That's a nice idea
I would like to add a little to it and request the senior members to share their tips regarding

Time management i.e. how much time should we give to each subject
Making notes i.e. What's the best way of making notes
suggestions regarding optional subjects with the scoring/non scoring thing in mind
recommending books
and lastly the best way to attempt the paper

Thanks in anticipation

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.

2. choose some topics for essay and add notes and points on those topics regularly.

It is not announced yet. As per tradition it is expected to be announced in November. Forms will be submitted till the fist week of January. And exam will be held in March 2010. Due to delay of one month in CE-2009 they can change their schedule.
