Students usually select three main subjects based on their chosen stream(Mathes, Science, Art, Technology), along with General English and sometimes General Knowledge.

Yes, but it is not recommended after a certain point. Changing streams late can make it difficult to catch up with missed lessons and syllabus content.

There is no “best” stream for everyone. The best choice depends on the student’s interests, strengths, and future career goals.

Not necessarily. However, having a general idea about future interests helps in selecting the most suitable stream.

If you realize early, you may be able to switch. Otherwise, with the right effort and guidance (like support from tutors), students can still succeed.

A/L results are very important, as they determine eligibility and ranking for admission to state universities in Sri Lanka.

Parents should guide and support, but the final decision should be made by the student, considering their own interests and abilities.
