Analytical mcqs

CRITICAL ANALYSIS .
Examiners identify the lack of analytical skills, critical approach, inability to comprehend issues, non-familiarity with subjects and poor presentation based on illogical arguments with wrong or irrelevant data as few reasons of failures.

Critical Thinking is not just about what you think, it's about what you think and argue. You're being critical in the sense of analysing ideas, observations, experience and reasons, exploring the evidence and carefully considering whether something makes sense and is accurate. Furthermore, includes excavating multiple sides of the same phenomenon.

Critical thinking leaves results/ conclusions on readers/ seers. Your job is just to give all aspects. REMEMBER, in every question, do critical analysis, give conclusion & opinions. Be problem solver not creator. Don't produce the crammed knowledge rather do analysis of topic from different perspectives. For example: if you're asked to write on 14 points of Quaid-e-Azam, don't just write 14 points rather give your opinions & conclusion. You must have your own legitimate views & opinions regarding each & every topic - specially for History, Pakistan Affairs, Islamic Studies, Essay, Philosophy etc.
