Well, I've gone through my O levels and now it is time to think whether to do F.Sc OR A levels. (If moderators or Admins think that this is not the place for this topic, then they may move it)

During my o-levels, I was damn sure that I will do A levels, but I've heard many things about the equivalence, etc. So, this has forced me to get advice of the students of A-Levels. I just wanted to know that as I want to live in pakistan and do a job over here in future, people have advised me to do F.Sc. Plus, they're telling me If I would do A levels, then I won't get admission in the GOOD universities of Lahore. =/ I'm really not interested in doing F.Sc, and I really want to do A levels, as I want to do Further Mathematics, etc. Also, I'm afraid of Islamiat and Urdu of F.Sc. =@

Please help me out! Please!

Shoot for the moon. A* will get a higher equivalance. Don't sacrifice the skills that A level will indulge in u for a few marks.

Do A-levels,start preparing for your LCAT from these holidays...as you hardly get free time during your A-levels,and then apply at LUMS.

I'll do Engineering. ^_^
@All above: I REALLY WANT TO DO A-levels, but I've seen a senior who did A-levels and he didn't get admission in ANY university, so now he's doing F.Sc. Can you imagine that? This is very UNFAIR. I'm afraid about my admission, that's why I'm asking for suggestion

For universities in Pakistan, your O/A Level result doesn't count for much as long as you've met the minimum grade requirements for applying to a particular university.

The most important thing is your entry exam! You have to prepare for it by giving it your best!

If you score high in your Entry Exam then no way a Pakistani University would ever reject you. But keep in mind most of the Engineering University entry exam test is based on FSC syllabus!

You can do A Level without any worries. It's usually A Level students who get highest grades in the internal university exams and maintain higher GP. Mostly because O/A Level has built a very good conceptual and practical base for them and nothing seems too hard for them ;)

The best part is, O/A Level degree is worldwide recognized unlike FSC ;)

Seriously, I don't want to go abroad now. As they call us terrorists and I've seen that how they treat us, etc. I'm afraid to go Abroad now. =|
