In the recent June 2006 GCE A-Level examination, students of Methodist College Kuala Lumpur brought honour to the College in achieving outstanding results. Out of 45 students who completed their final examination, 11 (24% of the cohort) scored the maximum four A's each while another 6 students (13%) scored three A's each. In total, 37% of the candidates scored a minimum of 3A's or more in the A-Level examination (Refer to Table 1 for list of names.)

For the individual subjects, the students did very well in Mathematics where 73% of the candidates scored A's (distinction). In Chemistry, 53% of the candidates scored an A, while 44% of the candidates scored A's in Physics and 30% in Biology. The students also did well in the arts subjects, especially in Law, Economics and Accounting. (Refer to Table 2 for more details.)

Spirit of Excellence
Miss Moey Yoke Lai, the Chief Executive Officer, congratulated the students and the lecturers for the hard work they have put in and their success. She said, "It was indeed an amazing achievement! The spirit of excelling in all that we do, friendly competition among a talented group of students and the dedication of the academic staff made all this possible. For many of these students, a solid academic foundation has been laid during their secondary schooling at Wesley Methodist School, Sentul and other premier schools in the country. The continuing drive for excellence at MCKL for one and a half years in A-Level has resulted in this good success".

The Director of Pre-University Studies, Datin N. Nadarajah, expressed her great excitement that many of the students have obtained admission offers from some of the renowned foreign universities, even before they completed their pre-university studies. Many of the students were also active in extra-curricular activities besides doing well in their studies. She said that some have even secured full and partial scholarships for their university studies.
