I really don't understand the criteria of 'high' and 'low' scoring subjects? can u explain how this works? or its just a trend that we blindly follow?

Sociology is not my subject, I never studied it and i dont have any interest whatsoever in it, therefore i donot consider it prudent to opt for it. Sindhi I can speak, but cannot write, being of Sindhi descent, i admit its a shame, and i promise to work on it, but now is not the time.
Well, I personally do not know about the books, you are referring to.
I am therefore not in a capacity to rate them as effective or ineffective. Perhaps some other member here can do the needful.

2. The phenomenon of HI and LOW scoring Subjects is a result of general survey that we come to know after the content assessment by SPSC PCS.
The probable factors behind this bleak trend are majorly;
1. Heightened caliber of the copy checkers (say PHd holders)
2. Heap of Copies, lesser time and interest of assessors
3. Depth of a subject (excessively theoretical,abstract or
controversial nature) that is hard to do justice with in allotted time

3. That is very pleasant to know that you enjoy a upper hand at your subject. It is also important to know that assessment boards of SPSC(pcs) and that of university, college are pole apart. Both have a diversified set of standards to follow. PCS is a competitive exam and the procedures and modules of assessment can be toughened as per the fluctuating policy. that is modified specially in the face of huge candidates for meager number of posts. on the other hand its never the case with university or college board examinations. aint?

4. Its alright if you are having scruples to go for sociology (facile study of society). You can have a cursory view of the syllabus and find out what subjects excite your interest. Opt for them thereafter.

6. Having studied the past papers of I.R, if you are sure of yourself that you can well handle it as per the PCS requirements... You should give it a try... save your time for other un prepared subjects....


Wishing you a very good luck
