Another question is that what was the length of the answers and please dole out some examples?
Yup! I did give loads of sub-headings... I divided each one of my Pakistan/Current Affairs' questions into three parts.
1. Introduction or background
2. The main answer
3. Conclusion or Impacts etc (crafted according to the question asked)

Hmmm about 5-6 sides, maybe. This actually depends on your hand-writing… mine is congested and small.

Not in the mood to discuss this... I got what I wanted! Alhumdullilah

I have mentioned Sociology and Psychology books in the same thread. Please scroll up to look for the post.

For Journalism:
Jahangir times' book
Internet sources
And another one by Munawwar saeed or something... I can't recall the name. I must check it and let you know.

Thanks!

Well, my score in Indo-Pak is poor I could only score 76 ... I was expecting something in 100s but never mind! Well, I don't find myself in a position to help you to prepare Indo-Pak because my score is really low... However, I could help you with others.

Psychology - I sifted out Psychology has an optional, since I had it as a subject in my bachelors. All I did was revise the lessons. Do not leave out any topics - just give a thorough reading to each and everything. It is an interesting subject and quite easy, too... so nothing to worry!

Journalism - It is mostly based on general knowledge. If you go through the Journalism paper-2011, you will realize that one could even solve it without any preparation. I did consult a couple of books for it... but it really needs you to have a creative mind, so that you can easily present your general ideas.

Sociology - Again, an easy one... you just need to understand the basic concepts and rest you can develop things on your own.

My Overall Strategy:

1. Try to develop your writing skills. My freelance writing job has assisted me like anything to achieve my CSS goal. If your writing skills are good, you will be able to tackle even the trickiest of questions.
2. MCQs promise solid marks. So, give much importance to the preparation of MCQs of each and every paper.
3. Be confident and keep a winning attitude!
Congrates...
pray for me as this is my first attempt. i select pure maths, chemistry and urdu as an optional subject.
again best of luck...

At Amna

Sister i read your success story and its truly inspirational.
My question would be about writing skills,Like how did you improve your writing skills.As far as i know many beginners struggle with skill of writing,you said that it took you only about three months to go full fledge in the attempt.,So how did you work on writing skill?
Or was it already with you since you had done M.A English?

Regards

Aadil Khokhar

Madam first of all accept my heartfelt congratulations for making it in the 1st attempt

I had a few queries

Did your masters in english help u in getting through this competition? I also have the same subject as my major in B.A along with political science what would you suggest me a master in political science or in english? and if i intend to do masters in english then should i go for linguistics or literature because many universities are nowadays offering separate masters in linguistics and separate masters in literature?


Thanks in advance!

may you have a prosperous future.
