Brother, this is an excellent outline on global politics, comprehensive and very well written. The only deficiency that I can point out is that international relations(economic relations, strategic relations, relations on humitarian affairs and environment etc between states, both developed and developing and how these relations are being affected by global politics) are missing from the ouline. You might have mentioned these aspects in essay but they are not apparent from outline. This is just my opinion. I believe your outline is really impressive, on the whole. Wishing you best of luck.

First thing first, I am a girl, not a guy Secondly, Thanks for your valuable input. The topic in its spirit was very broad, you could mention everything, from climate change to nuclear non-proliferation and from disarmament to oil politics. I kept myself limited to geopolitics and what's happening around in recent years regarding threat of a new cold war scenario. Let's see how examiners view my effort.

I have been following this thread for many days but had lost my password xD. Thankfully, i remembered it today so i can be a part of it.

My Experience of CE-2022:
I gave my first attempt in 2022 (Well i completed my graduation in August 2021 so obviously). Also, i gave the attempt while working (I am a Software Engineer working since April 2021 full time).
My examination went fine. Essay was decent. I attempted 'How is terrorism and its perception shaped by mass media'. I took a historical approach in my essay. I posted my outline here long ago when i gave the exam. Here is the outline

Was trying to paste the URL instead accidentally posted. Anyways,
This is my essay outline:

http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-dates...ass-media.html

Overall, I believe essay went fine. Precis went average (my worst exam). GSA, CA and PA went decent as well. Islamiat was good too.
My optionals also went well. They were Pol Sci, Criminology, Anthropology, Gender Studies and Business Administration.

Looking forward to any feedback from other members here.

Is this exactly what you wrote there? In my humbled opinion there's lack of clarity in your outline. Nevertheless, my best wishes for you.

I believe instead of just saying there is a lack of clarity, you should explain a little that what shortcomings you see in the outline.

This is not a carbon copy, i have written only the bullet points in the outline here while in the exam i wrote complete sentences in my outline so that the clear meaning is conveyed.
