Tips and Strategy for Geography in CSS exams
Here are some tips and strategies to handle your Geography paper in the mains exams for CSS. First heres how you should write your answers. You should first understand the question and only then attempt to answer it. The question could be discussion-based or analytical or you need to elaborate or elucidate. As a result you are needed to answer according what the question wants. Whatever the query is, you are required to give an orderly and logical presentation of information.
There should not be any contradiction within or between the answers. What the examiner is looking for in your answers is concept and how organized your thinking is. * Thinking pattern is best reflected in the structure of an answer. * There should not be any extreme views when you are debating an issue. * There is no need to quote anyone. * Answers should be well balanced. Every component of the question should be given equal weightage. * The idea is that you might know about all topics but you should develop your own language to write them. Focus should be on memorizing facts and then back up with your language. Your expression does not require you to write difficult English words. It should be as simple as possible. Listed below are some of the main topics that should be covered. Since some sections come only on alternate years, please follow the trend and exclude a topic if it has been majorly covered in the previous year and choose another in the same category. * Geomorphology Plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanism are significant sections in Geomorphology. * Climatology In this section, you can expect significant number of questions from tropical cyclones and climatic changes. * Oceanography Marine resources, which include biotic, mineral and energy resources and ocean currents are few of the important areas in Oceanography. * Perspectives in Human Geography Environmentalism and possibilism * Economic Geography Energy crisis * Population and Settlement Geography Distribution of world population Causes and consequences of migration Functional classification of towns * Regional Planning Growth centers and growth poles * Models, Theories and Laws in Human Geography Systems analysis in Human Geography Central Places theories of Christaller and Losch Laws of international boundaries and frontiers * Physical setting Structure and relief Natural vegetation * Resources Energy crisis * Agriculture Agricultural intensity Agro and social forestry Livestock resources and white revolution * Industry Location factor of cottage industry * Transport, Communication and Trade Growing importance of ports on national and foreign trade, trade balance Developments in communication technology and its impact on economy and society * Settlements Morphology of Pakistani cities Conurbations and metropolitan regions Urban sprawl Slums and associated problems * Regional Development and Planning Decentralised planning Multi-level planning Geography and regional planning * Political Aspects Geographical basis of Pakistan and geopolitics of the Indian ocean * Contemporary Issues Environmental hazard like landslide Changes in pattern of land use Principles of environmental impact assessment and environmental management. |

Does anyone else think that the above listed topics are actually okay/good for covering of Geography (200 marks)? By pattern, it kinda looks easy. And as I've done bachelors in Software Engineering and I don't have any knowledge on Geography, can you guys please tell me if I should opt for this subject?

Every answer should be supported with a relevant diagram. Even in human geography paper diagrams seem to put a positive impact. Definitions should also be given where ever possible.

And don't worry about your weak drawing. The examiner must be assured of our understanding of the topic, which can be done by diagrams. I suffered in geography because of less emphasis on diagrams. You should not do that.
