Originality is everything!
Cramming never helps. That is just a burden on your memory. Try to understand concepts and learn to see how they work in real life and how you can apply them in a given scenario.
I understand what my respected batchmate Daniyal Ahmed means when he says that he broadened his tastes and interests. This is expanding your horizons and it gives u a much better appreciation and understanding of the world we live in. This includes reading good, relevant books on your subjects too, but definitely not cramming the material in those books. Given the kind of papers that FPSC is now producing candidates need this ability of linking knowledge to life, to real problems and the ultimate ability to express themselves eloquently on paper and in person.
Of course when the knowledge in question is a theory, or a formula, or a concept or a definition, for that you need to reproduce almost the same thing for you are quoting the author/originator. But any explanation or critical analysis that would follow it must be conceived and produced by your own mind.
