The debate over the “proper” number of subjects and subject combinations that students should take has been sparked by students scoring more than 15 points (3 As) at the Advanced Level (A-Level).
In a previous article, Pindula News stated that some analysts believe it is not necessary to take more than the standard three subjects, while others contend that adding extra subjects gives students more options than those who adhere to the customary three.

Some say the recommended number of subjects at A-Level is 3-4, adding that the best number should depend on the student’s abilities and goals.
Participants of the radio show “Mhuri YeZimbabwe,” which was hosted by Chivandika and sponsored by Success Network Africa, emphasised the need for career counselling. Listen to the audio below for more:
Zimsec should just set a limit to protect the credibility of our Education system
4 should be the max for those who are able to take them up.
l second you othryz taking 10 subjects is not necessary considering my fact it only 3 best r usually required
Indeed, it's not necessary to burden your child with so many subjects at O and A level. Some of those subjects are even related if not the same and Employers count them as one.. The minimum O level requirement is 5 Os for A levels is three connected Subjects, I say connected subjects because it's the combination that is required in further studies.. Without that combo you are just as good as some O level chaps across the street.
