Here are the recommendations of different subjects.

English Precis and Composition = Wren & Martin or Exploring the world of English

Pakistan Affairs = Trek to Pakistan and there is one book by I.H Qureshi (Univ of Sindh), sorry I forgot the name..

Current Affairs = Times Magazine, Diplomat, Economist and dDawn Newspaper

Islamiyat = Islam it's meaning and message, and there is a book by 2014 topper. I would recommend it.

For optionals


Sociology = Virtual university notes, & Horton and Hunt

Journalism = Abid Tehami & Understanding Journalism by Lynette Sheridan Burns

Philosophy 1 = Irving Copi Or Patrick Hurley
Philosophy 2 = Internet sources

US history = NOA academy notes + Internet

International Law = S.K Kapoor.
Aoa,
I have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind answering.

1. For philosophy 1 specifically symbolic logic I read Copi's book because it treats symbolic logic and classical logic separately unlike Hurley. Is the chapter named "Symbolic Logic" in the Copi book enough to cover the symbolic logic portion of the syllabus?

2. Did you skip any chapters from Horton and Hunt while studying Sociology?

3. Did you find NOA notes sufficient for US history or should a book be followed along with it?

4. If you remember the name of the Islamiat book by the topper please share.
Thanks for reading.
