A General Observation:

It is claimed on the basis of experience that the next year that is in 2006, a similar type of question paper will be placed. There will be no long question on Great Depression.

There will definitely be a question of on World War even if it is made part of topics in which some other questions can be asked.

The question papers which appeared from 1994 to 1999 had the similar set of questions.

It is a guess work for 2006:

Collect the question papers of 1994 to 1999. You will get a bank of question papers which will be repeated.

Such a bank will soon appear on this blog and on a related blog which will be created at the beginning of the next seesion that is July 2005.



So Watch out for that blog
