But where is the sociology paper msq's 2014?

although I failed in CSS 2014 by 9 marks in Compoosition, I got 58, 55 and 46 marks in Islamiat, Sociology and Essa respectively . One thing crucial for Aspirants I want say, the general studies helped me a lot while attempting all papers. I studied always out of course to satisfy my curiousity of knowledge. Ghamidi sahib's lecture on You tube and some philosophical books helped me to understand the demand of examiner in questions. Leave now please the traditional way of studying and try something different.... I have no regrets, I could nt qualify css, but result proved my competency. Thanks to Lord, I gt gud numbers in all subjects in one of the most difficult attempt of css.
