each subject has their coefficient which would be taken into account for your overall results for each test. For the time being , I'm just gonna share the percentage rather than how to calculate your overall results just so that you emphasize on the subjects with a higher coefficient.

*coefficients for SEM I & SEM II are the same

Tests

Each semester , we have 3 exams (test 1 , test 2 and the finals). To give you a better idea of the period between these tests , here is my batch's academic calender.

As you can see , the schedule is extremely packed , even if semester 3 seems more chillax (it isn't), we still have an additional subject (which doesn't make things easier)and they are getting tougher and tougher, so this is indeed a very demanding foundation programme. 

Excluding the finals , for other tests , you do not have the whole week off to revise ,you have to take exams while following the syllabus. My sincere advice would be to follow and digest your lessons continuously, don't study last minute, cuz the hard truth is gonna be that , you won't even get that last minute to revise before taking the tests.

The Introduction

 Hi SPM leavers,

    Without a doubt , you guys are here after JPA has opened their applications for the JKPJ programme and you see the "SOCIAL SAINS" course. yup, I was once like you, the only difference would be that I couldn't land on any informative blog haha. really I didn't find much on this programme before entering yet I still feel so appreciative for the chance to be admitted.

    A little info about me,  I am from the SPM2020 batch, it's currently my semester break period where I finally find the time and motivation to write this blog. In two weeks time , I'm gonna start the third semester of the foundation programme before leaving for France.

    This is just a short introduction to what I am gonna share on this cite for the coming weeks. It will mainly compose of the paths after of this "Sains Sosial" scholarship programme "sponsored" by JPA , the contents of the foundation, UniKL's (our preparatory programme's institution) environment and other insignificant but fun facts worth sharing.

    The main objective is just to give you guys an overall idea of this course and what the future education/career prospects that comes with your entry into this programme. Some people received this scholarship with the idea that they would get to study law and that is just wholly untrue and you may leave now if that is your sole goal haha...JK stay tune and you will wrap your head around what the programme has to offer.

(my goal is to at least talk about the things I've stated in the third paragraph before the results of SPM2021 are released so that you guys can consider applying for this scholarship.)
