ADFP...AllDayFunAndPlay...punch in the face to who said this to you...

Before i entered INTEC for ADFP(American Degree Foundation Program) , all i know is that ADFP stands for All Day Fun And Play according from the seniors... I trusted them for a while...but not now...ADFP in my opinion, is the second most hectic preparation program in INTEC after AUSMAT!!

i almost forgot to tell you that, during your stay in INTEC, you’ll get involved with countless presentations...be prepared to hone your confidence before you enter INTEC...don’t worry too much though, as your confidence will increase over time...just try to stand out of the crowd and show to others that you are special...

The subject for the 1st semester is few though...only Islamic Studies, Language Awareness, Reading, Writing, and the brain-squishing precalculus, SAT, and TOEFL...
For Islamic studies, you don’t have to buy books from the seniors first as the lecturer may be using different book...just wait for the lecturer to announce which book you should buy...for anyone who had taken Tasawwur Islam during SPM, this subject is almost the same...only Tasawwur is broader...

Language Awareness...also known as grammar studies...this subject will hone your grammatical efficiency as well as your confidence when presenting in front of the class...the topic ranged from noun, verb, adverb, tenses, to modifiers...quite easy if you managed to get the grip of the logic of English grammar...this subject is the easiest to score among other subjects (for me...huhu).

Reading...the first time when i heard that i’ll be learning reading subject, I laughed till my stomach almost exploded...hahah...too hyperbolic i guess...i thought that i’ll be reading A B C again...hehe ...ok..this subject actually helps you to read better, especially long and complicated articles...if you are a regular TIME MAGAZINE or NAT-GEO MAG reader, then this subject will be easy for you...Reading and Language Awareness have some similarities...if you are good at LA, then you’ll do good for reading...

SAT...the class to help you in getting the grip of what an American-standard test will be...SAT classes wont be counted in your credit hours for your CGPA...you’ll be provided with hundreds of new lexicon (vocabulary) and jargons...but they’ll put the confusing lexicons in essays...the essays make learning when to use of the lexicons easier...

TOEFL a.k.a sleeping class...TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language) will test on reading skill, learning skill, speaking skill, and writing skill...each of these subpart of the TOEFL carries 30 marks, which will add up to the whole score of 120...79 is the minimum for you to fly...at first, this subject is very interesting as you’ll be learning in a computer lab equipped with internet...in the last part of the semester, it gets more boring...alas, this subject is the perfect time for me to sleep...ZzZzZz...

Writing class will teach you on how to write better of course...not only that, you’ll be required to write a journal or a diary about yourself...(i’m not good at writing diary..sob..)...it is almost the same as writing a blog, but only at different medium...be careful when writing about your dark secrets in your journal as the lecturer might spill out ‘accidentally’ some of your secrets to the whole class...haha...well that’s what happened to me and my friends...

Alas, the ‘subjek penggagal’ of the 1st semester for those who take ADFP – precalculus...most of the students, maybe more than 70% of the students failed to get even B- for this subject...almost alike with AddMath from secondary school, this subject only make the easy thing in addmath harder...even the easy matrices you’ve learnt from your modern math when it comes to precalculus, will be WAY harder...
