Hi all.
I just moved to Pakistan from the U.S. I completed 9th grade there and in pakistan I am supposed to be entering 10th grade. I understand that here 9 and 10 are a pair in the matric system that you have to do from the same school. So I am thinking of doing o levels so I can get admission in 10th grade and not have to repeat 9 (the school said I can do that). My questions are:
1) O level is 9, 10, 11, correct? Is the 11th grade (3rd year of o level) considered first year of inter? As in after completing my o levels I can take admissions in second year? Or will I have to do 1st year after 11th grade? <-most important question!
2)can I apply for universities outside of Pakistan if I dont do a levels and just pass inter? Or do I have to do a levels in order to apply for universities outside of pakistan?
3) is there anyway I can do matric in 10th grade without having to repeat 9th grade?
4) who is considered an international student here in pakistani universities? (How much have they studied outside to be considered international)
Thank you very much. This is my first post here. I really hope you guys can help me out I am very confused. Please put it I to simple terms, I dont understand all the acrobyms and the education terms used here. It is my first year here.
