Syllabus is there to guide people about the basics, other than that, the actual attempt only uses the theories as point of reference and requires diverse knowledge about the subject. At least 70%. Thats why options are there. And thats why you are supposed to have a problem solving approach for CSS.

And as far as i remember, there were like 12 books recommended for every subject in the FPSC guide. You sure that you read everyone of those? And that too were expressly written as guiding literature.

I never said my exam was extra ordinary, i missed a lot of things. But i know what it stands for, at least.
