@ Mansoor Arshad: Go through the previous pages of this thread geography notes have been uploaded by a fellow forum member

@ S. Ranjha: There is no need to take the pressure of 500 candidates who have been interviewed before you; the interview board will view you as the same. Talking about national and international issues is not rocket science, the ones before you didnt say any thing special; neither will you. Try not to be over smart when answering questions. They just need to know you are up to date. If you dont know about something they ask, tell them so and its no big deal.

@Snobbish: Newspapers columns; you should keep in mind that newspaper columns are too many and the questions that you have to attempt are four. Maintain a list of say 20-25 probable topics that can come in next year's paper, collect articles about them and be very focused and selective when choosing articles for a topic. Then highlight a couple of paragraphs/lines (depending on how good the article is) to remember. Its up to you how you maintain your data, in form of cuttings or write highlighted material in a notebook.

@ Zubair Rana: I failed mercantile law; it was an excellent learning experince and i still wonder what went wrong? i had a great paper. So to be on the safer side, go for sociology, journalism etc. I wouldnt recommend anybody whose never studied mercantile law before to opt for it in css exam.

Yesterday I went to Urdu Bazar, Karachi. There the only FOURTEENTH Edition (pub. year 1996) of Garrig n Zimbardo was the available. I searched alot for the 17th LPE, Pearson Indian edition, but could not find it.

I am listing the chapter number n their title from 14th edition. Plz compare it vis-a-vis 17th edition. Plz inform me if there is any addition of imp chap in 17th edition.

1 Mystries of Mind n behaviour
2 Psy Research
3 Biological Bases of Behaviour
4 Mind, Consciusness
5 Cognitive life development
6 Social aspects of life development
7 Sensation
8 Perception
9 Learning
10 Memory
11 Cognition
12 Motivation
13 Emotion n stress
14 Personality
15 Individual differences
16 Social relationships
17 Psycho disorders
18 Therapies

U see that is the point regarding which i want ur views.(U have just reproduced my question in some better words i'd say)

As u elaborated that the ideas those 500 people might have conveyed before me or i ll are more or less of same quality n stuff. Here is my concern that if the answers are more or less same then the ones who get chance in early period have advantage as their ideas appear fresher nd new ones. But after hearing the same stuff for 100 times a person ll get bored(as per normal human psychie) nd those ideas ll not appear attractive to him anymore resulting in low grade assessment( for the same stuff which might have been produced by earlier people nd might have fetch them better grades).
How do panel members address this issue???
