AICE Diploma. Help and suggestions

[hamzaj]

Hey guys, I am gonna be doing AICE diploma in may june 2013. My current subjects are physics,business,economics,accelerated maths, urdu(half credit), and am stuck at chosing another subject. I dont want to take any other sciences cuz' it's too late. I was thinking about thinking skills and psychology. Which one would you prefer in which I can easily get an A.
Also, what's the benefit of doing this diploma.
Need urgent help!!!

Thinking Skills.

Thinking Skills.

Would it be easy? Also, I just got to know that cuz of acc. maths i would have 2 credits, that means 5.5 credits. Can you prefer me a half credit subject which I could take? Thanks,

AS-Thinking skills is half-credit. Yes, it'd be easy. Easier than psychology, at least.

Hello!
I suggest that you do not choose subjects based on their level of ease. What's the point of doing something that's easy? That said, thinking skills is great subject, but you should definitely make your choice based on your interest. Taking economics and business together has little point; the two subjects cover the same material in places and reduce your overall credits.

Hello!
Do economics and business make 2 credits or 1.5 in AS' level?

Yes, of course.

Yes, of course.

Thank you so much for your reply
The Urdu Syllabus says a staged assessment is not allowed and candidates have to appear at A Level which is the second year. So how can I appear for Urdu at AS Level i.e the first year? Please do let me know.

Because there is a separate Urdu subject for AS level (8686) and a separate one for A-level (9676).

Just one more thing. Can you please recommend a good book for AS Urdu please.
Thank you.

If I appear for AS 8686, can I then appear for 9676 in A Level?
Would that count as one A Level credit?

Thank you.

I don't know of any particular book but if your Urdu is fairly good, you should be able to do it by reading any good book that has comprehension passages and some essays in it.

No, that's not possible. But if you choose to go for 9676, you are also required to take the AS Urdu papers (same as those of 8686).
