Suggested Readings by FPSC

basitpasha · #1 Saturday, September 17, 2011

Fpsc always provide suggestion readings ( book names ) for css syllabus. How far is it benefitable reading these books?

These readings no doubt are really really good, though the issue is that (1) significant amount of time is required for such readings. These readings are meant for a wider exposure and preparation of examination in a longer period of time, not for a 3 month stint, and (ii) they are not conveniently available nowadays, at least in Pakistan. I happened to read a few of the suggested readings for two of the optionals while I was in UK, and I thought FPSC suggested some really nice material.
So in order to overcome these two issues, people tend to go out for ready made guide books by Bhattis and Dogars, which in fact at the first place are also mostly copied from the very same sources FPSC mentioned.

The level of grammar as expected from a student of FA/FSc. The main things you should be preparing are:
Active Passive
Direct Indirect
and Sentence correction (which are the basics of noun, adverb, preposition etc)

For this you can get hold of any FA/FSc level Grammar book or 'Oxford Grammar book. Other good sources are (i) Direct Indirect Made Easy and (ii) Active Passive Made Easy (small thin books written in urdu/english)

Mr. maliasghar , do you have any personal email or contact email? i have bought an online Grammar course with video and pdf files. i want you to have a look at this and tell me if that grammar is enough for CSS preparation.

thank you so much.

To tell you honestly I did not prepare even a thing about the Precis/Grammar paper. I only relied on my sense of English usage and some past knowledge about tenses etc apart from giving a brief look at these books I mentioned above. Nor was I ever good at grammatical rules perhaps because I am from the O' Levels stream where English writing is more stressed upon than English grammar. So, I would not be honest in commenting upon the appropriateness of the resource.

Better ask someone good at grammar. I guess Hamza Salick might advice you on it.

basitpasha · #8 Sunday, September 18, 2011

okay thank you maliasghar. Hope hamza salick will reply if he is watching this post.

my question is that what grammar level should we learn for the preparation of css exam . F.A level ? B.A level ? or higher?
