Study Plan of Pakistan Affairs

[redmax]

Hello aspirants,

This has been my strategy to prepare a study plan before studying any subject. I shall upload each study plan of my optional subjects and one or two compulsory in their relevant threads. Let me elaborate a little what this plan contains and what is its basis.

Study Plan is actually an in-depth analysis of Past papers of the subject. Based on these, the subject has been divided into areas which are recurring and most important from the examination point of view. Thus, if you keep this Study Plan before you, it may obviate the need for referring to subjective part of the past papers as it contains all questions from 2000 onwards.

I want reiterate that its my own analysis and it has so far proved very helpful in my preparation. Hence, the only purpose behind sharing them is helping other aspirants.

I also anticipate mods to evaluate this effort and make this thread sticky for all aspirants to benefit from it.

My dear,

I have made study plans for Pakistan Affairs and Islamiyat only. Pak. Affairs is already uploaded and Islamiyat I will upload soon inshaAllah. In my opinion Essay and Precis papers do not require a study plan as they are technically different from other compulsory subjects. Nevertheless, you must consult past papers of Essay and Precis & Composition for better understanding as well as practice purposes.

1. Pakistan Affairs by Ikram Rabbani (Easy and brief)
2. Struggle for Pakistan by I.H. Qureshi (Detailed & elevated style)


There are other books too which I would have recommended if there was much time left in exam. If you are planning to appear in 2011 then it is preferable to lay your hands on already prepared notes since reading a book and then making your own notes would be time-taking.

Thanks a million bro. I started my prep with the notes of Prof Hassan Askari Rizvi on VU Library/CSS Forums. Whats your opinion about the said notes.

I have reviewed those notes and still have a copy in my laptop. What I believe is that he has covered most of the events and touched some issues as well. However, regarding the information and statistics in the pages related to Energy crisis, Water resources, Mineral resources etc you will have to update them from newspaper or any other source online as there have been some recent discoveries and developments in these fields. Apart from that constitution of Pakistan has also changed (18th Amendment) which makes an essential part of the syllabus. I hope you understand.
