Answering question for diskusi pelajar SMKTAR 2014

For all the form 6 juniors in STAR,
Yea I did not play any role in the Diskusi Pelajar SMKTAR 2014.

However, I gonna share two information for you guys here.

One of the panel, my friend Kie Ling suggested that if anyone of you have any problem regarding JPA scholarship can come to ask me, then I think I should write something useful for you guys for reference.

Another question from the stupid Ben Soe. I wasn't prepare at all and have been called out. So I didn't answer much there. So I think I need to write here if anyone of you want to know. His stupid question was : How do I score 4 flat.

About JPA scholarship.

JPA offers quite many scholarship. IF you're planning to go overseas, please search for PILN ( program ijazah luar negeri ), I'm not going to talk about it here. The JPA scholarship I gonna talk here is the scholarship for us to study locally.

There are 2 scholarships I gonna to talk here. Both of them are the scholarship where JPA sponsor the students to study in local university ( both public university besides UPSI and selected private university )

One of the scholarship is PROGRAM PENAJAAN PELAJAR TERBAIK STPM.
Under this program, you need not to apply for it. You will just been selected by JPA. Only selected 4 flat student will get it. The name list is given by KPM, and I guess non of us know how the name list comes from and what is the criteria of being chosen. BUT one thing for sure is, those who are getting 4 flat only will get this scholarship.  I not gonna talk about the process to register all that here. You guys can do research yourself.

Another scholarship is PROGRAM IJAZAH DALAM NEGARA (PIDN).
Everyone can apply for this scholarship if and only if your CGPA are 3.5 and above. This is what my seniors told me. The application for each year will be on August/September. I not sure there is only open once per year or has twice. You guys can figure it out. For this year, the application open in 3rd week of September. Oh ya. From my seniors, if you can't get it for the first time you apply, apply for the 2nd time. You will get one. ( I not sure whether it is true )

And of course, taking JPA scholarship, you need to be bonded by them. Mostly 4-6 years. For medic students are even longer.

So

About how I get 4 flat - question from stupid Ben -,-
Or more accurate one should be How I study.

In fact I need to say that getting 4.0 , for me is quite lucky. Because non of my semester getting 4.0 but end up I get 4 flat. I was shocked too.

Okay back to the topic. How I study ?

To be truth, I'm a lazy person. I don't do much homework given by teacher. BUT how I score ?
Yes, what Kie Ling told you guys was correct. Homework ensure you to understand what you are doing actually. But for my case, since I'm quite lazy hmm. I have 2 must-follow step to solve my problems.

1. I pay full attention in the class.

Even when I feel sleepy, I still try my very best to listen to teacher. Make sure I CAN UNDERSTAND THE EVERY SINGLE THING TAUGHT BY TEACHER. No matter maths account or econ and even PA also. Don't think that you need not to pay attention when you're going for tuition ! You're definitely wrong if you think in this way ! Every teacher gives different things for you. And I remember that once I answering for my maths exam, the question was quite tricky, end up most of my classmate got wrong but I got it correct. Because I remember that teacher has gone through for that type of question very quickly. So. Yeah. That's one of the way.

2. Do homework smartly.

When the first method doesn't work, I will follow it by the second way. As I told you, I am lazy. So I have to work smart. LOL but I put efforts here as well la of course. For maths and account - hard subjects for me, and I usually have no time to finish all. So I will pick some easy question to do first to understand the simple concept. And then after I know the concept, I will move to the hard question ( pass year question or model question ) well, do understand some concept do takes time. What I want to say is for the hard question part. To ensure that I fully understand one concept, to solve one hard question ( if the solution is not that easy ) , I won't ask my friend or my teacher or refer to the books' steps straight away. I always willing to spend hours, days, just to solve THAT one question. So I might use up one night maybe 5 hours to solve one account question as I told you guys. Or maybe one day. For me it's quite useful. Asking solution from friend and teacher is when you're really run of time already. Tomorrow exam today not understand, no choice la you have to ask. But try to avoid last minute preparation.

And lastly, do follow Kie Ling's ways to study too. Planning is everything. Plan your schedule well. Manage your time wisely. This is the key for you to success.

Yes this is all I can share with you.

The very first time I type so long English in my blog. Sorry for my broken English and those grammar mistake. Feel free to correct for me in the comment below. I appreciate it. And I hope this passage does help you guys. All the best.
