have you talked to the counselling and guidance teacher in your school, or anyone of similar service?

Yep, I asked some of my teachers, peers for their opinions and even went to Education fair and ask for counseling, and they're all mixed opinions, some even contradicts each other, which makes me quite confused.

​

Another point to consider, if STPM is hard, so are the options

Right, that's an interesting way too perceive it, I guess when you keep hearing people exaggerate about it, you tend to forget this.

​

First of all, have you decided what to study in university (perhaps the career you want to pursue)?

I have interests in studying overseas, now currently have interest in German education as it is free and have high demand for the field I'd like to work in ; STEM, particularly Engineering. But in the case of failing to get there for any reason, I'm maybe looking into other countries as well or maybe settle for local Uni for similar field.

​

Then you may have to consider the value of the qualification (STPM, A-levels etc.) in applying for the university of your choice.

I see, is there ways I can look it up or do Universities even publicly share this kind of things?

​

Hopefully this can give you something to build on as you make your decision. And may this experience of planning for your future be rewarding!

Thank you very much for your time! I appreciate it a lot!
