Ok Sherazi here are some of the points you may consider before analyzing issues.

1) Firstly try to understand the issue completely.
2) Its effects on different organization/Individuals.
3) Try to find out root causes of the issue/problem.
4) Try to find out its External causes.
5) Which organization/Individuals are involved.
6) What possible steps have been taken to eradicate the problem.
7) What do you think how to resolve the problem.

NOTE: You can never understand or analyze the problem until you will read the problem/issue in deep detail.

Ok lets practice it. "TERRORISM" in the light of above points evaluate this. I will comment later but i want to hear from you first.

Welcome 050006 I am unaware of lingual subjects so i cant comment, Before opt in journalism and psychology go through its syllabus if you feel you can do it then opt in.

Anoush You are right Sociology also puts me on back foot.
Nusrat Welcome Your English should be outclass for CSS but dont worry one can grasp over English by reading newspapers and by increasing its vocabulary within 6 months. I will update about pattern of reading newspaper later today so stay tuned to the thread.

Eama Welcome Arabic is considered as most scoring subject so best of luck.

Zain Welcome One cannot say anything about your combination. I suggest you to go through syllabus of each subject if you think you can do it then its well and good.

Hello Noora Welcome to the forum i suggest you to go through each category of the forum because its Full of knowledge. I have answered your question about analyzing Issues and Problems please check and try to be result oriented. For book you can visit your subject category in this forum you will find sticky posts about books.

If anybody have any question feel free to ask.

I will update later about how to tackle with Essay,Current Affairs and improving you English Skills so stay tunned.

Thanks Regards

also talk about screening test and core books for EDS,CA,PA and islamiat

Zara Summary of screening test have been signed by PM, i heard this news in Nov or Dec last year.
I think that screening test needs no special preparation because till the of June and july according to the schedule we will be covering all our Compulsory subjects and screening test will be from these subjects.

Try to remember Dates, Places, and personalities while reading any subject you will get prepared automatically. This is for the first time so we cant say which book should be referred for Screening test.
I suggest you to buy jahangir series for mcqs of all subjects.

Who is Who and Dogar GK books can be fruitful for screening test.

Hi, everyone. I've done my masters in mass communication with sociology & IR as my subsidiaries, yet, I fear going for them because everyother person has opted for these 2 subjects. 2015 is my first & last chance, need your suggestions in this regard. Thanks!

Hello FrostFlame I will update about Essay,Precis, Current Affair and vocabulary increasing after this post so wait till then.

Hello Usman Being an Engineer i think you dont have any option from your previous studies. You should go through syllabus of each subject before choosing any subject also keep you interests in mind.
Please don't mind, correct your spellings short spellings are against forum rules.

Sarah Welcome Sociology,IR and Journalism will be perfect for your opt in, Everyone has to go in its own grave so don't think that everyone is opting these 2 subjects make your full effort.
