SIR plz try to reply me soon.as i have to start preparation for optional.

AOA Sir, I am going to appear in css 2013 exam and having optional as Business adminsitration
Pushto
sociology (no background)
journalism (no background)
Psychology (no background) or Physics (B.Sc Physics and double maths)
so my first question is about my optionals that are these right or not ??? and the second one is that should i join the academy or not ?????

waiting for ur reply.

@saba
Horton and Hunt is by no means trash.It is a very good book for building the concept of Sociology.I also found it trash when I first start reading it.But as you would read it more and more,your ideas would start getting clearer.It is a beautiful piece of writing.Just try to relate its concepts with examples in Pakistani Society.For Pakistani perspective,Tagga's book is the best.Read both

@seher

Keep on gathering more material,more information.See the past papers for general trend of topics.Then,make a list of 7,8 topics that you think are most likely to appear in the examination paper.Start jotting down the information and data you have gathered under those heads respectively.It would also be useful if you make a general outline of every essay.That would help you in arranging the material.

@pearl,
US history,
Punjabi
Psychology/Persian
Journalism
Business Add

@Aamir
Its good,the subject selection..Go for Physics if you are confident about it..alternately,you can go for Pure or Applied Mathematics.I do not know much about the academies in Islamabad,so I will be at a loss to suggest any.

aoa. hamza bhai i qualified css-2011, merit no is 705th. i did 4 months prep after getting my B.A(private) degree n scored 613 in written n viva 132 . i think to get good marks i would have to add more spices to paper. Please suggest me how should i go on as i am preparing for 2013. i didnt attempted 2012 as interview was going on those days. my optionls r Geography, British History, Sociology n Journalism

For Islamiat preparation, I read "Islami Nazriya Hayat" by Prof. Khursheed. He has quoted lots of scholars in his book. Also Zakir Naik backs his arguments quoting scholars specially in topics like comparison of religions and Concept of Tauheed.

Just wanted to ask do we have to use these quotes in our answers or our own arguments/analysis is enough?

@Traveller

Go for Physics and U.S History

@Pearl

I am afraid there is no good CSS English teacher in Multan.Get your work checked by a CSS qualifier.Its the best option available to you.

@saadi

don't go for literature and IPH.Rest are fine.Try U.S History/European History/Punjabi
