MERIT KEMASUKAN KE IPTA

Mulai tahun depan, pengiraan merit untuk kemasukan ke Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) bagi pelajar lepasan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2009 dan setaraf akan menggunakan penggredan baru.
Perubahan ini selaras dengan sistem penggredan baru Kementerian Pelajaran yang memperkenalkan peringkat kelulusan A+ untuk pelajar SPM 2009 berbanding gred 1A sebelum ini Sistem ini diperkenalkan untuk memilih yang terbaik di kalangan terbaik bagi memasuki IPTA supaya ada perbezaan contohnya antara A+ dengan A dengan A-.
Melalui sistem baru itu, pelajar yang mendapat A akan dikategorikan kepada A+, A dan A- dengan merit masing-masing 18, 16 dan 14. Gred 3B ditukar kepada B+ dengan merit 12, 4B kepada B(10), 5C kepada C+ (8), 6C kepada C (6), 7D kepada D(4), 8E kepada E (2) dan 9G kepada G dengan merit sifar.
Gred Merit
A+ 18
A 16
A- 14
B+ 12
B 10
C+ 8
C 6
D 4
E 2
G 0
Bagaimanapun, kaedah baru ini akan mengambil kira syarat khas kemasukan program pengajian seperti gred 6C (kepujian) sebelum ini, tarafnya tidak akan diturunkan ke gred lebih rendah.
Pemprosesan, pengiraan markah merit, syarat am universiti, syarat khas program pengajian serta pemilihan calon akan dilaksanakan secara dua kaedah dalam proses transisi iaitu kaedah sedia ada bagi lepasan SPM 2008 dan sebelumnya serta kaedah terkini bagi calon lepasan SPM 2009.
Ini bagi memastikan peluang pelajar lepasan SPM terdahulu untuk melanjutkan pengajian ke IPTA tidak terjejas.
Pelaksanaan kaedah pengiraan markah merit terkini itu akan disebarkan melalui Karnival Pengajian Tinggi Negara 2010 mulai Januari hingga Mac tahun depan di 10 zon terpilih seluruh negara.
Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi juga akan mengadakan taklimat kepada guru bimbingan dan kaunseling serta mengemas kini maklumat itu melalui cetakan dan agihan brosur ke Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri dan sekolah serta di laman web Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan Kementerian Pelajaran.

Here's How:
1. Manage Time Wisely: It’s important to give yourself plenty of time to work on your studies if you want to do well, and you can save yourself a lot of stress if you plan ahead with good time management skills. Setting up a schedule for study, breaking up your studies into smaller chunks, and other time management skills are essential. Here are some more time management tips you may find helpful.
2. Get Organized: Have a system of organization for note-taking, keeping track of assignments, and other important papers. Being organized can bring you the peace of mind that comes from knowing where everything is, remembering deadlines and test dates, and clearing your mind of some of the mental clutter that disorganization brings. Keep a calendar, a schedule, and a filing system for your school assignments, and you’ll find it prevents a significant amount of stress!
3. Create a Good Study Environment: Creating a soothing environment can reduce stress and help you learn. Aromatherapy, for example, is a known stress reliever, and peppermint essential oil is said to wake up your brain, so I recommend burning it as you study. Playing classical music as you study can also soothe you and help you learn (unless you find it distracting). Here's more on finding a good study space.
4. Know Your Learning Style: Did you know that we don’t all learn in the same way? It’s important to know whether you’re a visual, kinesthetic or auditory learner, as you can tailor your study practices around your particular learning style and make success easier to attain. Grace Fleming provides a quiz to help you assess your learning style so you can streamline your efforts.
5. Practice Visualizations: Visualizations and imagery are proven stress management techniques. You can also reduce student stress and improve test performance by imagining yourself achieving your goals. Take a few minutes each day and visualize, in detail, what you'd like to happen, whether it’s giving a presentation without getting nervous, acing an exam, or something else that will support your success. Then work hard and make it happen!
6. Develop Optimism: It’s been proven that optimists—those who more easily shrug off failures and multiply successes—are healthier, less stressed, and more successful. You can develop the traits of optimism and harness these benefits for yourself, and do better in your studies as a result.
7. Get Enough Sleep: If you want your performance to be optimum you need to be well-rested. Research shows that those who are sleep-deprived have more trouble learning and remembering, and perform more poorly in many areas. Work your schedule so you get enough sleep, or take power naps.
8. Use Stress Management Techniques: Chronic stress can actually impair your ability to learn and remember facts as well, stress management is one of the most important--and most overlooked--school necessities. A regular stress management practice can reduce your overall stress level and help you to be prepared for whatever comes. This self test will help you choose wisely.
9. Learn Study Skills: Here are some more specific study skills and tecnhiquesd that can help you improve your performance. The more prepared you are, the less stressed you’ll be!

Developmental Guidance & Counseling Programs

Are an integral part of the total school educational & health services program that is equal to & supportive of the academic mission of the school.

The philosophy that underlies developmental guidance and counseling programs is that all students (not just those in crisis) are in need of skills to effectively manage their lives & relationships with others if they are to become response-able citizens.

The majority of our students come to us:
lacking proper adult guidance & support
lacking the knowledge of steps/actions needed to prepare themselves for postsecondary educational programs, the world of work, or adult life.
