Assalam Alaikum,

Well Ms. Hina, it seems to me that you are over working yourself on this subject. I think what you should do is re-consider your choice of forestry, if u have no prior background in it, since it sound like this includes a lot of technical knowledge to ace this subject, it makes it more difficult. Besides pick a subject that has more parallel to one of the other compulsory subjects or optional one, so u can simultaneously work on the prep on these subjects.

I hope my suggestion makes sense.

Thanks.

Yes, u may like to re-consider it

till two years back, this subject was regarded as a scoring one bcoz one could have easily prepared by reading volumes of Dr. Masood A. A. Qureshi (former Prof. of Uni of Agri, Faisalabad and currently doing job in Arid Agri University, Rwp and GIFT University, Gujranwala) however, in 2004 and 2005, the paper pattern has been changed manifold so better to check other optionals like Muslim Law, I.R. and so so

it remained my optional nd i m opposing it now, perhaps i do have exp. in the field nd u may get benefit from my experience
