solving a paper of css doesnot require ordinary techniques that one used to apply in school and university. while you are going to ink the answer sheet,sitting in css exam, you must understand two things viz: what is being asked ? and what would be the proper answer?
here is the simplified scheme to solve any paper ( islamiat is also inluded).
1. you have only first ten minutes to select the questions with rough idea.
2. when u have selected the question (except compalsory) find out those four questions which can be best answered by you.
3. remember that you dont have to beat about the bust, read the sequence of the things asked in question and answer all the key words one by one.
4. always use blue ink pen and keep ink remover with you so you have one chance to undo to what you did.
5. remove all cuttings that give bad impressions.


i will discusss paper solving techniques specifically in few days

ESSAY PAPER.
essay is not a big deal provided u know that what is the essence of essay.
essay is nothing but a set patteren of writing . u have to follow the rules that are essential for any essay in any form of language.
following are the steps to prepare and pass the paper of essay.
1. WHAT MATERIAL TO BE STUDIED FOR ESSAY?
essay requires a comprehensive knowledge of the topic to be disscused. if you are writing on global warming or renewable energy you must have the accurate statistics for the topic. simillarly if you are writing on terrorism or misperception about islam than you must know different refrences and saying of prominent leaders.
therefore i recommend extensive reading of dawn, find out articles from www.encarta.com on various issues like global warming, renewable energy, humanism, civil liberties, terorism etc. (it helped me to obtain 54 in essay)
2.HOW TO WRITE?
it first needs the selection of topic. always chose an easy topic for what u have done homework. than use thesis statement style of writing easy.
pay attention on introduction and conclusion.
REMEBER TO USE EASY WORDS AND MAKE SHORT SENTECES. DONT MAKE ANY GRAMMATICAL OR SPELLING MISTAKE.
YOU WILL PASS IT INSHALLAH

Dr.Junaid!
no doubt, your techinques are more valuable for the newcomers in the arena of competition. you should keep on this series of tip covering subjects of ur own interest and rest of the list,too.

current affairs.
it is hard to get good score in current affairs paper, but not impossible. the best way of preparing yourself for current affairs is reading dawn and weekly economist. you can have economist on web because one issue costs 300 rupees.
take out opinion and editorials from dawn. reading of the letters to editors give you insight that how one has to present his own suggestions.so these letters are also important. print out some of the articles from www.economist.com on weekly basis.
at the end of month categorize the articles in accordance to the subject and bring out the best one from every category and discard all other. you can keep 2 articles for each category if required.
make a note of impotant dates ,personality, and other important information.( dont miss international page).

while you are solving the paper you must go in the following sequence for every question.
1. background
2.present situation.
3. plus and minus of the topic.
4.conclusion with recommendations.

ISLAMIAT
it is my personal opinion that one must take the paper of islamiat in urdu and not in english (not necessary). one has to solve 5 question plus one compulsory question. the paper of islamiat (current pattren) asks one to have command over islamic basics. you have always to show yourself as islamic and not a moderate. if the question is on freedom of women than you must show the real picture depicted in islam and not go for ideas for liberalism.
recommended book jahangir book's depu islamiat for css
tarjuman alquran (magazine)
dawn friday islamic article.
in urdu newspaper islamic articles.

i recommened that u must write beautifuly and put verses( shair) according to the suitability of the topic. it realy boosts your score.
