Dear GK paper was easier one, every thing came nearly same what we had predicted and prepared. Even, the questions like Capitals, new name of places, heads, essay and short questions were easy and doable. But this kind of paper can be a Big challenge for those who have not been in touch with CA and Concrete GK. Mine all capitals are correct, nine places are correct. Short notes are also correct and I prepared Org same came and I did them. Besides, after Peshawar massacre we have been reading NAP 2015 in news papers, I think every one would have done it well, it was the most prominent and hot topics in these days. Question number two was also easy and general. So thumbs up!! I am expecting minimum minimum 110+ :) Insh'allah.

You are right dear, it was not much difficult. In fact, we were not well prepared, therefore found it difficult one.
