There is no negative marking in CSS examination. You should at least write something even if you do not know the answer. In Precis paper, I will advise you not to follow sequence of questions. You should solve the ones you know best first. After that, go with questions in which you have command to certain level but you are not best in them. At last, attempt those questions which are Greek to you. Do not leave any blank space even for one mark question. Make sentences of idioms or pair of words by guess work and just attempt it.
In Precis paper, no body fails you if you have less score in MCQ's because they are being checked by machine while subjective paper is checked by teachers manually. Same goes for all other papers.
However, if you actually fail to attempt Precis question excellently, chances of failure are great. If your score in objective is good say as 16 or more marks then you can at least have hope to pass the paper but performing badly in both questions is the recipe for disaster.
Let me share my experience. I have not shared it with anyone so far. As all know that last time I appeared without any preparation, so, I was not familiar with paper solution and technicalities. I just prepared pair of words and idioms of past papers and English vocabulary of around 350 words. I did solved the paper to my best knowledge and capacity. Only 8 of my MCQ's were correct. 3 idioms and 2 pair of words were correct. You know what happened I got 41 marks and I passed the paper. I did not left anything blank. I solved everything with guess work. It was my luck that translation, comprehension and translation were bit easy as compared to previous examinations. So, If I can pass the paper with no preparation anyone can. Just solve the paper smartly and hit psyche of examiner. Just create the illusion as best as you can even if you do not know the answers. I got 41 and many students who were preparing for years failed. I passed because I fought and gave my best. I did not panic or lose heart.
