat. I personally switch from Science stream to Arts because whenever the maths comes i will be like

this is coming from a guy who got like what? negative 2 marks for his add maths in form 5. But what can i say? not all asians are good at maths bro.
