hey salam :)

dear, if you're from pakistan then you should take pakistan studies (olevel 2058) ( igcse 0448) and in this sub, you've to give history and geography both, cos i myself gave pakistan studies in olevel... though i don't have any kind of idea of history or geography as a particular subject.. but it depends on your choice.. if you're interested in any subject, you can get easily get A* even if that subject is difficult for any other person, if they can't do it doesn't mean YOU can't do it! if you find geo easy then go for it! Obviously its up to your interest and understanding.

hope that helped :)

I did Alevels World History. By the Grace of God, had an A grade in it. I DIDNOT give Olevels/IGCSE World History although I did study it

What I can say is that they both are much overlapping

I prepared notes for Alevel history which I am quite confident will definitely help u in Olevels/IGCSE

You can download and view them. You can also ask me any question you find difficult

I studied
Italian unification
German unification
Rise of Hitler and Mussolini
Russian (Tsar, Lenin and Stalin)
Imperialism
Cold War (whole)
China
Nuclear Arms

And I think Norman Lowe book "Mastering Modern World History" is very good

If you could do the course textbooks and the note I pasted, then it should be enough
Read english newspaper everyday as the paper is also a test of your standard of of english
