Tips for those who are starting preparation for css 2010:

1. Don't waste any further time, start making notes from day one. Self prepared notes help a lot. Daily writing practice is necessary. Notes should be concise, comprehensive and to the point. Its important to consult 2,3 books while making notes. You must underline important things in the book while reading.

2. Read only editorials and important articles from the newspaper. Don't waste your precious time by reading useless items in the newspapers. Newspaper reading is must, it helps to develop reading speed.

3. Give equal time to all subjects, don't think that English is the most difficult subject, even Islamiat can do the trick. Be prepared for each subject. MCQs are very important, they can boost your score a lot.

4. During the papers feel relaxed. If one paper does not go according to your expectations don't lose heart, concentrate on the next paper. Next paper might boost your score.

5. Try to give equal time to each question in the paper. 7,8 pages per question is good enough. Writing practice is must, on plain sheets, try to finish question in 35-40 minutes.

I second shallowwater.Some more tips....
1.take your test yourself once in a weak.Prepare your paper yourself ,and mark yourself strictly and sincerely.
2. choose some topics for essay and add notes and points on those topics regularly.
3.remove your gramatical mistakes and improve handwriting and writing speed.do more practice on essays.
4.jot down key points for each question at the end , while you prepare your notes.
5.divide equal time for each subject.
6.do revision , thats the key to success.
