Whenever one talks and asks about one’s exam performance then everyone shows confidence that exams are just a piece of a cake, and they’ll get maximum scores. Everything is fine and fit before the results of CSS-2004. The period, which is passing away, is the most delightful one as everyone is confident that they’ll get a sure seat in one of the Ministry of Pakistan.

Well, all the best wishes are with those who’re confident, but whenever one asks about the performance of second paper based on Précis and composition then everyone feels quite disturbance about the future of this subject. Whenever one asks about one’s performance on this subject then one only reply that this paper is quite different from the pattern of previous papers. Many people were confused about the famous ten marks, which were based on difficult words. When we look at the pervious papers of CSS exams then you will not find such pattern having difficult word meanings. We can say that CSS exam is a full of surprises, where anything can happen. This is a key tip for the aspirants of the next year exam that they shouldn’t consider the pattern of previous papers, otherwise there future will be as pessimistic as the future of this year’s students.

When you find many people learning objective paper of Pakistan Affairs then that will be a land of wonders. Many people were quite sure that this year examiner was just going to put objective portion in this paper, but their confusion went off when they found five full fledge subjective question with no objective portion. That was nothing more than a surprise for the students who were very good at objective portions. On the other hand, they were much delighted to find four questions based on Current Affairs. This is another tip for the aspirants of next year’s exam that one should consider the subject of Current Affairs as the mother of other subjects. This is a worthy question to be answered that how to prepare this subject? If we talk about from one’s experience then it is much good technique that one should have the capability to write more than five pages in ten minutes with accurate grammar and according to the point, if one really wants to handle this subject with passing grads.


That is another great experience when one finds many people learning the physiology portions of Science subject. It is true that everyone should learn this portion with great deal. But as we all know that CSS-exam is a full of surprises as we have experienced the same surprise in Science subject. There was not even a single question on physiology portion. Wasn’t it a surprise? Yes, It was for the people who were very good at this portion. There was a friend of mine who was very good at this portion and he was as good in physiology as it was on his fingertips or it was his instinct quality. The mineral portion was disturbing for him because he was not good at this portion. Therefore, he was considering on physiology for having good marks in this subject. So, another tip for the aspirants of the next year exam is that it is a great mistake to leave any portion of Science subject. There were other students who could not manage to write all the ten questions of this subject. The reason was that they thought that they had completed their all questions because they did not count their questions in their script. The second tip from Science subject is that one should keep one’s eye at counting their number of question in their script.


Islamiate was quite disturbing for those students who opted to write this subject with Urdu language. Opting to write this subject in Urdu is a mistake for those students who’re very good in English. One may think that they are very good in Urdu then why they should not go with Urdu in this subject. The reason is that when we start taking the exam in English from the beginning of essay writing then English takes our rhythm, and it manages our speed. When we switch on to Urdu from English then it disturbs the rhythm and the speed of writing. In CSS our main concentration is the English language and for this purpose we make extra effort to boost our speed in English writing. When we change our style of writing with Urdu writing it definitely effects on our speed of writing. The other reason is that we have not touched Urdu since Metric. Therefore, the aspirants of next year exams are advised to choose English for this subject.

Another thing which is the most important that we should write our roll number with a great care on its designated place. It is a great mistake to write the roll number on any page inside the script or to cut off our roll number or to use ink remover. It is clearly written on the script with red marker that if anyone do all these things then he/she will be awarded ZERO marks in the exam. Therefore, when a script is delivered to you then open your eyes and write your roll number clearly with great care. Many people write their wrong roll number because of exam’s confusion or haphazardly. Therefore, aspirants of next year exam should be very careful in this regard.

Well, friends and colleagues this is all my experience of CE-2004. I hope that everyone will be benefited from the above tips. These tips are general in sense and are only restricted to the compulsory subjects. I think we are all gathered here for a good cause and purpose. I wish that everyone should get good future through our endeavours of passing out the CSS exam. (AMINE)
