1. It can only be attempted by highly educated or extra-ordinary candidates
(it is very untrue since many graduates with just 70% have cleared this exam)

2. It needs whole year to prep (another false perception since if you are sharp in your selection, 6 months are well enough for preparation)

3. Selection of Optional Subjects is crucial to some students ( one of the easiest but toughest task for majority of the people, with proper consultation, it can be solved but first they must discover their true interest)

4. Fear of attempting the 1st try out of 3 (Don’t know why people don’t give it a FIRST TRY to sit in CSS exams to really understand the pattern, methodology, environment and strategy)

5. No management in studies (majority of candidates do get fail because of the lack of studying methods they adopt, they prefer to skim relevant info which may not seem to be important to them)

6. Believing CSS as a nightmare! (one of major drawback behind the failure, it kills all your optimism and sparking power for this competition)

7. Irrelevant practices of Essay Writing (Writing an essay is not a big task but to organize it in effective way is the key requirement)

8. depending on past papers (one should cover and understand the whole subject than to be completely dependent on past papers)

9. Stammering difficult vocabulary ( there is no such requirement of CSS to present difficult words in your sentences, it may also be the cause of deduction of marks, perfect grammar usage with daily use vocab is far enough!)

10. Spelling and punctuation errs (due to the short SMS typing issue, many candidates are suffering from this myth, the best solution is to always spells English Words correctly on any medium)
