International Examinations

Cambridge GCE
Advanced-Level
Programme
Sunway College has been preparing students since 1994 for the General Certificate
of Education (GCE) Advanced-Level qualification through examinations set and
assessed by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
CIE is one of the world’s leading providers of international academic qualifications and is a part of the
University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES). This renowned body has been developing
and promoting its uniquely British system of assessment around the world for almost 150 years.
The GCE A-Level qualification places emphasis on in-depth knowledge, deep understanding, strong
reasoning abilities and critical thinking. It is arguably the most widely recognised pre-university
qualification in the world, readily accepted as proof of superior academic ability for entry into world-class
universities around the world.
CIE is the world’s largest provider of international educational qualifications with more than 1,100
examination centres across the globe. Fifty-odd such centres are currently operating in Malaysia alone.
Any centre which proves its worth through a superior delivery system that produces excellent results in
the twice-yearly examinations is accorded the status of a Fellowship Centre. Only 4 centres in Malaysia
have attained this elite status and Sunway is one of them!
University of Cambridge
International Fellowship Centre
The Fellowship Centre status awarded by CIE to our A-Level programme in 2005 is a clear recognition of
our excellent delivery system and ensuing top-notch results on a world stage. We have a consistent track
record of outstanding academic performance and a string of international awards won by our students.
In the June 2009 CIE Examinations, our overall pass rate was 98.8% with 26% of our students achieving
three A-grades or more. In that assessment, our students topped the nation in Accounting, Biology and
Law, while in Physics and Psychology, we produced the world’s best! Such sterling performances are
nothing new – recipients of CIE Top Student awards have been regularly emerging from within our ranks
since 1998. To date, we have made similar forays into Biological Science, Business subjects, Mathematics,
General Paper, Chemistry and Economics.

International A-Level and Advanced
Subsidiary Qualifications
The CIE A-Level curriculum provides a firm bedrock of fundamental knowledge by guaranteeing comprehensive
coverage in the breadth and depth of each subject offered. Students are assessed for their mastery of subject
matter, their application of knowledge and understanding to everyday scenarios and their ability to think critically
in unfamiliar situations. In the Sciences, a fair part of the assessment involves the demonstration of laboratorybased
skills. Coursework and internal examinations serve the sole purpose of preparing students for the final
external assessment which comes direct from CIE.
The programme of A-Level studies at Sunway involves a two-tiered structure of examinations leading to the
award of a certificate. The staged assessment relieves the pressure associated with sitting for one set of final
examination papers. The AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Examination tests fundamental skills while the A2 (Advanced
Level) Examination is a more wide-ranging assessment. Our 1.5-year programme comprises three semesters, each
about six months long, with the AS examinations at the end of Semester 2 and the A2 examinations at the end
of Semester 3.
Iulia Gherman and Gan Fang Wen were multiple award winners at the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards by the Cambridge
International Examination (CIE). Both were also recipients of the Top in the World for Mathematics AS-Level.
Iulia Gherman Best Across 4 A-Level Subjects (3rd Place)

The A-Level subject syllabi are divided into the AS Level, which is the first half of the programme and forms
the foundations of A-Levels, and the A2 Level, which is the second part of the syllabus and covers more
difficult topics, with each level contributing 50% towards the final A-Level grade.
The examination papers at both the AS and A2 Levels are set and marked by examiners from the University
of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).

Help and Support
Staff from the A-Level programme and the Student Services
Department offer assistance to students in the areas of
academic and personal counselling. At the programme level,
each student is assigned an academic staff member as mentor.
Mentor-Mentee System
Each lecturer in our A-Level programme is assigned a number
of mentees who become recipients of pastoral care throughout
their studies. At the outset, this system fosters the forging of
meaningful relationships between lecturers and students, and
promotes the close monitoring of students’ overall progress.
The system also identifies each mentor as a capable and ready
resource person for counsel pertaining to choice of career and
placement in appropriate universities. Mentors are responsible
for processing all applications made by their mentees, including
the writing of references and testimonials. On a broader level,
the mentor-mentee system helps guide the overall social,
emotional and mental development of the student body.
Parents’ Day
Parents’ Day is held every semester to enable parents and
guardians to meet with lecturers and discuss academic and
personal development of each student. This will enable parents
/ guardians and lecturers to work together to help the student
develop his / her full potential.
Progress Reports
Progress reports are evaluative reports written by each subject
lecturer. These reports are an important means of letting
parents know about the student’s progress. The programme
regards parental involvement and home support as critical
factors in helping students improve. Two reports are sent in the
first semester and one after each of the mock examinations.
Extracurricular Activities
There are many extracurricular activities available to all students
in the institution under the Student Services Department.
Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular
activity as it provides a more wholesome development of the
student. It may also enhance a reference or testimonial.
A-Level Student Council
(ALSCO)
ALSCO is a group of committed, bright and creative young
people who are the voice of the A-Level students. Each class
is represented by a member of the ALSCO.
Among the events that ALSCO has organised are the A-Level
Ball, traditional costume day, Sports Carnival and charity
events to raise funds for the less fortunate and needy.
Being in the ALSCO teaches members to be more tolerant
and understanding of different races, creeds and colour.
Members of ALSCO also learn to come out of their comfort
zone and achieve their full potential of being leaders. ALSCO
members strive to be role models and set good examples for
their fellow course mates.
For the selection process, applicants are required to fill up
a form about their previous extracurricular activities in
secondary school. After that, an existing ALSCO member will
interview the applicants personally before the applicants are
shortlisted to be interviewed by the Coordinator, the advisor
to ALSCO. Committee meetings are held weekly to discuss
and plan events or social gatherings. If you are responsible,
committed and prepared to be a leader, ALSCO wants you!
Student Attendance
Although attendance is not part of the evaluation process in
the A-Level programme there is a high correlation between
attendance and achievement and it is likely that a student
who has a high degree of absenteeism will be doing poorly.
Attendance is a priority and is monitored and recorded
diligently. Students who miss five or more classes will be
reported to the Director of Programme and parents or
guardians will be informed. Persistent absence from class
may result in the student being excluded from classes unless
approved by the Director of Programme.
Student Punctuality
Lateness is not only disruptive to others but also adversely
affects effective class participation. Chronic lateness will be
treated similarly to frequent absences and will be reflected
in the student’s final mark. It is within the subject teacher’s
prerogative to deny access to class to chronic latecomers and
treat the denied access as an absence.
If a student knows he / she will be absent for lessons, he / she
must produce a parent’s letter to state the reasons and
proposed absenteeism dates in advance of the leave of
absence.
Academic Counselling
If a student is found to be too far behind in the syllabus and
unable to catch up due to lack of attitude / aptitude then he /
she is to be counselled to drop the subject.
If two or more lecturers agree he / she lacks the ability to cope,
after the mid-semester report, he / she will be counselled to
change programme as deem appropriate.
