Hi Maisum,
I did O/A levels too. You do not REQUIRE any specific subjects for doing CA, but if u choose ur subjects sensibly it will help u a lot in passing CA exams. Since u are in the 10th grade, give ur Pakistan Studies, Urdu & Islamiyat papers for now. These are the "ratta" ones & I would strongly advise u to get rid of them in the 10th grade. For O-levels, I think the following subjects do help u a lot
1) English
2) Maths
3) Add Maths (Yes, Add maths ! It helps u a lot in A-levels Maths too)
4) Computer Studies (It gives u a nice introduction to IT papers. I know the project sucks but keep it!)
5) Accounts (O-Level accs is childs play. You can take private tutions from Sir Neol or Ameen Navroz)
As u can see, the science subjects dont help that much. However, I beleive that taking science subjects at O-levels "broadens" ur mind & I have no regrets on taking Physics & Chem during my O-levels. Eco is not sufficient "instead" of Accounts. Our school (KGS) didnt let kids who didnt have O-level acc's to do A-level accs (becoz A-level accounts is complex). You can even drop Eco in O-levels & still take it in A-levels & cover it easily ! (I did this, I didnt have eco in O-levels but I took it in A-levels). For A-levels, I recommend the following subjects
1) Accounts (This is a MUST)
2) Economics (It will help u a LOT in CA foundation)
3) Business Studies (This will help u a "bit" too.)
4) Maths (oh, Definitely very imp)
If ur A-level school only allows u to take 3 subjects, take Acc, ECo & Maths (Drop BS). Remember, all the advises I have given u will only HELP u to do CA. Its not neccesary to take these subjects but its neccesary to get at-least C grade in Maths & English. For now, concentrate on ur O-levels forget all this. You will have plenty of time in A-levels to plan everythg. And I would strongly advise u NOT to do A-levels privately in one yr.
Doing BBA & then CA is not at all a sensible option.
