First of all, you need to ask yourself if you're going to be able to handle 4 major subjects. A-Levels isn't very easy to begin with and if you take 4 subjects, then you're gonna have to work really hard. I hope you don't think I'm demotivating you, I'm just making sure you're ready to handle four big subjects. I took the four subjects you mentioned and I ended up dropping BS half way through the year.

Nevertheless, the most important point I can give you is something very simple. After every class, revise whatever your teacher taught you. I cannot stress how important that is because chances are, if you don't revise the topic, then you'll end up forgetting it by the time you move on to the next topic. Buy topical past papers, and whenever you finish a topic, try its questions from the past papers. Most kids ignore the past papers until the last few months and end up very frightened because of how difficult they are. This goes for Economics especially. The questions in the Econ past papers are really confusing. These are very general tips but they apply to everything. There's no easy way out of this. Try learning from the best teachers, I personally believe Sir Zarak Mushtaq to be the best teacher for Economics and Sir Ahmed Saya to be the best teacher for Accounts and Maths.

Keep in mind, that because you've shifted from science to commerce, you'll see commerce background students performing better than you. Don't let that demotivate you. I, myself, switched from science to commerce because I lost interest in Physics and I, Alhamdullilah, did well in my A-levels final CIEs.

If you were good at IGCSE Maths and are good at math in general, then by all means, take up Maths, but if you're an idiot like me, then don't. Don't even consider it for a minute.

Btw welcome the commerce club. :)

Thanks.But any certain tips to excel.
I have mostly the same advise as Taha gave you in his post. Get topical past paper books and start doing those. My teachers made me do that and I'll be honest, it's the only way to get good grades.
Memorizing the book isn't going to help you write acceptable answers since you have to apply a lot of your own knowledge and give an analysis in most questions which the book can not help you do. Start practicing different questions and ask your teacher how they are and how you could improve.

I did the exact same as what you're doing, the only difference was that I studied computing instead of b.s. I also had sciences in O levels and later switched and let me tell you these accounting, economics, B.s(didnt study but know from experience) are easy as shit. Maths are really hard in A levels, maths alone will pose more problems than all other 3 subjects combined. I loved maths so it wasn't that hard for me. I found economics the hardest since I hate writing long structured answers.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
