Whether you are in Lahore or Islamabad, or any country like UK and USA, you only need a good internet connection to get help for your studies. I am offering Skype tuitions for the Sciences and Mathematics. From completing the courses, to a simple past papers session, I will be here to help you in all your problems. Regular daily classes, or lessons once a month, its your choice.
My credentials can be found in my other post. I have experience of teaching on Skype previously, and it is very much similar to the normal live teaching experience. In fact, sharing of resources is much easier and more economical over the internet.
Contact me at hamid391@gmail.com if you are interested.

Equivalence Calculator - O/A'levels to Matric/FSc
Many students are unaware of the exact equivalence process during their O/A'levels. And as I have stated in my other posts, knowing this process can really be essential to make a decision regarding your future, such as the decision to do A'levels or FSc after O'levels.
In this post I will not only state the procedure, but anyone can comment below with their grades, and I'll calculate their equivalence and percentage myself.
Here are the forms and documents posted on the IBCC website that are necessary for getting your certificate made: Equivalence Form and Equivalence Details.
Firstly, you need to understand that the following procedure started taking place for the exams including and after the June 2010 session, and if you have a subject that you appeared before 2010 will have different rules.
Secondly, every grade in O'levels and A'levels is given a specific number of marks, and you need to have 8 subjects-including Pakistan Studies, Islamiat and Urdu- if you did your O'levels from Pakistan, and 5 subjects if you did it from abroad or are in possession of a foreign passport.
If you have Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Computer Studies as your optional subjects, you get a "Science" certificate but in case your 8th subject is Additional Mathematics, you'll get an "Arts" certificate, along with any other combination of subjects.
The following marks are specified for each grade in both O and A'levels:
A*=90
A=85
B=75
C=65
D=55 and so on..
The marks given in the certificate are out of 900 and not 800.
Example: A local student, Akram, gets 4A*s, 2As, 1B and 1D in his O'levels, so his equivalence will be calculated as follows:
4*90+2*85+75+55= 660/800
Now converting it to total of 900, 660*900/800 = 742.5/900
So this guy will have 742.5 on his Matric certificate.
For A'levels equivalence you need to have given 8 subjects in O'levels and 3 subjects in A'levels, with Physics, Chemistry and Biology for Pre-Medical and Mathematics instead of Biology for Pre-Engineering. The 3 subjects marks are added to the 8 of the O'levels to give you an equivalence of FSc marks out of 1100.
Example for A'levels Equivalence: Akram now gets 1A*, 1B and 1C in his A'levels, so he got 90+75+65 = 230/300 in his A'levels alone. To find his FSc equivalence I'll add these to his O'levels marks out of 800, 230+660 = 890
So basically, this is how you calculate the equivalent marks of FSc and Matric if you are following the British education system. If you have any queries, leave a comment.
