An aspiring-doctor here. Waiting for my SPM results now...

Hey guys, just your opinions. I've been thinking of these few options.

South Australian Matriculation (SAM)
Canadian Pre-University (CPU)
Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP)
Foundation in Science at AIMST

I am targetting to study medicine at Melaka-Manipal next year. The foundation in science is among the list above 'cause Manipal accepts it too. But still I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out which is the best. Been doing tons of research bout the options above.

SAM: 50% coursework, 50% final exam. Read in some forums, some mentioning SAM has tons and tons of assignments, and sometimes everything clash together. Syllabus kinda' tough...

CPU (almost the same as CIMP, I guess, heh?): 70% coursework, 30% final exam. Some said this has very, very shallow syllabus. Really? Not too sure about its coursework/assignments workload as compared to SAM.

Foundation in Science (AIMST): I heard many mentioning Foundation at SAM is pretty bad at AIMST. The syllabus/final exam, are they tough?

Either SAM or A-level.
