Well, I am used to studying under immense stress. So I took a leave without pay from my job, and on 1st dec, 2013 I just hit the books!
Used to start from 10 am taking it all the way to 1 am or so.. With short breaks in between n an hour afternoon nap.
Divided all prep days by 12 (for number of papers) and tried to finish each subject within the allotted time. Of course it never went as planned. Studied two to three subjects in a day to avoid time wastage due to boredom. Made my own notes / keys while studying. Totally exiled myself from the world.
Needless to say it was a very bad and unhealthy study approach as I got sick a couple of times too in preps...but thank God it paid off. I wouldn't advise anyone to do what I did. It is a huge risk. For me unfortunately studying earlier was not possible cuz my job took a lot of my time
I hope I have answered your question.

Nazish,
The question is not directed to me but I will take the liberty if answering it nevertheless, having walked this path myself.
Academy can help you in making an informed subject choice and in selection of good books for your subjects chosen. This is the initial direction you definitely need. Your teachers can help you regarding how to answer what sort of questions etc. that may come up in the exam. And that is it.
The rest you have to do yourself. You must study at least one book that has been suggested by FPSC in its syllabus. You must make your own notes. You must never depend upon the notes of the academy (though you can seek guidance from them, but they are not conclusive or absolute)
Academy's effort, in spite of being great and commendable is only just the tip of the ice berg. You have to deal with the rest of it yourself.
