Not in a mood to debate but thats just how I like it. I like tough papers which create competition and discourage cramming and encourage analytical and deep study. You may think otherwise and I respect your opinion but to each his own

I have observed that views of passed candidates change immensely after passing exams.Before the papers,one is praying for easy and simple papers.Once one has passed exams,he expects others to do well in even in very tough papers.

We must have feel for others in same manner as we feel and sympathise with ourselves.Seniors should encourage juniors instead of scare them away.One bad paper of Geography does not put a seal upon on the fact that Geo is no more a scoring subject.Both papers were unexpected in very soft terms but for next year,one should be determined to work hard and do well next year.

Dear Geography-takers,

let me ease your torment through a verse "perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not" _Surah Al Baqarah_216

please do NOT lose hope...(real or perceived) difficulty level of papers has NO bearing on the marks whatsoever....the Islamic history paper of 2010 was the EASIEST paper in the history ( ) yet majority of the candidates scored very low marks in it..most of us couldnt even exceed 100/200!! yours truly got 92/200, despite getting 17/20 objectives right in EACH paper ..journalism of 2010 was also an easy one (communication, mag journalism, PR etc) there i got 20/20 objectives correct, yet my score was 47/100 !!

on the other hand, business administration paper felt like a "difficult" one since there was no numerical (/scoring) question (yup, theoretical questions even in the financial portion!) and many weird objectives related to data storage/IT whatever....still, the scores were pretty good (i got 64)

so dont worry..stay focused! if anything, the difficulty level is directly proportional to marks (i.e the greater the diff level, the greater the marks obtained)

my personal experience with gegraphy is quite good

despite having a shaky paper 2 in my attempt and a so so paper 1

i stll got 148 / 200 paper 1 = 77 paper 2 = 71

i remember i cud attempt only 3 question in paper 1 and onky 2 in paper 2

but i try to be focussed and attempted all questions
u can use ur knowledge and try to answers by relevant topics if u dun know the exact answers
in the end . its the effort that matters ... and ALLAH knows best how to reward

sir u've elevated my hopes......thanks
i attempted 4 in paper 1 and in paper II 2 questions were excellent one based on my previous knowlegde of agriculture and last one was terrible...i was so confused that istead of whole asia i could focus only on south asia regarding population density...
but what keeps us driving is hope.....Allah khyr kray

I am still awaiting Geography-genious Syda Sabaht's comments on Geography paper 2012.

As far as mcqs of Paper I of were concerned mcqs were somewhat conventional and easier as compared to geo II.

Few of them that I can recall.

1-Poljes and dolines assossociated with which type of land forms. ---Karst region.
2-What is the science of studying land forms.-------morphology
3-Mediterraneans region falls in latitude----- 40-50 north and south.
4-lines on a map connecting points having same amount of rainfall---isohytes

Later on I shall try to post remaining ones

Dear Ranjha!

Medditeranian Claimatic Region falls between 40degN and 40degS lattitude. I wonder if this option was there in the options! Do you reckon?

Please post remaining MCQs of Paper 1 for the benefit of the CSS community here.
