I hope I have been clear in m query
I did not cram many quotations to be honest... Choose few really important ones and stick them on your room's wall. Also if you can't remember exactly words don't put inverted commas...that implies that the quotation is not exact but do write it in bold letters or different color.
Also try to grasp concept and limit cramming to very small part as the syllabus is so much that you can't revise it like that lady.

That means examiners' are interested to see better paragraphing, cohesion, sentence structure, grammatical mistakes, eye catching outline and comprehension of topic and not only usage of difficult words ( some try to adjust tough words deliberately to make an impression ).
Did you take all classes in NOA CSS Academdy, how long a batch lasts ( I mean in 3 months they cover all syllabus or not ) ?
Next batch is going to start from July 12, I am thinking to get admission so that with discipline I wind up the course. So far, I have almost completed History of USA and some of the topics of IR-1.

I have these optional subjects:
International Relations
International Law
History of USA
Sociology
Environmental Sciences

Awaiting your reply.
Thanks!
Yes focus on correct English...you must have your unique writing style.dont corrupt it with inserting vocabulary.
And batch usually extends for 4,5 months and yes u took all classes as much as they could provide us. I don't think they will complete in 4 months strictly.
