Most important paper (Essay)
 

Essay writing is the first and most important paper in CSS examination. There is a general perception that one should prepare all other 11 subjects but no need of any thorough preparation for essay writing. I totally disagree with all those who think that either one cannot or one should not prepare for this particular paper. Essay writing needs at least as much preparation and attention as any other subject, if not more than other subjects.

I have met many individuals who have even attempted CSS but they don’t know what essay really is. This is the main reason that every year around 60 to 70 % candidates fail to get 40 marks in essay paper. When such candidates come out of examination hall they show off by telling their friends that they wrote 23 pages and when after a few months they get their marks sheets they are shocked to see that they just have 23 marks in essay. Marks like 10, 20 and 25 are quite common in essay writing. For your surprise sometime candidates get zero. This happens when one has totally misunderstood and misjudged meaning of proposition.

Now the question arises how to proceed and prepare? The answer is one should develop a crystal-clear view about essay and essay writing. In an earlier post I have recommended en.wikipedia.org , I would suggest all those who are preparing for CSS that they must visit

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/essay[/url]

Some of you might have seen past papers of essay and might have thought that it is an easy paper as one has maximum choices as compare to any other paper. It is a fact that one may have 10 propositions to choose from but I think most of you had not paid heed to a note written in all of past papers, it is

“Write a comprehensive and analytical essay on one of the following topics:”

As far as the word comprehensive is concerned it is quite clear that one has to write several pages but what is the real meaning of word analytical in essay writing. For your information there are several types of essays and analytical essay is a specific type. If you will write an excellent essay but it is not analytical then it is quite likely that you will get less than 40. I will suggest that you should research web and find out what are analytical essays. You can view my post for having an idea of analytical essays.

Essay writing is a pure art and like any other art it really needs thorough and extensive practice and preparation. I personally know people who are expert and professional essay writers and they are earning thousands of dollars by selling their essays on the web.

From my point of view your command on English language is the most significant ingredient for qualifying CSS. If on the basis of several years of education and studies you have developed a sublime expression in written English then you have got a fair chance to qualify CSS. Those who are weak in English or have pathetic written expression it is simply not possible to qualify. They should better improve their English and then think of appearing in CSS.

As I have worked as a Concept & Creative Writer in an Internet Marketing Company so I have got a fair idea of what essay writing is. Some seniors have given tips on essay writing but I don’t think anyone has raised such points. I will be sharing some other insights about essay writing and other papers in future so do continue with me and let me know your opinions about my views.

U should have come up with some more concrete suggestions for new aspirants, dear.

salam,


Waheed why don’t you come up with new some more concrete suggestions for new aspirants instead of just advising other, dear after all you are a qualified guy- a CSP!

I would like to add some tips about Essay Writing.....apart from the typical and conventional tips about the intro, body and ending part of the essay.

One very very very important task in it is ....BRAINSTORMING.....!....and most of the people giving tips about essays either ignore mentioning it or don't think it as too important or take it for granted that people inherently indulge in brainstorming.

BRAINSTORMING means that the moment, a topic for essay is presented before you, you have to start thinking about it and think as much and as diverse as possible and during this thinking process whatever words, phrases or ideas come to your mind, write them down on a piece of paper. Remember that u have to be imaginative and diverse but too much diversity may lead to diversion from the topic.
This Brainstorming session takes 10 to 15 minutes at the most for an Essay paper of 3 hours.

After this........you then have to make an outline of the Essay.....And i have been advised by some CSS qualifiers that one should make an elaborate and a bit lengthy outline, stretching over 2 to 3 pages. Yes...I know that such an idea would scare you off.....but a lengthy outline can be made by mentioning almost all the important points in it, even if that point is discussed in the body of the Essay in hardly 2 lines ;)

While making an outline and hence the whole Essay, one should try to answer the 5 Ws and 1 H (i.e. What, Why, When, Where, Who, How) of the Essay Topic. e.g. if there is an Essay on Democracy.....one can answer the following questions:

WHAT is democracy
WHEN did democracy start and its historical evolution
WHERE did democracy start and WHERE is it prevalent now a days (and many other questions flow from this question)
WHY democracy originated.....the causes of its growth etc
WHO were the proponents and the opponents of democracy; WHO are the supporters of democracy in this era etc etc
HOW democracy can be flourished etc.

Apart from this many other aspects of a topic can also be discussed but the 5 W and 1 H should at least be answered.....or in some cases, one can selectively answer some of the Ws and the H. It depends on the topic.

I do not think so that i need to emphasize upon a good and innovative opening.....The opening can be a quotation, any scene (although i usually start with the portrayal of a scene cuz memorizing quotes can be a hell ov a job) or any other opening method.

Phir one more thing is that instead of being rhetorical and tooo assertive, one should be logical, rational and moderate and UNBIASED!

Also, extensive reading (reading anything u can lay ur hands on) helps a lot and expressive and good vocabulary adds to the beauty of ur essay.

Phir comes the end part......here also i don't need to empahsize that it should be an impressive one too......it can be imaginative and innovative....usually a cliched ending is ending by presenting recommendations or your own suggestions....yhe bhi chal jaata hai, if u r left with little time to finish your essay.

Time management and ESSAY MANAGEMENT is very important. itni likhein jitnaa aap 3 hours mein sameit sakein......i would suggest that on the brainstorming and outline writing thing, do not spend more than 30 minutes. Even 40 minutes is allowed but not more than that....u need at least 2 hours to write a 20 pages Essay in the paper......

n yes! quantity also counts to some extent!....i presume that one should write 20 pages in the paper, excluding the 3 page outline...agar outline ko milaaya tau phir 23 pages kaa Essay honaa chahiyey.

n trust me...if u have ample ideas on the topic, u would find even 20 pages very less for writing the essay completely in 3 hours.

n also, do not try to dodge the examiner by drawing margins on the paper and writing in big and large fonts (types)....although your writing should be clear and legible and big enough for the Examiner.

Bus....abhi tau itni hi mind mein aa raha hai......:)

I would appreciate if someone can add to these points.

@ Karrar
 

SIR - Salaam,

Kaise hain aap? (This style of yours is dashing, I am considering of adopting it.)

Thanks for the tips. They are exactly like what I have been suggested.

My seniors further suggested me to make short sentences.

Reasons: They minimize the chances of errors. They are easier to handle.

Avoid aggressive usage of vocabulary in pursuit of impressing the examiner. Sometimes you might end up using words whose proper meanings either you do not understand or you might commit the crime of using them improperly.

The examiner would just encircle such usages and those circles would put a bad impression while the marking phase.

So use a simple word rather than a complex word. [I][Also supported by Sa'adat Ali Shah, author of Exploring the World of English][/I]

As regards the brainstorming part, they agree with you there as well. They assigned 30 mins. (max) for the brainstorming part and suggested not to pick up the pen to write the essay before proper planning (noting down the points and making the outline) - and once you've planned the essay well, dont' stop while you write :D!

Outlines are too important. They give a sense of direction. The ones who don't make outlines are often caught guilty of digression.

Outlines further help in giving a 'complete' look in in the essay. You might have missed an important point in the outlines, but if you have discussed all your outlined points in your essay, the essay qualifies the definition of a 'complete essay'.

Also, they have strictly prohibited a candidate from switching topics once the have begun. According to them, crossing the answer copy is an unethical practice. [This was a suggestion of a CSP(2003) with merit number 26. Actually the guy had himself crossed his essay while attempting his PMS exams. And surprisingly, he failed in his PMS. Perhaps because he had to pass CSS. I feel sorry for him. :D]

Hence, the emphasis on proper planning prior to writing.

[Ficklemindedness is to be limited to the planning part only.]

Further, a candidate should practice writing essays on blank sheets (sheets without margins to write on). It is my personal observation that if you use good quality paper (not the photostat one), you would be able to write more beautifully. Use an ink pen with good quality ink (darker inks tend to resist the pen's smooth motion, so, avoid it).

During practice, one should have a strict vigilance on the moving sticks of the clock. Limiting oneself to 3 hours, as in exams, would be a good idea at the advanced stages of practice. [At the beginning stages you can take however long you want. With the passage of time, you'll have command over writing and the time span will shorten by itself].

This is how a candidate gets used to handling time-constraint pressures.

Get your essays checked from some experienced person. He could be helpful in renovating sentence structures (if required).

NOTE: Before writing this I presume that the candidate does not have serious grammatical shortcomings in his style.

Brother Karrar, thats what I could add right now. In case you have some conflicting views about any point, we could settle the matter from under the table ;)

Regards,

To Adil Memon
 

Sir...
Thanx for appreciating my style....:)
Waisay agar aap bhi MIRC aur MSN ki khaak chaanein tau phir aisay kaiii styles aap ko aa jaaein gay :P ;)

Ur ideas about the Essay are more than sufficient and quite complete.....i won't say prefect cuz there is always room for improvement :)

n surely I don't disagree with any point of urs...

rather i thank you for augmenting my ideas and adding to my knowledge...:)

and do not mind my frequent smileys.....cuz yeh aadat bhi mujhay MIRC aur MSN say lageee huwi hai....

u take care

Good work Karrar and Adil,

I'm much impressed to see such wonderful work here.But I'd like to add some more.

1- Between 'Brainstorming' and 'Outlining', there should be an element of 'Narrowing' . Actually 'Brainstorming' results in maximum possible diverse ideas and facts. it is not necessary that one should include all the points(result of brainstorming) in the essay, instead the most important and closely related facts should be given the preference. 'Narraowing' allows unnecessary data to be omitted.( it'll take hardly five minutes or less)

2- 'Sequencing' is the essence of essay writing. Outline in a sequence gimmicks the readers attention. along with sequenced outline, the structure of essay should be in the same manner.(Sequencing and Narrowing can be done simultaneously)


Regards
Qurat

SIR - Salaam,

Sir Karrar, thanks for granting me the permission to emulate your style.

Miss Qurat, thanks for complementing our suggestions. I missed to put light on that aspect.

And by the way, the word 'woderful' is also nice. Hahahah!! 'WODERFUL' :evil

Never mind.

Sir Khurram, it's our pleasure to draw commendation from you.

Regards,

Waslam dear,

Yes, Commons is a sort of batch number, which was started if I am not wrong in 1972...Every batch which passes out the CTP, is recognized by this title...Like the first batch was 1st commons, 2nd and so on... And the csp's of year 2006 are 35thcommons...Those who joined civil service prior to this are called pre-commoners.

Really Eassy is most important subject,,,,
but how 2 get passing marks/ max Marks in such difficult subject can ant1 help me about such ???

@power

for essay writing, you have to have a complete grip on language (English) first, eg.

1. control ur words "Spellings" its Essay not Eassy.
2. control ur Group of words "Sentence".
3. Control ur sentences "Paragraph" arrange them in such an order which make the topic clear.
4. Write ur paragraphs in chronological way eg.
> first intro the topic
> Argue in favor of the topic
> argue against the topic (if possible)
> give some remedies /suggestions
> sum-up/conclude in the end.
5. Try to write this five paragraph essay.
6. Practice as much as u can with Trial and error method.
7. keep ur six senses open to collect handsome material to write on.

This what I do for this subject.

[B][I][COLOR="Olive"]I want to say something about the idea of making outline in an essay. I don't know why but I personally don't like to make an outline in an essay. It just seems odd to me and I have never been able to force myself in favour of making outlines.I prefer to go straight away for writing an essay after the brainstorming and arranging the sequence of the ideas/points.

So far this strategy has always proven successful for me and I intend to keep doing it in future also.

Can anyone explain to me as to why making an outline of an essay should be a preferred option. [/COLOR][/I][/B]

Out Lining an Essay
 

Dear Bro,

See what the seniors are advising, Many of them are qualifier in the CSS exam with distinction. We should learn something from them, or atleast we should give it a try.

@qaarjk
Dear i dont have enough time to explain why outline is important in essay and will only say that its very very important.Its helps you arranging your ideas in desired order. Once put down successively it helps you to concentrate on other things like grammar and spellings as you have already evolved ideas in the form of outline.And you dont need brainstorming for ideas. You write continuously and consistensely without pressurising your mind. I intend to give outline in every paper and in every question.................Its your outline which casts the lasting impression on examiner.
hope it helps....

What I have learned from my past experience making outline is the best practice. I endorse all the suggestions of waseem gurmani.
In nutshell, it saves your time, gives a well thought path to follow without stopping at any time during your exam time, it keeps you balanced, helps you to manage time, above all its pressurizes you to produce more and more in a clear cut way which is relevant.

When you are not sure about the relevance and correctness of your outline then write down outline on any rough page in the paper. That will surely help you while answering the question. For the sake of hiding your weakness don't present that outline in the answer just take it as your groundwork.

I have been in habit of writing down the key points / outlines on the question paper infront of the relevant question as soon as I read the question. That helps me a lot to write logically and manage the time. Even that helps me in deciding the sequence of questions which should be attempted first and which should be left for last hour.

outline is the basic structural and functional unit of Essay to me.
it serves really what Raz has explained.

I m not an expert on essay writing but i hav heard that there are 10 reservd marks for making outline in the begining of an essay.
And it is obvious that an outline is the instrument to the cheker to know what a candidate is going to put in throughout the essay.
However, an outline is a guidance to write in a choronological way as it has been mentioned above. So, donot get reluctence to go through for an outline. Rather it will help u to get high marks. Best of luck:vic

an outline is the constitution of essay.
it guides you smoothly in the whole essay.

essay writing
 

well no doubt essay is the most imp paper in css.... and also the first one....
good start ends in happy ending.

according to my opinion ..... made outlines of essay in the first half an hour thorughly on the back side.... last page of answer sheet ,,,,,,,
there is no need to write outline in the begening of an essay.......

start ur essay if possible with a relevant qutation.....

then start writing the essay as u write ur journy to some place.... step be step..... there must be continuity in ur essay..... its very important.....
didvide it into paragraphs..... add all the relevant data and dont go out of track..... go on a rail road......

use easy english and good gramer......
bring connectivity in ur paragraphs and ideas u presenting....
insert quotations and all relevent data where needed....

i hope it will be easy and helpfull way.....

this is my method of essay writing......

i wrote in essays in differnt exam PCS css NAB and other deptmental exams and i passed those papers.......

About Essay
 

AoA, Islah u gave excellent hints for essay writing but u know my experience is somewhat different. I met a Professor in Islamabad who actually checks the essay paper. He told me that following things are bases while marking the essays:

1. OUTLINE
2. Content
3. Style
4. Organization
5. Grammar

He told me that one must give the outline the neat area instead of rough and style is very much important. For example, A sentence "It was June" can be written in style english as "June it was..." and so on. the style also includes quotes etc..
And the essay must be written in coherent manner. this goes for organization. that is to say that translate each point of urs in ur outline into a full paragraph.
If someone still feels ambiguity, plz do tell me i ll be more than pleased
Farrukh

One More Imprtent Point
 

Some Candidates Intrdouce Sub-headings While Making Outlines And They Get Through Easily In Paper.so Here I Request The Company Of Islah G,mumtaz Hayat Maneka ,raz And Other Member To Share Their Reservations Over Introdoucing Of Sub-headings Undera Major Heading.for Example
For The Eassy Can We Prevent World War-3,if One Introdouces The Heading Of Historical Background Of First World War;under This Outline Can One Use The Sub-heading Of :
Why First World War Happen
Consequences
Causes
Does It Has An Impact On World War-2
Conclusion
Is This The Best Way To Introduce Sub-headings Or Just Take Care Of The One Major Single Ouline,and No Need To Write Sub-headinds Of That Outline
Regards

u must give sub headings in the outline and these subhedings may also become a full fledge paragraphs
farrukh

@goof
dear i alredy mentiond in my post that this is my style of essay writing
i jave no guidance of any expert..... the only guidence is what my mind says....
about heading there are diffrnt opinions..... but whatever the case may be if i write essay again and again i will not use outlines at the beggening nor i will give headings to my essay......

tahnx
islah

@aliraza171
 

In my opinion, the use of sub-headings in outline can yield good result only if the organisation and structure of your outline demands that i.e. if you have to introduce new ideas and/or different topics then subheadings can help you in organizing certain facts and points pertaining to each of the idea separately. It will help the examiner to comprehend easily what you are going to present in your essay.

thanks islah g,a goof and arif rao for their precious comments.but i still feel at the precarious brink over using sub-headings or not.i have been trying to write an esaay on "can v prevent world war3"since a week ago,but even yet cann't construct my outlines .in my childish opinion,i have following outlines:
1-what is war
2-historical background of first world war
a-causes
b-consequences
c-did it lead to world war 2
3-historical background of second world war
a-causes
b-cnsequences
c-will it result in world war3
4-circumstances leading to world war3
a-financial crises
b-ecnomic crises
c-monoply of capitalism
d-western infuence over saudi oil
e-war on terror
5-prophecies of world war3
6-can v prevent it
7-conclusion

ali raza i am new at this site tell me essay writing in which manner i have read that essay should be fluent and to the point and how much lenth should be

tell me the types of topics asked in the quastion and also tell me how can i improve my writing ability in essay


what are the most importent thing which i should consider when i have to prepare for the paper


my hand writing is very bad what would be your suggestion in this regad i shall be grateful to you if you will tell me all what i have asked and another thing i want to know what do you mean by style


you please write the reply in the style which you want to tell

Outline is Optional
 

In Essay paper one is not required to make an outline of the essay. Its upto the candidate if he/she feels it helpful in writing the essay. Even if someone does not make an outline he/she can just make an iformal outline at the last page of the answer sheet. This will help him/her not to loose the main points of the essay. Another thing which should be kept in mind that if you make an outline at the beginning of the essay and your essay does not proceed according to the outline then it will create a negative impression on the examiner. Outline can also be made at the end of the essay. I think the best approach is to just brainstorm on the topic and make an informal outline at the end of the answer sheet. Write every thing which comes to your mind during brainstorming, arrange it properly. It may take last two pages of the answer sheet. Now when you have done with brainstorming, start writing the essay. During writing whatever additional point comes to your mind, just add it in the informal outline you made at the last page of the answer sheet. This approach will relax your mind and you will not have to pace your essay according to the fixed sequence (Which is not the case in which outline is given in the beginning). I followed this approach and passed the essay paper.:happy:

Outlines In The Essay
 

PLEASE SUGGEST HOW TO WRITE THE OUTLINES BEFORE STARTING THE ESSAY. SUGGESTIONS BY SENIOR MEMBERS AND THOSE WHO HAVE APPEARED &QUALIFIED THE CSS, WIULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.THANKS:busy

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Try to understand the core theme of the Essay topic. Think over its each word and come up with clear conceptual framework. Allocate reasonable time for brainstorming before writing outline. Start jotting down the rough outline at the last pages of the answer sheet. Write outline points by leaving sufficient space in between the points so that you can insert the relevant points which you recall at a later stage.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Rearrange the points in a logical order by assigning numeric symbols to these points.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Reproduce the refined final outline in the beginning of the essay in the paper. If you have technique to leave space between these final outlines do exercise these tricks because you can adjust that outline after you have completely written the essay. You may face problem when there is nothing mentioned in the outline but luckily you recalled some important ideas to write on during the paper and in the continuity of that writing process you can accommodate these points in the already prepared outline having line spaces.[/FONT][/SIZE]

Dear supersonic dexter: Brother RAZ has beautifully laid out strategy for compsing outline. That is the only proven strategy by most candidates.
There may be exceptions, there may be God-gifted minds, who start rightaway writing their essay without sparing last page for rough work on outline making. But, This is really a dangerous thing to write your essay rightaway. you may be thinking that yu know enough about the topic so it is better to write than to think, but i think, you should organize your thoughts on paper from your memory, then write on these.
When you are given three hours for writing essay. spare some of this time for 'brainstorming' or 'freeflow' writing. How much time to spare for activity varies from candidate to candidate. ideally, you should write down all important points on rough paper. I took, usually an hour to compose rough draft and outline!! others have spent half an hour, some spend fifteen minutes. so it is important to spare sometime for tis activity

[B][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="2"]Why should you spend time for outline?[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

Dear, essay writing is really test of your skills. Most people find it difficult to write essay,although they can deliver sermons. but when it comes to writing they feel null and void. writing essay in css exam is particularly difficult, because you dont only write an essay, but it has a considerable length. Most candidate seem to do it extempory. Therefore, in my view, you must spend time on necessary part of essay writing, that is, making effective outline. If your outline is effective, consider yourself half pass.[i say half pass, because, in addition to outline, you have to write down meaningful essay.]

best of the luck.

My rating = 8/10

@ Algoof
 

Brother, most respectfully, your outline on the topic: can we avoid ww3? is diverted a little from the topic. The words of the title clearly suggest that, surely after preparing a good background, we must, eventually, answer the question that whether ww3 can be avoided or not? Of course, it would require a detailed analysis of the factors responsible, but this should not be considered sufficient. You must focus on the words of the topic and derive the concentration on your essay from it.
