First let me introduce to the members myself.I am Mansoor,An Engineer by profession and currently working as Assistant Manager in Nuclear Organization.
Since my brother and Cousin are CSP`s so they also dragged me into this business.
To be very frank i have prepared myself only in 3 months and with four hours daily.Since i had to join office from 08am-04pm. so it was really hard for me 2 give more time to my study. My combination was Indo-pak,Geograpohy,Journalism and Pushto.
I appeared in Exam with half preparation but with full confidence. First paper was essay.Since i haven`t prepared it so i choose a topic(Disaster Management) and started brainstorming. I saw many people started writting abruptly.The first sign of panic and inexperience.I given it a drmatic start and i am sure that Inshahallah it will be passed with good grades.Similarly composition also went well.
For Indo-Pak,i have prepared my own notes as i am fond of making my own notes.And with grace of Allah it went superb.
For CA and EDS,i studied Jehangir times series and it proved helpful.
Geography as a favourite and scoring also went very well. Hoping for good grades in it.
Journalism is also nice and went upto my expectations.
Tips: Just relax and be systematic in preperation.
CSS is a game of nerves.
And also 2 papers a day can`t disturb u if ur sugar level is ok, so take choclates and Tea during 2 hours break.
And last but not the least My exam was finished in a week with no gaps between papers.But i did it well.
Inshahallah i am hopeful for a positive result.
FOr new aspirants: If some one need any sort of help,I will be always availabale for them
