if you want to do anything else than medical, A levels, and if medical, and if you want government medical colleges then Fsc.

Unless you want to go into K.E (for which you need around 1000 mcat marks if you are an A level person) do A levels. A level people make it into many other government colleges. Getting an 85% equivalence is entirely possible if you did well in O levels and were a straight A student. If you can't hack that, you can't hack medicine anyways.

It is now much different actually........previously it was the same as u are telling.......but now CIE has introduced A*'s in Pakistan :)
so if you have straight A*'s in both your O-levels and A-levels.....you score 990/ 1100 ......which is more than enough for admission in any university....whether its medical or Eng. :)
P.S. A* = 90 marks in your equivalence certificate! :)

Also the 10 40 50 formula for merit means if you ace the entry test you are in anywhere. You don't need to score a 95% when you can get everywhere with an 89%

Read this carefully
http://www.xtremepapers.com/community/threads/mcat-equivalence-this-is-important.20110/

In our school, with Alevels, we are hoping for around 20 students to get into govt medical colleges in Lahore (actually you MUST do alevels and not fsc. Ive NOT seen anyone going from olevels into fsc, and staying there and getting good grades. You can easily get 90% marks in equivalences. Please read the above link carefully)

If you want to study in Pakistan only , do FSc. But if you are interested in studying abroad, do A level. You should also do A level if you are a very good student and you are confident that you will have good marks even after conversion.

Do A'levels. The introduction of A* has improved our situation this time around and getting admission in government colleges is not as tough as it was once. I believe we now have an equal chance of getting admission as compared to the fsc people. All those advocating for FSC here are not aware of that. A'levels will allow you to keep your options and apply to a broad range of universities instead of getting stuck in one field unlike in fsc where you'll have to choose between Biology and Mathematics beforehand. The only reason why people used to prefer FSC over A'levels was to better their chances at getting admission in government colleges. But as I said before, that reason too has been nullified with the introduction of A*. So I'll recommend A'levels in any case.
