Math, Econ, Physics, Further Math with Stat option, and ofcourse...General paper. Why physics? Because it makes u a man...

And on a more serious note, take subjects that you like and can get good grades in, anything math/econ. Most importantly, sit for SOA/IOA prelim exams atleast once during ur A-levs. Try to intern during ur summers. Good luck.

Further Maths, Maths, Economics, Accounts.

I presume if you change your mind and plan for something else after your GCE, you would probably go towards commerce. So these subjects would be the best choice for you.

I would strongly recommend getting a bachelors if you ever intend to work outside Pakistan. I have a feeling US companies require a bachelors...but I could be wrong. Masters...don't sweat it! Doesn't matter beyond bachelors in this field.

Take as many maths / stats modules possible during your A Levels. You also need some understanding of Finance, so also make a habit of reading business pages of a good quality national/international paper.
