<p>I’m from Malaysia and our high school finishes at Form 5, (equivalent to 12th grade), however we need to complete a pre-university course to be able to enter university. Hence I’ve taken GCE-A levels at another school. Now I’ve finished my GCE-A levels and not attending any school, currently I’m taking a gap year because our education system starts in January instead of September. </p>

<li>Which secondary school should I state as currently attending, since I’ve graduated from both. The school that I’ve been in for 5 years or the Pre-university college that I’ve been for only one and a half year.</li>
<li>Which secondary school’s guidance counselor should write for my secondary school report? Most of my leadership and extra-curricular activities is done during the 5 years, and the new school i attended has no idea about the amount of work I’ve put in.</li>
<li>I had finished high school, do I need to submit Mid-Year school report?</li>
<li>Which teacher recommendations should i submit? The one that taught me for 5 years or the ones that taught me for only a year and a half?</li>
<li>What if my high school does not have transcript? Just grades of National Examination? Do I submit those grades as replacement? </li>
<li>There is a college requiring me to write a paper and to be mark by a teacher, where should I find a teacher to mark for me now? should i contact the particular college to consult?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks and sorry for the long questions, Just starting my application and it is hard to answer since our systems are different.</p>

<p>1) & 2) I am not sure I am quite clear about this. Have you been attending two institutions at once? Or did you attend the school for 5 years and then attend the pre-university college for 1 1/2 years? If it's the second case, you definitely have to send the school report from the school you attended latest; and in addition you may need to send the Report from your old school as well. I would advise contacting your universities for their own requirements. If it's the first case, it seems like a weird situation but most likely you will have to send school reports from both institutions.</p>

<p>3) I don't think you have to submit the Mid-Year School Report (since all the relevant information will already be in the School Report); however once again you should email the universities you are applying at to learn about specific requirements.</p>

<p>4) Submit it from teachers who know you best or those you feel will be able to write the best recommendations for you.</p>

<p>5) Once again I am a bit confused. Surely if you are going to send the School Report then you do not need another transcript as well? If you really do need a transcript just ask your school to type one out for you (and make sure it includes grades of National examinations).</p>

<p>6) Yes you should probably contact the college. I suspect what you need to submit is an assignment or a coursework of some sort that you did while in school and that was marked by a teacher.</p>
