Then how do u rate Thinking Skills

Thinking Skills has no worth or credit in terms of university admissions. Although the course work may teach you some essential techniques for answering questions of other Subjects it cannot be considered as an additional subject. How about Economics if you are looking for challenging course work (it is well credited).
If you are looking for an easy scoring subject sociology may be an option assuming that you have good rote learning and essay writing skills. :p

^^^^^ And the same goes for G.P

Don't even think of giving it, as it will just be a waste of time, English Language would be a better option.

I didn't actually get your point of 'half' or 'full' credit. Simply put thinking skills is not considered as an additional subject and has 'no credit'. I know this because i had thinking skills at A level and all my university offers either from UK or in pakistan categorically disregarded my Thinking skills grade. For instance, my Durham university offer was A*AA in any subject except Thinking skills.

Well General Paper is compulsory for university admissions. The only alternative to it is English language which needs to be treated & prepared for as an individual subject. Even then English language is not considered as an additional subject.

Opt for any extra subject you like or want to learn about if you want to take an extra subject for the sake of it for e.g Economics (if you are interested in economy), Business studies (if you want to learn about business), Psychology (teacher is needed for preparation in most cases), Sociology (can be self-studied), Urdu (not credited by some universities abroad). As i said before if you want a challenging subject you can take economics. However if you need an easy cut sociology is good (but you need to be good at rote learning). Furthermore, given the pressure and different structure of A level in comparison to O level I would advise you to attend a few A level classes and then if you feel comfortable with taking extra elective, start studying for AS level sociology (privately) 6 months before A1 examination.
Best of luck ! :)

I did further maths without a strong background in maths before hand. It would really depend on how long you plan on studying and your math ability. Futher maths will screw you ten times over if you don't know what your doing! My friend who will be studying mechanical engineering wrote maths, physics, chemistry in the may/june exams and will be writing further maths in oct/nov

A senior has suggested me to take F.maths for 4 5 months and continue it if it doesn't causes problems.
How about that?
