STPM, stands for Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia also known as Sijil Tunggu Pinangan Mari for certain old folks..haha..
STPM will be the choice before the real last choice, that is working. However, is it not really the last choice for some people. This is because some of the STPM candidates actually get offer into certain universities, it is all because of their choice want to study under form six. But, of course, they have their own reasons of doing so, some may feel that the course given is not suit with their interests, so they continue to further their studies in STPM so that they can get what they really want after STPM.
STPM will be divided into two main stream, that are art stream and science stream. Art stream is way easier than science stream, that is why many students under science stream will apply to change into art stream, cause they want easier study for them. However, that is their interest actually, they want to be a teacher, a lawyer, so why do they have to take science. We cannot blame them because they want to study easier things, art stream. The main thing here is INTEREST. I admit that those who change from science stream to art stream will get better result than those who really get art stream at first, just because their mind is way better than them.
Most of us think that study under science stream is very difficult one, include some of the parents also think like that, even some of the parents may ask their children to change to art stream. Well, I myself admit that science stream is hard to study and not easy to study. However, all you have to do if you want to pass excellence under science stream is study hard. You have to do a lot of efforts so that you can get the real success in science stream. Under science stream, understanding is more important than memorizing. If you understand one single topic, then you can grab it in your hand and score it, but if you don't understand it you cannot do anything no matter how hard you study on it. So, understanding and hard work is what you must have in STPM science stream.

Listening,Reading And Writing is Done..Next is Speaking..
MUET is something terrible if you think so, but if you think MUET is easy, MUET will not be a trouble for we all.
Listening, reading and writing parts have already gone, now left the speaking part only. Speaking is about talking in english only, and it is the only part where we can score the most. But, of course reading part is the main part of MUET, cause this part contributes almost half of the total mark. However, reading is not something you can really score the most, it is very difficult to understand the texts altogether, and the answers are sometime confusing too. In case you can score 100 and above for reading part, that's mean you can get band 3 or higher already.
Not talking about reading now, we focus on speaking. Speaking, is a part of MUET which you must translate what in your mind into the real world. Speaking is divided into two parts, first part is individual presentation and the second part is discussion. In the first part, you have to speak for 2 minutes alone about the topic and the task given. In the second part, you have to discuss about the topic for 10 minutes.
For the first part, all you to do is speak out your mind. Try to talk longer than 2 minutes until the examiner asks you to stop talking. Just speak it out, and make sure what you are talking about is easy to understand, talk clearly. Sometimes you may feel that your grammar is not good, but in speaking, your grammar is not the main problem because you only have to speak. The examiner will not consider so much about your grammar mistakes, and of course those who have great grammar skills will have a higher chances of getting high mark. But, in this 2 minutes, all you have to do is say out loud your opinions, don't care so much about your possible grammar mistakes cause it will only make you inconfident and make you speechless. You must always confident in whatever you talk about even though some of your facts may be not realistic.
For the second part, all the team members are given the task to discuss on your issue depend on your own opinions. Everyone may has own opinions, but the safest way in this session is 2 versus 2. This means that in one group, there will be four members, so you must divide that four members into two independent group. For example, you are given the topic 'Who you should donate your precious organ the most among these peoples, adult, old people, teenager or baby?' In this case, if you use the method 2 versus 2, then it will be 2 candidates should say that we should donate our organ to adults and the other 2 candidates will have to say that we should donate organs to baby, or vice versa. If you use this skill, you can extend the discussion time the most, cause when you are running out of idea, your team member can help you and backup you. So, everyone will discuss about this topic with only two major problems, that are to donate to adult or to baby. However, if you are good enough in english, there is no wrong if you all want to discuss about four problems at once time, that if only you are good than enough!! Another tip is, you must help each other to talk, there must have cooperation in your team, cause if you help your team member to talk in this session, you will get higher expectation from examiner and they will raise your mark!! The most important thing in discussion is cooperation, if no cooperation, your MUET is spoiled. Haish, what a waste, isn't it?
So, good luck to all MUET candidates, all the best from you all. Have a good time for MUET.
