the more u read better it is
anyways if u have got less time then u can rely on skimming and scanning the newspaper and in this way reading at least those clippings which are important from examination point of view

hi,

1. It is a better idea to study as varying material as you can. Geo is good but not sufficient. Watch DawnNews, CNN, BBC, and read as many newspapers as you can.

2. Making notes is your choice. But I have always found it a good thing to do coz in the last few days they will help u cover ur syllabus in a jiffy.

3. Yes, u can go against the Govt outright. but, u must have very persuasive, valid and good alternative to the stand of the Govt. But u can always temper ur tone while talking or writing against the Govt.

4. Try reading relevant sections of this forum. Go visit some important websites like nytimes, bbc, RAND corporation, zmagazine, slatest, etc. Read some magazines, journals, newspapers. Discuss with ur friends.

@Shaho,

Compile clippings from newspapers on different issues which make the top stories e.g. US-Pak and Afghanistan Issue; role of both the countries, policies and performance etc. You have to deeply study that topic and look into the minute details because many other issues are linked to it, like, dialogue with Taliban, terrorism in Pakistan, its impact on our country, NATO route via Pakistan, Indian consulates in Afghanistan and their alleged involvement in Balochistan, then it comes Balochistan issue and son. You should prepare notes in bullet form on each issue and topic. Because it will be easy to revise at the eleventh hour.

well said dear. DAWN's Editorial page is of utmost importance to prepare current affiars but however we can't ignore the front page & International Page. Watching a TV Channel is good but once you go through the details of important events, you can have a better grip on that subject.

Regards.
