Re: Pakistani students Shine!
I guess you need to visit Beacon House, The City School or Lahore Grammar School in Lahore for the level of studies in O or A levels in those schools. That will give you an idea. I don't know where in the world you get the notion that O or A levels is a "piece" of cake??
If it's not recognized, than why all the lakh or krore patis would be sending their kids to these units rather doing simple Matriculation? Huh!!

The standard was very low especially in maths & science, compared to what I had learnt at school in India, my results were impressive. Even English was very easy, Hindi studies perhaps a 12 year old could have done well!!
But when I joined University in India, I always felt I was struggling trying to catch up to what the Indian students had learnt at an Indian school.
Perhaps 'A' levels has a decent standard, but do not forget you'll have to study an additional 2 years just to join university.
Perhaps the 'O' levels is of a better standard in England? Pakistan? But I doubt it.
