I wasn't very much happy with this outline though, I successfully managed to secure 50 marks. The reason why I wasn't satisfied with this outline is that I often get confused by such topics that are open to wide discussion and different interpretation. In 2013, I got 45 marks, and this year 50. As per my experience, I recommend all not to pick generic topics
