hey all ,,, m gonna share my strategy for preparation as only 2 months are left , if u find it useful do pray for me and if u don't find it worthwhile still pray for me

Assuming u haven't covered any subject , then no problem just don't think about how much time is left just think u have to put ur 100% n leave rest up-to the GOD
u have to study 10 to 12 hours a day or u can extend it .
now u have to give 10 days to the specific subject which u select to cover alongside the essay , CA , English .and EDS , these subjects to be given 2 hours each daily and and 4 to 5 hours to ur optional subject ,,got it ..
now for eds u have to just solve the past papers , solve one paper daily if possible from this
http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-compu...ce-1991-a.html

OK, now essay , start making outline daily , search website n collect data on any particular topics and then start writing a little paragraph on those outlines , but u have to do it on DAILY BASIS , and for English solve precise and comprehension that is must font rely on idioms ,and other tiny stuff , but u can cram pair of words from Sadat book , they can earn u 10 marks solid.
OK CA , again there are some hot topics listed on forum , note them and start collecting data on that , or u can but a good current affairs journal like Jahangir quarterly journal .
baqi Allah p chor do......tension nai laini
ar don't forget to solve objectives ,, don't skip them , u can buy books of objectives or can solve from past years papers
.. wish u all best

em too much upset......bcz of shortage of time....

look sahar, dont be upset , use ur that energy too in preparation , believe in urself and believe in Allah .. its just an exam ,,, u just work hard and leave rest upto the God ... 3 months are more than enough , the only requirement is to be determind . stick to ur goal and achieve it u not alone there are many aspirants like u , including me all the best

Your idea sound quite good but at the same time, they do need COMMITMENT, CONCENTRATION AND CONSISTENCY to thrive in your pursuit.
I can add to it the tips that would enable you to revise your course even more than 15 times prior to the exams.
Here is the detail.

Memory 2 types ki hoti hai. pata hai na?
1. Active memory
2. Passive memory
Whatever we revise is stored in our active memory while what we have forgotten is stored in our passive memory.
Ek CSP officer koi jin nahi hota ke wo CSS clear kar jaye ya prominent position le. Too many revisions have helped them memorize lots of things.
Firstly, make bullet notes of your topics.
Suppose you prepare topic # 1 first day in 2 hours.
Next day, before starting topic # 2. give just 10 minutes and normally revise topic # 1 and then start topic # 2
And then the next day, before starting topic # 3. give just 5 minutes and normally revise topic # 1 and 10 minutes for topic # 2 and then start topic # 3
The next day, the older the topic gets, the lesser number of minutes will be required for your revision
You will see that you will be revising your topic in 1 minute only since it develops it creates pictorial memory
Believe me, aap ko ye bhi yaad hoga ke kis topic ke kis page ke kon si headings hain
It will work wonders for you.
Iss tarah aap ki more than 15 revisions ho jayen gi
I hope i don't exaggerate but aap just topic ka naam sun ke ye bata saken gi ke iss ke pehle words kya hain or last or middle ke kya.

Hello Dears.....
M also starting studies at elevenths hour , can anyone guide me for Essay n CA in such a short period .
Actually m afraid of PA too, Ma EDS good but yet not seen since last OCT, for my optional i want guidance for Journalism, Sociology, Geography, Punjabi and Public Ad.
Plzzzz guide me for these subjects to get through this attempt .
One thing more i wanna know abt the latest upper age limit clarification notice on official website of CSS, is there any change or its same, I want to know the exact age, plzzz lemme know the correct one.


A prompt reply is expected!

Regards.

can u provide notes of public add?

First of all let me clear your mind about upper age limit for CSS, its 28 for civilians. Then coming to your queries about preparation strategies of different subjects mine suggestions are as follows:
Essay
No need to worry about it, you have still got 3 months. Do a lot of practice . Write at least one essay a week and get it checked by someone. InshAllah it will help.
CA
Again no need to worry, in fact its the right time to prepare CA. It should be the last subject an aspirant should prepare. Contemporary Affairs by Imtiaz Shahid is a good book to be consulted plus Dawn.
PA
Consult Ikram Rabbani's book and cover most repeated questions only. Solve last 10 years' papers.
For Sociology and Geography too the tips are same i.e. cover only most repeated questions plus solve last 10 year's papers. Public Admin, Journalism and Punjabi are not my optionals so sorry for them.
Divide your time intelligently, allocate specific days for different subjects. Set small targets and make sure you achieve them well in time so that you can get enough time in the end to revise the course. And most importantly believe in yourself, you can do it. All the success!.

Regards,

I would advise you to go for bullet-notes only which generally comprises of 2 pages per topic.
Don't go for detailed notes.
These bullet-notes will work as MCQs too.

Hi me too started now...
time is short & we have to work alot
one suggestion...don't search or go for and even don't try to make detailed notes...the best thing is that you may higlight on your books or may in bullet form...
