obstacles and challenges

I must face these obstacles and challenges before I am permitted to continue studying in German. hope I can survive till the end

  • A-Level Exams
It consists of 3 subjects,that is, Chemistry ,Mathematics and Physics and it covers all 4 semesters. Mathematics is divided to 2 more subjects, that is Mechanics and Core Maths. I will sit this exam in next semester, maybe May or June. Candidate must score at least 10 points out of 15 from the 3 subjects (Grade A contributes 5 point)

  • DSH
DSH or it is known as Deutsche Sprachpruefung Hochshulezugang is a German exam . It is so important so that the JPA will decide which university is suitable for the candidate, regarding the exams result. I will sit for this paper maybe after A-Level exam, in 5th semester.

  • AS exams
AS stands for advanced subsidiary is divided of 2 subjects. They are AS English and AS German.
It's a new syllabus where the candidate must sit for both papers. Previously, the candidates just sit for AS English only. If they fail, they must repeat the exam and of course, it is not free. Well, the result previously is so pathetic. Below than 10 candidates are qualified as pass. The rest, FAIL. OMG! below 10 candidates! out of 60+ students. I am fearful and please Allah, help me and my friends. It is not an ordinary exam, like our SPM. It's from Cambridge and the papers will be marked there. But we got a back-up. AS German and it seems more easier than English. OK! I need to pass either one, then AS exams isn't a problem.

  • CTIS/CTES
CTIS is religion exam. It's not important academically and everyone can score it. I mean, it is important for us for our guideline in life but doesn't contribute so much in continue studying to overseas. Such a secular education (forgive me, but that's the bitter truth)

  • other regulations
hmm2. BTN (biro tatanegara) must be attended and psychology and health test must be taken. In simple, regulations that are applied by JPA to it's students
