Quest for the Best Advice!

Guys I'll be completing my O'level in May/June 2013 InshaAllah and I'm in search for someone's advice regarding my choice of subjects.
I'm done with 3 subs (Stats, Pak. Studies and Islamiyat) and will be appearing for 7 more in May/June 2013:
English Language
Urdu B
Maths
Physics
Chemistry
Add. Maths
Computer Studies.
My friends have dispirited me and say that I should go for more subjects like World History, Geography, Commerce, Environmental Management etc. But I am specific about my field and want to focus on my stronger area and that's Mathematics! That's why I have Add. Maths and Stats as additional subjects.
What are your views??? Should I stick to the subjects I am currently studying or do I need to go for more too?

Aoa , I believe that u r totally right in your choice of subjects , because , I have given my O level exams in the May / June session of 2012 and I had a total of 8 subjects :) do not opt more subjects because you already have chosen alot , just be sure of what you have chosen and focus on it :) because during the final exam time u won't get enough time to eeven revise all the subjects , so in my opinion , master in your field , work hard and all the best for it :)

u seriously dont need to go for any more subjects! the more you choose, the more burden you take... i have already given my pprs in the m/j 2012 and trust me, 8 subjects are more than enough for a session... you have made a perfect choice, do not worry! :)

aoa...
when u are specific about ur feild then simply its non sense if u opt other additional subjects like comp etc and further thinking about more subjetcs ,coz in this sitution u will not be able to focus on your compulsory subjects and later on, this will result in poor grades and u will be securing very low marks in ur equivalence...so just concentrate on your remaining compulsory subjects :)

same as SalmanPakRocks unless you are some super genius... even then I'd say if you like/need subjects like commerce in ur future then give it otherwise it's just extra load...

well there is nothing wrong in taking up challenges... i think u should go for extra subjects atleast in O'levels(cuz its really simple n basic :p ) it broadens ur spectrum of thinking . I took 15 subjects in O'levels and Alhamdulillah got a very good result, although i was also a bit reluctant in taking up too many subjects but Allah(SWT) made it very easy for me, that i got a distinction in one of them Alhamdulillah that too without any tuition. :)

i would recommend you to go for EM(environmental management), (this subject is gaining a lot of scope abroad due to the increasing environmental issues today) n i found it easy when i was in O'levels and Alhamdulillah got an A*,you dont even need to take tuition for it just buy the Oxford EM book written by John Pallister start reading it, its self explanatory n u can easily do P1(which is the main ppr) for P2 which will be case study, you need to go thru past pprs cuz its a bit tricky...but dont worry inshaAllah u will do it! (y) (plus it will help u with O'levels chem n bio if u have them)

n yeah the most imp thing is Allah's Help, keep seeking for it from Allah. Try to make Him happy, n u will see how He will help you InshaAllah. :)
