History (2147) Advice

[Ans Azeem]

I was thinking about opting for the new subject History (2147) which will be effective from 2020. I need advice that should I take History (Modern World Affairs) (2134) with Urdu, Pak Std and Islamiat or not. I'm worried because I have to give CIE O Levels in 2020 and there will be no past papers, notes or other resources to take help from. And can i prepare without resources?

I have the same plan as well. But the last session for Modern World History exam will be taken in Oct/Nov 2019 after which History 2147 will replace MWH. I am opting for this subject as the IGCSE History and OL history have the same curriculum and hence the past papers and resources of IG will be sufficient for excelling at the OL History exam.
