So, it seems the average chance of getting the scholarship is more than 25%... But it might differs in every course...

Do your best and hope for the best, guys...

More towards public speaking?

if u are the last one..
n most points have been used up..
then just use other member points but twist it
and make it like u owns them..
or just elaborate them

[Vaan]

Lets summarize everything for today shall we?

Introduction in BM - only 1 minute to 2 minutes duration given

Group discussions topic:
1.Why is education important to you?
2.How to be a better/good Malaysian abroad?
3.Vision 2020/ What is Vision 2020 to you?/ What are the challenges in reaching Vision 2020?/ Bagaimanakah kursus yang anda pilih akan menyumbang kepada Visi 2020?

during my interview, the interviewer allowed us to add more points for second time. maybe this is because my group is the last group from 10.00am.

can say so, it is unlucky....

the 5 minutes are given so that each member from the group can discuss together.

my group is the last group, consist of 4 person, the interviewer broke up us in 2 groups(2+2).
ya maybe like pub-speak, but do not try to entertain the interviewers!

i think it does not affect the whole interview as he is able to hear and understand what we've said.

to make long story short...
i arrived 8.30.
I have to wait until 10.00am.
The lady check all of my documents and certs.
I was given a number, that is number 2. This mean i am the second person to make my introduction.
11.30am, i was called with 3 other girl into a room.
there are 2 interviewers, 1 is for checking our documents while another conduct the whole interview.
First, we are allowed to give a short introduction for 1 minutes(longer will result in mark deduction)-according to the interviewer.
Secondly, we(4persons) are separated into 2 groups, where each group consists of 2 members.
Then, each group was given a question, time for 5 minutes is allowed for member discussion.
Next, each person elaborate their own points.( i think each person just 4-5 minutes like that).
Finally, the interviewer give us a chance to add what we want to add.
12.00 Say "Bye Bye" to interviewers.
keke~
