English Essay:

There is little difference amongst CSS and PMS essay paper. Both papers require same set of skills that include , reasonable knowledge of the topic being attempted, command over usage of language(Good Vocabulary) , Coherence and minimum grammatical/spell mistakes. If your essay stands the test of these parameters then you can be sure about your success.

The difference of allocated time(2 hours for pms and 3 hours for css) makes no difference provided that you make a practice of completing your essay with in two hours.The more you will practice, the more you will learn from your own efforts.

UrduUrdu General including Essay)
Paper is divided in to 5 questions:
1-Essay :25 marks
2-Explanation of poetic verse: 20 marks
3-Precise: 20 marks
4-usage of proverbs in sentences: 15marks
5-Translation of an English paragraph: 20

This paper judges one’s overall Urdu Language skills. This has remained a low scoring subject because candidates take it for granted by not preparing it to the required level. In fact we don’t study urdu as language at graduation or post graduation level so our writing skills in urdu deteriorates over the time.So I ‘ll advise the aspirants to take paper of urdu general general very serious because good scores in this paper can make much difference.

Mass Communication:
Last time it remained most opted optional paper and its average score remained around 110 to 130 though a few candidates scored more than 140 marks but such candidates were not more than 5 . The examiners normally ask general type of questions mostly related to current issues. Last time questions about the role of ISPR , Pakistani Media , CNN etc were asked. I think any one book one available in the market will suffice to prepare this paper.
