This specially designed coaching programme has kept the pass rate on par or above the regional average. However, it has to be noted that there is considerable volume of reading involved, which is an important and essential contributor for examination success.
Candidates who have undertaken three or more subjects must study independently as no coaching is provided by the Institute for subjects other than those mentioned above. The list of recommended reading will be provided by the Institute.
Candidates who will sit for three subjects or more will not be registered to sit for the two compulsory subjects initially. Either they have to attempt all five subjects or initially attempt non-compulsory subjects. |
