AOA,Hi,
I have completed my o levels with the subject combo of phy, chemistry, add maths ,maths,business studies and accounts(which I took privately and it was not done well) .The thing which I want to ask is about my subject selection in A levels. what subject combination should I take if I want to opt for Chartered accountancy keeping my science subjects as well.Is it necessarily required to take a accounts in A levels, if I wish to go for Chartered accountancy. I would be highly obliged to get a prompt reply ,thanks

no its no necessary that you take accounting in your a'levels. many students enter CA and do well who are from science background.

still... accounts and economics will definitely help you bcz they are in CA (Pak) as well. now for the other remaining subject other than GP, business studies used to be my favorite and that will give you an overall approach to managing and running a business which will prove to be a good foundation. but maths is very important and is a must so depends how many subjects you are willing to take besides GP

you already mentioned 3 ie physics chem and maths/further maths. 4th will be GP. its enough. why you want to take more subjects. 3 a'levels subjects is the standard.

thankyou very much for replying.
nowadays, there is a popular trend of taking five subjects,I want to ask is would taking further maths after accelerated maths would be good?
and what about economics?and general paper?

look these subject selection specially further maths help if you want to apply to a university. since CA does not have any specific requirement for entrance other than the minimum qualification, you are free to select whtever subjects you want to select. if you want to take 5 subjects, then go for it. it is up to you
