walikum salam,

first of all welcome on CSS forum Paksitan.Good to know about ur enthusiasim for CSS at this stage.

ur bro.advice is right but first u should give attention to ur present studies and in meanwhile u can take a good start by reading newspapers.
DAWN is reccomended.

first one must improve his/her english writting skills and try to increase ur vocabulary.

get some grammar books and starts practice

a practical english grammar by A.J Thomson and chambers idioms book is helpful.
Exploring world of english is also good.



for selecting optionals u should go through the syllabus and past papers.
it gives u insight and nature of subject which become helpful for u in choosing subjects.

select subjects of ur interest........and should consider ur background study.
it would be easier for u to prepare.
first tell us something about ur interest then we will able to guide u in proper way.

check out these for guidance
