Wrong Pre-U program? To me, taking SAM is the best choice i ever made! Indeed, I suffered during the process but i learnt a lot and grow a lot !
If you prefer something like Malaysia Education system then you should go for A level! Australia Education system needs you to apply your knowledge, not just understanding what you are learning! If learning to you is just for score A in EXAM, then it is not suitable for you!
Why the entry requirement using ATAR is high? Because it is based on World-ranking (ie. Bell-curve), 3A-2B+ is already ATAR 94.25 Besides, the content of SAM is less than A level and hence it is relatively easier.
However, it is true that SAM is not that internationally recognized! if you take SAM, you should be aiming to go Australia or maybe private Uni in Malaysia. UK and singapore do accept SAM results but some need to take certain test.
In my university, it is very RARE to see people entering uni with SAM but it doesn't mean you cannot enter with it.
Choose a Pre-u that is suitable for you, don't make the WRONG choice.
if you choose SAM, then make Your choice RIGHT!
