Really sorry to hear this. You deserved to pass it.
Can you kindly share your strategy for Political Science?

[QUOTE=salmanmufc;1124392]Was my 2nd attempt. Lots of hard work went into this attempt and to miss out so close, just extremely disappointed . I don't think I'll muster up the courage to take the exam again. Probably the end of the road for me. Wish everyone the very best of luck.

Dear, please don't lose hope. I had almost similar scores and failed in US History by 6 marks. US History was targeted that year. You are an aspiring candidate, and we expect wonders from you in the next attempt. If you are feeling burnt out, I would suggest that you take a break from giving the papers next year. That, however, doesn't mean that you take a break from studies altogether. Study at a good enough pace, and then go full throttle when the papers near.

[QUOTE=Saraq;1124455]Please share your source for IL[/QUOTE]

Saraq, I had studied International law as a course in my graduation. Besides that, I used international law by Tandon. Rest of the new topics were covered by making notes from the internet. So, not a single source.
P. S one good tip try including case study in each of your answer if you've prepared it. It's a plus point.

[QUOTE=sib mah;1124458]I used one book for paper 1 concepts. Mazhar ul haq book. Thn i made my own notes with youtube help as well. Nd befr exams i studied my own notes only.

For paper 2 i made my own notes of constitutions frm youtube nd online sources from nearpeer pol sci lectures[/QUOTE]

Please go through your email. I sent you one for little help. Thanks

I have replied.

I'm guessing the decision to target Islamiat came pretty late when fpsc noticed many students passed essay and precis. They couldn't bother interviewing so many candidates so decided to butcher another subject.

Same thing happened with us history in 2018.

when sorted my marks, it resulted in this structure.

the blue histogram is the extra effort needed.
