Okay! I need urgent help!
I have studied in a pakistani school in peshawar till class 7, then my dad got transferred abroad and I studied in a British School which followed british curriculum (GCSE's).Now here's the part that really pisses me off...just before I started my GCSE's my dad got transferred back to pakistan...I'm currently in rawalpindi, pakistan and just got an admission in The City School. I chose the following subjects: Compulsry subjects , Chem, Physics, Computer Studies. The school wanted to put me in class 9, prep 3, because they thought I was crap at studies since I had studied in an intl. school. They gave me an enrty test for class. 9..Aced it easily and they put me in class 10, senior 1
My question is...what subjects should I put more effort into? considering the fact I have been in an intl. school and have not studied pak studies and urdu for three years
NOTE: I'm doing URDU SYLLABUS - B (easy urdu) (second lang)

You should probably wait for Abby but personally i think Urdu B is really easy so you should concentrate on Pak.Studies. U could scan and post an essay of urdu which shows your current level of Urdu.

I chose the following subjects:
- Complusries
- Chemistry
- Computer Studies
- Physics

Are these good choices for Engineering?
My dad wants me to get amazing grades and I'm going to try my best (I have been in an Intl. School and I was a A* student)
I am not quite sure If I did the right thing since I have joined a pakistani school after 3 whole years and chose such difficult subjects...
Will it be easy for me to get good marks...I really don't wanna let my dad and myself down. :unsure:
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know how that feels Zoha Khan..Unfortunately pakistanis don't really give a crap about such subjects which is just so sad. All you hear is ''Beta tum Engineer bano gay!''

If I were you I'd take Add Math aswell. If that's not an option, then Add Math instead of Computer

If you have a remote interest in it, go ahead and take it. Nothing out of the ordinary.

At O Levels, there's A LOT of choice in the World History paper. I think there are like 39 or 41 questions, the first one is compulsory and you have to do like 3-4 more from those. Loads and loads of choice.

If anyone wants an easy, easy A, Sociology, Environmental Management and Commerce are baby subjects which don't even require a teacher (I did them myself, just a book and me and started in mid-April of the exam session (i.e May). Got As and A*s in these despite the horrible prep. They are very, very easy. It's more general knowledge than science. Low GTs and loads of choice = A A A!

I want to ask isnt the syllabus of socio and EM too lengthy.

Lengthy?!

Are you kidding?? What shorter do you want? I gave EM w/o real prep, reading the summaries and a few past papers and gave Socio studying for a couple of days (although left a lot on choice, ofcourse). Not sure what you mean by lengthy, but if you found THESE subjects lengthy, wait till you get to A Levels!

Can you provide me wid EM and socio notes or any link where i can get some notes?

Dunno man. I really didn't study much for the two, the former in particular. I tried getting notes but it was no good. Likewise online. Thus, I resorted to skimming and skipping in case of EM -_-
