These notes are available @ Officers Academy Only in Lahore.

as an alternative of Golden Notes you can also consult 2 or 3 editions of "Contemporary Affairs" By Imtiaz Shahid...

Talking about the Current Affairs paper...Use same book by Imtiaz Shahid (mentioned above) for preparation...a far as paper attemption is concerned...first of all read the question atleast thrice before attempting so that you understand completely,what the examiners wants to ask? Please do'nt be too quick to start writing your answer.

- In current affairs paper always start from the current status of the problem being asked (1-2 page),then 1-1.5 page historical background then 1-2 page future projections and in the end 1-1.5 page conclusion (your comments and suggestion regarding the topic.

-Future projections and your personal comments regarding the topic are the important part of your answer, the candidate who attempts this portion of the Q good,gets good marks.

-Current affairs paper basically judges the ability of the candidate to express his/her opinion on any topic or issue..simply reproduction of thoughts printed in books would'nt fetch good marks...Its sort of creative writing on current and global issues...for which one must be a regular reader of Dawn and the Economist (Quarterly "www.economist.com") and do listen to News on Dawn News and BBC News
