However, I suggest that you should solve the past papers of atleast 15 years (the obj part+precis and composition) and get them checked by a good teacher.
Reading daily Dawn, especially its editorials will also help a lot.
You may practice precis writing by making a precis of one editorial on daily basis and get it checked by a good teacher so that you may come to know your shortcomings.
