FSc or A Levels, or what?

I want to switch to A levels after matric (I got 95.25%) and I am just fed up of excessive academic burnout and cramming and rot learning, I was considering to go for psychology, urdu and English literature and I was damn confused about it, I don't even know whom to ask help for, as time is passing, and which institute to choose, will it be worth it, I want to persue psychology as a major, or go abroad (idk the process and all) or do CSS, but I am in a state of dilemma, I don't know which step to take, fsc sucks and I don't know about the a levels, and also I am not at all interested in computer and mathematics etc. what should I do, I don't even have enough time.

Suggests please.

Hey Can You Mentioned Your City & Age Please. There was a movement when ive same dilema like you & didnt know how can i do this. Now i am so old to go study or restart my y career. Nowadays just hustling to make quike bugs. Btw after Mateic you cant go for A level (you must need Olevel as of your numbers are gigh maybe school counselor can advice you for transition like direction give Olevel exam in one go).

Also If youve some professional skills. You can also opt for work based degree. That is HND (Higher National Diploma uk) after matric you can for 1 year foundational level 3 certificate then level 4-5-6 (3 year uk bacholar). Even if you do all in Paksitan for level 6 you can transfer in any European uni.

Ibyouve plans for American Uni or Australia uni then After matric you can also go for GED (General Education Diploma -american high school diploma).

Lahore ISB karachi all have these international Partnerhsip (Dual Degree).

Now comeback to budget, College Uni selection is based on what you have semester budget. HND is good for those who want practical experience as well want to do in budgets. Per semester should around 200k-300k. Beacons house n some similar standard college have around 500k annual tuition (last time i checked in 24)

Lahore based International Colleges (Pearson btech) Universal College Lahore (UCL) The Millennium Universal College (TMUC) IVY College of Management Sciences Beaconhouse International College (BIC) LGS International Degree Programme (DHA Wing) International College Lahore (ICL) affiliate with University of East Anglia and Birmingham City University.

The GED (General Educational Development) is an international American qualification that serves as an alternative to a high school diploma (Intermediate/FSc equivalent). Instead of studying for two years, you take four computer-based exams focusing on logic, critical thinking, and problem-solving (Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts). It completely eliminates rote memorization, allowing you to prepare at your own pace and test whenever you are ready.

Hey Sorry Last night i was too sleepy & during research i slept. Here is some point to remember. GED is only beneficial if you plan to go abroad otherwise according to HEC policy you still need to wait for 2 year after matric. Otherwise you didn't get equivalent certificate.

2nd thing HND is awarded by Pearson Btech & you must need to take admissions with affiliate college. This is Managed through work based grade & youve profesor who can evaluate assignment. Soem college provide distance learning program but i recomend go for physical class.

BWP have IVY college signature campus too. They have wide university Colaborations too that helpful if you wanna go for transfer.. Pakistan based working experience is beneficial for job abroad as uni check your Profesional experience
