Cambridge O Level Extra Subjects.!!!!!

[Deadly Orchid]

By the way which one is easier? I mean I m good in Urdu but I can't decide which will give me more marks???

Urdu B is easier and simpler because it is Urdu as a Second Language (try checking the past papers of both so you can get an idea of the difference in the paper pattern) as well as its like a general paper (except the idioms, u have to learn them to make sentences with them) because its purely language and grammar . Urdu A comprises a Literature component and therefore it might be challenging. If you're good in interpreting those urdu texts, ghazals etc and can write a 25 marks essay, its ok. As for the grades, A* might be a little hard to get in Urdu B but you will definitely get A if your Urdu is fine (you needn't have complex vocabulary, urdu B prefers simple language). I suggest Urdu B because there isn't much difference in the credit, so why not opt for an easier option with having no disadvantages

wat abut EM..??

Environmental management is an easy subject.

 

[Iwantthatusername]

I'm a little late, all I want to add is that EM is a pretty good choice. I study it, and seriously, you just need to know some basic stuff, and build on them. If you know how to effectively tackle all those environmental issues out there, you're pretty good. Just don't depend on any teacher, cuz the subject is quite uncommon and most of the teachers (which are quite rare) stink. Rely on variuos books, articles and talks. The environment is a pretty hot topic these days, so you should have no trouble. BUT, make sure you know what you're doing, you might have to analyse your suggestions too. Be prepared to write a LOT, and have info abt different disasters, and the places affected. Paper 2 is all case study.
I think Travel and Tourism is easy too. I am planning on taking it, hopefully it'll be available cuz that Syed Zohaib Asad guy gave the CIE.

Take additional subjects only if you are interested in them and want to expand your knowledge. Otherwise, extra A*'s don't mean anything if you want to study in Pakistan. ( especially if you want to enter the medical field ). You should rather focus on your compulsories.However, if there is one additional subject worth taking, it's Add-Maths. Taking Stats or Commerce or Environmental Management won't help you as much as Add-Maths will. In my opinion, getting 8A*'s is better then 5A*'s and 7A's or something. Make your decision wisely.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

But what if we want to study abroad?
A person who has 15 A's.. would be preferred over someone with 8 A's.

I referred to internet for most of syllabus coverage, plus i used the GCSE revision guide and four different books of geography (none of the books were Cambridge endorsed and had most material out of syllabus and unnecessary). For books, you can refer to cambridge's website and get one of the suggested books, but they are not easily available.

In that case, extra A's will certainly be helpful.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Which is better?

1) 10 A*'s and out of those 10, 5 Distinctions.
2) 16 A*'s and 1 Distinction.

man who gets 5 distincions? getting 1 is quite an achievement too
just do your compulsory subjects strong and get A* in them, then think about extras and only if ure interested in them, little use for the purpose of just getting A*s.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Still, which option is better. 1 or 2?

Of course 1, I'd love these many distinctions even if I got 5 A*s

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Everyone these days gives around 9 subjects.
9 A*'s is like a normal thing these days!
In Order to get into the best Universities, i heard lots of A*'s are a must.
And a few distinctions would boost the impression.

Yeah, but most of the universities count they're entry tests more
A single distinction is worth more than many A*s, and especially subjects like Pak. Studies,Urdu etc.

Pakstudies and Urdu are not that much counted in foreign universities.
Sciences are the most important there.

That's what I said, these subjects and extras don't count much
Sciences, maths and english are way more important.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

One should concentrate on mastering those.

Exactly. Try to get A*s in all of them.
