Now there is not much time left for CSS exams and period of panic has dawned. But, there is nothing to panic about as CSS exams require hard work as well as smart work. Being strategic in your preparation would enable you to pass the exams.
The first thing to do in this regard is to remind yourself that you can do it. Have confidence in your own self.
Regarding preparation for compulsory subjects, here is the go-no-go list.
English Essay
The most vital part here is Outline preparation. Once you have developed a strong outline, about 20 points shouldn’t be hard for you to write 3,000 words on it. Write and develop a few outlines on hot topics (Pakistan’s economic issues, women, Islam as a religion, global warming, and politics/democracy) and ensure you prepare only a maximum of 5 outlines.
