[B]Introduce Atlantic ocean with its floor configuration as a unique phenomenon.[/B]
Can any one tell me de answer to this question please??? |
[QUOTE=Naveed_Bhuutto;409572][SIZE="4"][B][I]Introduce Atlantic ocean with its floor configuration as a unique phenomenon.[/I][/B][/SIZE]
Can any one tell me de answer to this question please???[/QUOTE] I didn't answer this but I think it had to do something with mid-Atlantic ridge, some famous deep trenches and the large continental shelf off east coast USA. It was the "unique" part that troubled me so I left this question. It was really sad that I spent so much time learning all the ocean currents :( |
I am really curious to know if someone attempted the Australia dairy and cattle farm question and why? My first thought: Who on earth would prepare for this?

If you look at the other papers especially the optionals, you will be able to chalk out the visible change in trend of exams. MCQs are not the usual 20 juicy questions which you can bag by cramming last 10 years' past papers. The subjective questions were as analytical as they could be made and we are calling them the shocker. Yes indeed these are shockers we have received in each exam but this might be the beginning of a new epoch in css where cramming won't serve anyone and the sound knowledge base will matter. We should be rejoicing if FPSC has decided to offer a level playing field to all candidates rather than calling these shockers.

have you seen the paper? or have you prepared for the paper and appeared in it? though this is not directed at me but i would like to clear one thing brother...analytical approach works in papers like sociology and journalism or say the compulsory papers. in a paper like geography there is no analytical reasoning involved. if you see the paper-II , you will know that some of the questions were out of the blue. no matter which exam in the world you sit there is always a pattern ...and all these guys are saying here is that this pattern is not according to the pattern and there is no rocket science if FPSC starts giving those questions that the students cannot solve ...let me be the maker and i too can set a paper that everyone will find hard to solve ...and then i can get all the applauds that i made a tough paper? |

Can any one tell me de answer to this question please???[/QUOTE] I think it was about the Continental Shelf and Slope being Passive unlike the Pacific one which is an Active Shelf. Secondly it is marked by Divergent Plate Boundary which makes it an expanding Ocean unlike the Pacific which is squeezing in. Ofcourse, the rest of the things were to be written too viz Shelf, Slope, Rise, Abyssal Plains, Abyssal Hills, Mid-Atlantic Ridge etc.. (this is what i wrote):cow |
Maya civilization in Andes
Indus valley civilization had trade ties with Mesopotamia Mongols were pastriolists And that city Ant..SOmething is the capital of Madagascar Please lets put up more mcqs.. what were the mcqs? P.s. I took it for the first time and its unfair that they gave such a tough exam because some people did well last time... are they intentionally set out to fail people? Its so stupid.. if they are changing the exam pattern they should work on changing their mind sets first |

None of the questions was out of the course. The Australian Dairy thing is included in Economic Geography's portion called [B]Economic Activities : primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary Activity: agricultural systems subsistence, intensive, extensive, mechanized and mixed farming[/B]. So there is no point complining that it was out of the pattern. The pattern you are talking about favours those who cram the 20 questions from the Dogar cram series or Jahangir Cram series or whatever that thing is called. And, I am not pointing at anyone here and please don't be so naive. We are all grown men here. I am just pointing out what I believe FPSC is doing. And you said if I prepared it or not, you should know that I have also born what occurred between 2 to 5 pm today. I believe you should consider yourself lucky that you have cleared 2011 (MashALLAH) when geography paper (let's not talk about others) was not so unexpected. So, all I mean to say here is that I believe FPSC is going to rout the cram series thing and as far as my opinion goes, I am in favour of it. I don't care if I fail or pass this year. Failing playing fair does not hurt as much as failing when playing at an unlevelled field does brother. |

FPSC is not discouraging cramming, the next year you will see again may be it will be the same kind of paper as it was in 2011. yes cramming of all sorts must be discouraged but if the paper is tough one should accept it :) and not be a hero that yes it was such an easy paper.. P.S . i hope you too get lucky this time |

P.S. Inferring from the discusion going on this thread, I guess getting lucky wouldn't be easy this time around[/QUOTE] yes and i fully support that deviations like the one in journalism or sociology. but the problem is that these deviations are not permanent either. like last time my british history paper was totally opinion based and this time it was more related to cramming. similarly even in Geo paper 2 , check the question of major crops in south asia and their major regions. now all these regions have to be crammed otherwise one cannot write the answer. anyways goodluck to you adios |
I like the current pattern of opinion based and non-conventional questions. This should be continued and enhanced for 2012. The aim should be to pass no more than 400 in written so that people do not go through torture of waiting as we are doing for 2011

that would make interview redundant:) and that they will not allow and even with easy papers they can fail as many as they want to :P |
i feel sorry for thsoe who opted this subject this time. Its totally unfair on the fpsc side to maek such an awkward paper. If u look at political science, it was straight forward so those candidates who opted Political sciene would have edge over geography students, this will surely hurt the final merit list as well and many will bite the dust in the end. sorry geography folks..
|
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 [URL="http://quran.com/2/216"][B]"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"[/B] _Surah Al Baqarah_216[/URL] please do NOT lose hope...(real or perceived) difficulty level of papers has NO bearing on the marks whatsoever....the [U]Islamic history paper[/U] of 2010 was the EASIEST paper in the history (:pp ) 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 :hurt ..[U]journalism [/U]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 !! :0 on the other hand, [U]business administration paper[/U] 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 :dd (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 |

the paper was from PMS course....if u see the topics given by PMS then u'll come to know....rest paper was unexpected...as it was from PMS course that includes few more topics than CSS course
|
Come On people.. It is CSS not metric exams... U people should make Ur mind for all such unexpected papers... They are there to judge u people by giving such Questions otherwise it will b really difficult for them to select people who really deserves to be a CSP officer...!!! May b both papers were unexpected but they were not difficult to solve...!!! My both papers were gud Alhamdulliah Although they were unexpected for me as well but i really felt that day, that i am giving exams of CSS :) Gudluck to everyone!!!:))

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 |
Medditeranian Climatic Region
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. |
geography paper discussion
Asslamo Alikum! Both papers of Geog 2012 were difficult. What was meant to the question that
" Introduce Atlantic Ocean with its flows configuration as a unique phenomena?" & "Evaluate physical weathering and its occurrences in different climate areas over the globe?" Plz seniors put some light to both of these questions. thanxxx |

One needed to discuss the floor configuration of the Atlantic Ocean i.e. its continental shelf, mid atlantic ridge etc as you travel from the east coast of USA to the West Coast of Europe. Its unique features could be highlighted while comparing with the pacific ocean. like the width of the contiental shelf, the dormancy of the continental slope! plus the pacific ocean is a contracting ocean while the atlantic ocean is an expanding ocean! that's all i could write there. perhaps there was more to add! in the second question about weathering i wrote what physical weathering was and what the types were (or the forces in other words) and then highlighted the climates where they occur...like high altitudes, places of extreme temperatures, deserts etc! once again perhaps there was more to add which i dont know about |

Obviously even the names of above headings suggest what could be the climates experiencing the above phenomena. |

and how about question no 3. glaciers wala? |
[QUOTE=Kamran;413532]and how about question no 3. glaciers wala?[/QUOTE]
the question was "Present glaciated morphology through various stages"... since morphology means "The Shape of the land" and the way i understood the word stages was "creation of the glacier, the flow of the glacier, and then the retreat or termination of the glacier" so what i wrote was the landforms of all the three stages: starting from corrie, and ended on terminal moraines and erratics etc...!! i may have missed stuff because they were too many... and yes, since we were asked to "Present" the information, therefore i drew them also! |

plz... help me in mcq: mayan civilization is in andes. is it right or wrong
I think that it is not in andes because andes is the region of south america. And mayan people never reached there. Plzzz.... students upload more mcq's of geography paper II |
salam to all.
geography guys i am not feeling bad at all. infact i am surprised that how FPSC managed to made such a tough paper of specially geography 1 specially, i was expecting the same for paper 2. friends don`t worry ap ye mat socho k paper kitna tough tha ap ye socho k apne kya sekha, ab to apko pattern pata chal gaya ho ga to work hard for the next time. disappoint bilkul nhi hona CSP intne kamzoor nhi hotay. mane kahen parha k koi keh raha tha k its a blunder to opt geography to ma ye btate chalon janab ho sakta ha k ap koi aur subject opt kerte to us ma bhi yehi hota to ap kya kehte. no doubt geography is a scoring subject and it will remain due to changing political scenarios the subject geography has gained more importance so that they made tough paper to see your grip on this subject. friends in the last i just remember these lines [B][SIZE="4"][COLOR="DarkRed"]Success will never lower its level to accomodate us.We have to raise our level to get it. Remember for every bird GOD provides food, but not in the nest.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] BEST OF LUCK to all. INSHALLAH jo ALLAH pak behtar samjhen ge wohi ho ga so just relax. regards sabahat |
