Brother, there are some typo errors in the notes, but it doesn't mean these are not authentic. The notes have been prepared by taking help from different sources and the information contained in the notes is most of the times authentic. If these had been unauthentic, there would have not been high scores in Arabic as you know almost all aspirants prepare arabic from these notes.
yes, I agree with you that these notes are not sufficient. The candidates relying on the notes may score high if paper is of traditional nature. But if paper comes out of pattern, they may suffer as I suffered in CSS 2008 scoring only 115. CSS 2008 was one of the toughest years for arabic and the highest score I found was 126. I changed my strategy for CSS 2010 and didn't rely on notes only but also complemented these notes with their urdu counterparts, the book by Ahmad Hassan Ziat and Internet. e.g. I used Internet for information about modern arabic critics/writers like Taufiqul Hakim, Taha Hussain etc. I scored 153 in CSS 2010 by using these resources.
For short questions, one needs to know a bit arabic grammar so that he/she may understand the question asked in arabic and solve the essay question which is also required to be attempted in arabic.
If one has studied Ahmad Hassan Ziat's book, he/she will face no difficulty in solving the out of trend paper. CSS 2011 paper subjective section may be solved easily if one has gone through this book. Also the book helps in objective portion as well.
For objective, one can never be sure what they are gonna ask. However, most of the times mcqs repeat from previous years paper for which solution has been provided by Hafiz Arshad sb. I have observed that every year 25+ objectives are from past arabic papers barring the year 2008.
The bottomline is that the notes may be trusted but should be accompanied by other resources (book, internet etc) for good score. Portion to be attempted in Arabic needs a bit knowldge of arabic grammar.
