O LEVELS Guide and Preparation

                 Scoring Quality Grades In Olevels !

 Ordinary Level ! A UK based education system providing quality examination process over 200 countries across the globe. O level perhaps is now one of the most preferred option among the students of every nationality. But as the number of candidates increase with every passing year the chances of securing competitive grades become difficult. You would be proud to know that Pakistanis are the ones grabbing top grades in CIE O level every year . Haroon Tariq , our best example and a shinning star of our country recently broke record by obtaining 47 As in O & A level in year 2013. But this is not pretty easy dear ! It all requires hardwork blended with careful planning and systematic learning . It is our dilemma of studying in this rote-learning system from class 1 and students shifting to O levels find it quite difficult to balance and change their mind as per requirement .

O Levels In Pakistan ! One must be aware of the challenges coming up his / her way before one opt this foreign  method of education. I think it is my utmost responsibility to inform you regarding the scope of O levels in Pakistan. And its sad that it is quite dull . Yes dear it is ! There is no doubt that O levels surely boost up your thinking capability and English speaking and writing power . But alas ! you would feel regret that marks are deducted by the IBCC ( Inter Board Committee Chairman ) when you get the equivalence certificate to apply in Pakistani universities , but there is absolutely no problem if you are applying abroad.




Steps For Success ! As per my experience you must consider the following steps to get quality grades on your hardcopy !


Selection of School / Academy !
There is undoubtedly no need to join some high profile academies demanding heavy cash for your tuition if your school teachers are competitive enough for you . So it is extremely important that you choose your school or if not then academy very very vigilantly and carefully.

LGS
Beacon
City

are top listed schools across Pakistan . And if you are in them , pleases do not join academy for any reason as it would just a wastage a money for you . And if you have some different schooling then again it is utmost necessary now to join some quality academy .

Green Hall
IBT
Salt
Lahore Learning Campus
to name a few in Lahore .




Choosing Subjects !
My best advice would be taking up only 9 subjects ( 8 compulsory and 1 optional ) . The 1 optional subject would save you if by chance you get a B in any other subject especially English , the dangerous monster ! The optional subject could be ( listed by my preference )

Combined Science ( same syllabi as of phy , bio , chem) (simplest of all)
Commerce
Sociology
Urdu B
Economics
World History

So be careful in choosing your subjects , but it would be just a waste to opt 12 or 15 subjects as it would totally of no value later. It just divide your attention from your compulsory subjects and later turn out to be a source of regret .

   3.Preparation!  
       Now is the most important part of your exam , the preparation . Make your full preparation  at least 1.5 months before your exam . Read carefully all your notes and books but it is the need of hour that you must study them conceptually . Learning them by heart would be of no use as there are complete unseen questions. The remaining half month would be for the revision and the last part would be only and only for past papers . It is my advice to do at least 5 years past papers of all the subjects you opted for !

                                   FINAL WORDS !
Now that you have chosen this system , just go for it . Remember nothing is impossible . Just believe in yourself and work hard , success would be yours . Good Luck !

“ Allah Almighty has only given you the capacity to work hard , Success and failure is determined by Him . Remember a person never looses unless he himself accepts it “
