no correction was announced in the center of Bahawalpur. i have sent an application to ppsc in this regard.i called them they instructed me to do so.

I am at a loss to understand what all this fuss is about.

Violence is the large/last refuge of the incompetent.

both are similar.. the same meaning is there... essay was about the incompetent resorting to violence. Now he resorts to violence by large or at last this is trivial.

I wrote the same topic. I had developed the outline (rough), had written the introduction and was writing the first argument by the time revision was announced. (about 40 mints after the start of paper)

My first argument was on TTP's incompetent leadership, their narrow minded version of Shariah and their use of militancy and terrorism against citizens of an Islamic state in the name of Islam. I was writing about Fazlullah - who left school before 8th grade and madrasah course before half of the duration yet he claims to be in a position to tell the state how to derive laws. So TTP is intellectually and ideologically incompetent that is why they are taking refuge in violence. What difference does the 'large or last' make here?


After announcement I reviewed my rough outline and all the arguments previously developed were still very relevant.

Now those who think they suffered because of the revision, can you tell me what were the arguments you specified for the first one that were rendered irrelevant after the revision.

About the intro too, in thesis statement you do not copy the topic but restate it. So I don't expect this one word debate to be relevant there as well.

It might have created a problem for those candidates who instead of writing on the topic as a whole, try to write a 'whole thesis' on each and every word of the topic.

Many students wish to retake exam once they are done with it. Get over it! This reason alone does not call for re-exam.

They know the whole situation. Do not expect grace marks or any other favor just because you wrote on a particular topic. However, if they fail you they would have some other good reason for it. No one will fail owing to a small technicality. Whether you wrote as last or large in your mind (and on paper), if you were reasonable in your stance you will get the credit.

Hopefully you are right. The only thing I reasonably expect from the FPSC is to at least assure the candidates of it, or anything else that they decide by issuing a notification.

i have also attempted the same topic and i have given the example of TTP's resort to violence. alongwith that i have given an example of those teachers who become violent in their teaching method. such teachers are also incompetent and they use violence. however i have sent a letter to fpsc to notify them that no topic-change announcement was made at my center. some of my friends have also sent a letter to fpsc to notify them about the announcement.

I think violence is the last refuge of the competent. A competent person will always start with diplomatic means to solve problems and may/maynot turn to violence at last.
However Violence is the FIRST refuge of the incompetent. blink

Am I right or wrong??

I totally agree with the person who has pointed towards the delayed correction in RWP centre. Actually this scene has happened 3,4 times during the whole exams. Botany paper 2, MCQs section, one correction was told in last 10 minutes when 90 percent students had marked their answer. Same happened in other papers too.

i attempted the same essay. It was with in last 30 mins that they made the correction. I'm very nervous as to what will happen.
