we don't.


oh wait, there's business.
but yeah, that's about it -.-

Uhh accounting, economics, business, computing, maths, bio, chem, phy, english (not sure); for us guys atleast. :)

English/General Paper is not necessary, wtf?

I don't know about that. I still say take Physics to be safe, it has a short syllabus and is quite easy. (said the re-sitter lol)
I think Maths can replace Physics for medicine, but I am not sure. I took Bio, Chem, Phy and Computing.

For abroad, I think only a decent grade in IGCSE English, yes.

Plus, universities look more at your TOEFL and IELTS scores; so do them after your A Levels (for bonus points).

I think its only for the southasian subcontinent; i.e. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

We do not know about any such rule.

Also, my friend in Pakistan said they make them do classes for "GP - General Paper | English" in AS but they don't give the exam (wtf?). Then it's not compulsory in A2. lol :S
