Sorry Haleema for being a bit late.
I would advise you to buy NKM guide books.They are relevant and to the point.Go through the questions at the end of the book.Mostly these questions come in the paper but you know what it does not means necessary that the form of the question will be same they can twist the question.Do buy the past papers.One of my class fellow has bought EXAM CRAM JAHANGIR PUBLISHERS.They have virtually all the questions covering MA 1 and cheer up they have answers as well.Dont lose spirits and dont pay heed to what everybody else says about MA being tough and that and that.If you want to do it you can do it.My prayers with you.

You can get my email and we might discuss things together.But i dont know how to add u as friend bcoz im relatively new to this forum and all this internet stuff is a test to my wits.U can add me if u like and we can talk in seclusion

You cant say that the subject is worthless just because you dont like it..So many people are doing it after all they are up to something oterwise why would they waste energies and time.So better to help someone by encouraging even if you dont like it.

i'm also doing M.A english .....its easy if v do little struggle

famous books are gud and u must buy current books of each subject that must be helpfull 4 u.....1 book of each subject.

@ Misbah Khan,Thanks, you helped me alot, you wrote the detailed syllabus... thank you so much... Yea you are right.... if we struggle then can do it easily... ya it'll b great to talk to you... ok i m going to see how i can add you....
Take cAre
@ Rana Raheel.. Thx... i'll do..!!!

Be careful in buying NKM books. Most of the paper checkers dislike NKM. I know couple of them who openly assert, if there is any paragraph same as in NKM we cross it, giving no marks.


Be original, make your own points.
It is not difficult because there are only 5-6 questions of every writer

hello everybody
Thanks for giving some sound advice.What I meant to say was consulting the books and not just cramming it.Well teachers in our college did recommend these books and in 2005 one of our seniors topped in punjab university.You are right as well to some extent bcoz when the checkers see the same material they just cross that.But dont you think that the same thing happens for acdemy students too.What would you people recommend? I have also conulted books of indian writers like S Sen Tilak etc..Can you just share some more tips.Esp Last island
Thanks eveybody

My way of making notes.

Ingredients:

1. Lecture: Used to jot down as much as I could.
2. Separate guide for every book: Not for cramming of course
3. Online sources: Used to google a lot and copy pasted every important material on word doc.
3. Personal perception

Procedure:

1. Assemble
2. Compose
3. Edit
4. Format
5. Quotations (most important spice)
6. Sound Conclusion

She is right.Most of the colleges recommend NKM books and people easily get pass the exam after cramming these books.

Your study method was certainly fine in the given conditions.I hadn't access to the internet while doing masters but now I feel that things could have been better if I had.

May I know that when did you do your masters and where from?
