How to Realize Maximum Marks in General Knowledge Papers?

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Hard time is over, first day of CSS exam is really a real test of your nerves and skills and first day almost 70% aspirants get knocked down and you don’t observe them on next papers. And take it for granted that if you have done exceptional on first day, next papers will not facade a serious threat to your triumph. So keep in brains that you have to come out of examination hall with lot of buoyancy on first day and this will be the foundation on which you are going to erect your next tactics. And if God prevent, if this is not the case, it will impinge on you badly in next papers. So Pray to Allah for your first two papers especially.
Here now comes the General knowledge papers, and we are now going to evaluate these papers one by one.

Paper I Everyday Science
Mostly mistreated part of CSS business. Yes it is true; aspirants generally overlook this paper and give very modest time to this paper. And in fact they are not absolutely wrong but little less smart. And it is very humanely that we ignore the weak and prepare for the tough rivalry. But this will not be the case in our Smart Working since we are now going for winning line of attack in the contest ahead. So our objective for this paper will be entirely different from rest of our papers.

Objective: To Obtain 90% Marks in Everyday Science Paper
Plan: To few it may be a very idealistic approach but it is possible …….Guaranteed
A close analysis reveals us that Everyday science papers consist of following pattern based 3 papers (2004, 05 and 06):

Question having Only 1 Marks = 60 questions (6 x questions with 10 parts)
Questions having only 2 Marks =17 Questions (3 questions with average of 5 parts)
Questions having 5 Marks = 5 Question (2 x questions with 2.5 average parts)
Questions having 10 Marks = 3 questions (You have to write a descriptive note on a single topic)


And there are following broad categories

1. Physics = 35 % contribution
2. Chemistry= 20% Contribution
3. Biosciences = 15%
4. Space = 9%
5. Computers = 11%
6. Misc = Rest

So our main area of deliberations should be the MCQs having only one mark and it is advised that attempt all 60 MCQs and since 1 wrong MCQ will only charge you a single mark. If there is tie between 2 question, for example There is a descriptive question about Pollution having total of 10 marks and an MCQ question in you which you only know 5 questions and rest you don’t know, please go for the sure 5 numbers weather you know every thing about Pollution. Rationale in the wake of this advice carries the weight of certitude of 5 numbers which you will definitely gain and in descriptive questions you can not get beyond 7 marks how exquisite you have written your answers, and still that is unsure. Then you must go for the questions having 2 marks and then 5 and in last resort for 10 mark question. Reason yourself in skeptical questions, think cool and for God’s sake never go for blind and wild guess, you are an erudite and smart person and must have an educated guess …….It works.

Now we have to prepare for the test, very simple. Go to library and get a hold of handbooks of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and a good detailed book on everyday science they have an Index ordered in alphabetically and try to memories and understand them daily every term since you never know which might be in paper.

You should be knowing:
All Scientific Abbreviations from A to Z
All Units from A to Z
All Human parts from A to Z
All big inventions from A to Z
And please never rely on your skills and background knowledge since this is the only paper in which you can make a lot of difference with others. And never plan half but always prepare full. And one thing you must be doing in next hour is the installation of Encarta Encyclopedia in your pc. Pick a subject and discover each and every facet of that topic. Pray to Allah for your success because with out his consent you can not be successful.
