confusion regarding geography
 

Aoa all,

seniors pls guide me
is it necessary to have studied this course before opting this as an optional?
means can we grasp this course if we study this first time? no geography background,,

pls acknowledge

geography is very interesting subject to be studied...
i didnt have geography background but i had taken it as my optional and i scored 134. its a bit technical but interesting subject and if u understand the concept once, good marks can be ur destination...:)

hmmm good combination, journalism has not been scoring last year, so if u are pretty easy with it then its OK and if not then change it. what if u study a regional language instead of journalism?

when u say INSHALLAH then there should be no fear or uncertainty:)
for paper 2 no single book covers whole syllabus. but HUMAN GEOGRAPHY by DE BLIJ is recommended.

Opt U.S history in place of Journalism. Rest of the combination is very good.

Best of Luck.

@ junaidayaz
 

then go for FAZAL KAREEM KHAN's books and i have heard that SANPAL's human geography is also good.

for my preparation i consulted only one book for physical geography paper and that was by Sarfraz Bajwa..
for 2nd paper, i had "Fundamentals of Human Geography" by Muhammad Anwar and for Pakistan geography, a book by Fazle Karim. apart from that, one should be having a good contact with newspapers as well to score good in Human Geography.
