setelah ada juga yang sanggup PM personally ke FB, bertanyakan tentang IB. and they found out bout it through my blog, so I decided to write it here. sebab takdelah saya ulang-ulang benda yang sama bukan?
kalau ada adik-adik yang nak tahu lebih lanjut tentang IB, boleh view my blog through post yang ada label IB.
this is only my opinion, my personal point of view when talking bout IB.
WHAT IS IB?
okay, I did that as my foundation programme selepas SPC in Kolej MARA Seremban (KMS), under program Skim Pelajar Cemerlang (SPC) selepas SPM, tajaan Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA). i know about IB beforehand sebelum masuk KMS lagi, sebab kaunselor pernah bg exposure masa kat MRSM. but not that much. thru blogwalking? not much. zaman tu pun baru nak berjinak-jinak dengan dunia blogging. so tak tahu secara mendalam.
to make it simple, IB a.k.a International Baccalaureate ni program persediaan, yang lebih kurang macam A Level. I can compare it only to A Level sebab, that is the nearest frame of reference masa di KMS dulu. jadi untuk program lain seperti AUSMAT, ADFP, CPU dan sebagainya,xdapatlah nak bagi review. it takes you to finish it within 2 years. and one final exam to deter your points (grade).
basically, in Malaysia, kalau under MARA akan di conduct di KMS dan Kolej MARA Banting (KMB). kalau di KMS, masa my time dulu, semuanya tajaan MARA sahaja. tapi di KMB, ada macam-macam tajaan. PETRONAS, FELDA,TNB dan sebagainya. banyak. and ada a few tempat juga seperti KDU private college yang menawarkan IB di Malaysia.
COMPARISON OF IB WITH A LEVEL?
to compare, IB dikira dalam bentuk points. dia tak pakai CGPA or pointer and all those things. ada 6 subjek wajib yang perlu diambil. dan setiap subjek dikira dalam band 1-band 7. so total up for subjek 6X7= 42 points. another 3 points will come from your Extended Essay (EE) and Theory Of Knowledge (TOK) essay. and that's makes 45 point total for IB. like me, I took Malay A1 SL, English B SL, Biology HL, Chemistry HL, Mathematics HL, and Physics SL. 6 subjects = 3 Higher Level (HL) and 3 Standard Level (SL). selain tu option for taking this 6 subjects depending on your course that you are bounded with. since I'm taking Dentistry (still at that time, I only decided to take Medicine after I finished my IB), so I'm required to take Physics SL at that time (don't know why?). list of subjects offered you can refer to KMS/KMB webiste for more details. *sorry tak rajin sangat
if I were to compare, A Level (AL) only 3 subjects for 2 years. for me its more to exam oriented. like if student Malaysia yang dah biasa dengan Malaysia punya curricular yg more to exam oriented,haaa its like that. (doubt that? still susah jugak lah kan tapinya, sesuailah dengan level yg korang belajar as persediaan but that's how I see it). they have 2 exams, Advance Subsidiary (AS) yang diambil semasa semester kedua and A2 during the final semester. full points for AL programme is 15 points. ada juga yang kira grading A,B,C. kalau ada fail paper masa AS, boleh repeat waktu A2. yang itu confirm.kalau tak silap, final points for AL dia akan puratakan from AS and A2 grade. but one thing for sure in IB, there is no repeat.
IB RELATED TO MEDICINE/DENTISTRY?
belajar IB ni sama level macam matrikulasi sains/asasi sains. so no diff. some topics ada yang korang belajar on surface, and some belajar secara deep. thats for short lah. cuma nak menariknya IB ni ada CAS service iaitu macam volunteering project/curricular activities yang korang kena completekan within two years for 150 hours. TOK essay for 1500 words, and Extended Essay in which more likely a mini thesis written report for 4000 words. sounds crazy but hell yeah, I survived those things! :D
so far harapnya menjawablah kot?
kalau nak tahu maklumat lebih lanjut boleh cari my older post under IB tags. you'll find my ups and down doing IB in KMS, in which about two years ago.
well, kalau ada apa-apa nak tanya in details, you are warmly welcomed. do drop your queries at the comment box. I will try to respond as much as I can. :)
p/s: this post is a bit rushy. sorry bout that. I'm trying to steal my time as much as I can. heee

Jarang godek entri sini,Penulis sekarang belajar di mana dan kursus apa?
ReplyDeletepenulis sekarang sedang menuntut dalam tahun ke-2 ijazah sarjana muda perubatan dan pembedahan di Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences. :)
Deletemencari nak tulis ape dlm komen kat pos ni..akhirnya gelak sendiri, haha..tak sangka semua itu dah berlalu..
ReplyDeletehehehe... gelak lah. rasa tak percaya semua tu dah berjaya ditempuhi kan... :)
Deletenak tanye..saya baru habis study course ib kat kmb..saya mntak kat pmc tp xdpt..nk tanye, universiti ape lagi yg blh buat twinning for medic eh..thank you
ReplyDeletesalam, ok for instance awak boleh apply kat aimst, aucms, imu, msu and mahsa.
Deletebut mahsa and msu i think lebih kurang mcm cucms, xde twinning program.
aucms : ada twinning dengan ireland, indonesia and ukm.
imu: twinning with ireland, uk rasanya.
cubalah apply. mungkin ada rezeki awak kt sana. one tips, apply je dulu semua medical school serentak. kalau nak tunggu satu2 takut lambat.
goodluck! :)
Assalam nurlisa. Saya nak tanya mcm mana nak mohon skim pelajar cemerlang ni? Adakah SPC sama dengan IB?
ReplyDeletesorry for the superlate reply. SPC ni boleh mohon mcm kita nak mita tajaan MARA/JPA. go to mara website for the update. under SPC mara akan menaja pembiayaan pengajian bermula dari foundation dalam pelbagai program..dan IB adalah salah satu program foundation yg ditaja oleh mara. selain IB, program lain yang setara foundation adalah seperti A-Level, Canadian Pre-U (CPU), Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT), American Degree Foundation Prog (ADFP) South Australian Matriculation (SAM).
Deleteada banyak prog foundation lain sebenarnya selain IB. :)
Salam saya nak tanya, kalau course applied science dia punya study and job prospect apa eh? Saya apply for mara then kena amek IB but saya still taktau applied science boleh menghala ke mana heheh next week interview ._. Thank you kak :D
ReplyDeletekalau dapat tawaran KMS untuk course engineering, boleh tak tukar pada course medic bila dah masuk.tq
ReplyDeletenot so sure though since its diff prog and diff subjek kena ambil. kalau zaman akk dulu (4years back) ada je student switch dent-medic or medic-dent. tu pun sebab same prog (IB) and ambil subjek yg sama so xde masalah sangat.
DeleteIB KMS skrg dah ada engineering ke? (sorry akk tak update sgt :P)
sebab masa akk engineering tu just A level je ada kt KMS, so kalau nak tukar ke IB medic mcm susah la sikit. subject taken pun dah lain.
apa pun kena tanya dengan sponsor la whether boleh ke tidak. :)
