CSS Tips - Noor ul Ain Fatima

lala1447 · #1 Monday, March 16, 2009

Thanx to all of you for your heartiest congratulations.My optional subjects were Indopak history,Urdu,Constitutional Law and Journalism.I'll post my tips in a series like fashion.As for my general tips are concerned:
1:I was a regular member of Quaid-e-Azam public library .They have a nice collection of many books especially on Moghul History and on Urdu(especially Iqbaliat).Almost every year there is question on Iqbal and you can prepare your notes from there.
2:For current affairs,try to read columns on newyork times,washington post,Guardian online.They give you a wide perspective to attempt your paper
3:For English try to get a good quotation book and remember some quotes or verses of good poets like Tennyson,Shakespeare or Longfellow.They'll help u in paragraph writing.
4:My parents told me this:Offer ur prayers daily and recite Surah Yasin.Darood Sharif and Surah Nasr.
Next time I'll post my tips on my first optional subject Indo Pak history
Take care Allah Hafiz

1.I've read lot of books in Indo Pak history mainly from Quaid e Azam Public library but for general guidance 3 books are good:
1:K Ali
2:Tariq Awan(by feroze sons)
3:Sohail Bhatti
but plz dont rely on them and make ur own good notes.For making notes on Babar I had to read Tuzk-e-Babri too
2:Use quotations of important Historian(you can find quotes even In K Ali)like Elphinstone in your question.
3:In almost every question which I attempted I drew maps of subcontinent and indicated the relevant king's battles on that map.
4.Dont forget to write critical analysis at the end.

Aoa!
Today I'm posting my tips for Urdu
1.First of allchoose Urdu only if you are really good in it otherwise its not scoring
2.Read adabi sections of different newspapers
3.Before attempting such questions in Urdu A( like COMMENT ON STYLE OF Mushtaq Yousafi)give a brief introduction of author and his/her works.
4.I also used quotations for example in the question(COMMENT ON STYLE OF Mushtaq Yousafi?) I gave quotation of Zameer Jafari
Mushtaq Yousafi Urdu ka Mangla dam hain.
5.Buy MA Urdu master guidekits very relevant.Anwar sadeed urdu adab ki thareekh is aother good book
6.For Iqbal and Ghalib MA Urdu has separate books like Ghalib aur Iqbal get them too
7.Try to memorize lot of Ashaars
I'll post my tips for CA next time InshAllah

PS: For indopak history maps,I used Tariq awan.Even K ali has gven maps of subcontinent during each king's era

Congrat Ms Fatima,

You know i was surprised to see the 1st positon holder is belonging to Lahore. Tell me how u started ur preparation initially when you wanted to attemp the CSS. Also tell about ur time table of study, were u studied all the subjects regulary or 1 or 2 subjects in a day.

Regards,

Aoa!
First of all lots of thanx for your good wishes

Now I'll give answers one by one
1.Noor both books are good but do buy master guide MA Urdu because it'll help u a lot
2.Snake I'll post my DMS when I'll receive them
3.Critical analysis in indopak should be about half to one page long(a lot depends on the size of writing the criterion I've mentioned is for medium sized).The number of quotations depends upon memory and availability.I gave an average of 5-6
4.I've prepared my CSS in only 4 months(my son was just 5 months old when I gave written papers) so I studied all subject at once but If you have time you can divide in such a way that you prepare your compulsory subjects first and then come to your optionals.It all depends on your personal style

Farishta · #10 Friday, March 20, 2009

Indeed Dr Noor Ul Ain tips are invaluable and more than that, her humbleness and readiness to help is commendable - contrasted to what the would-be CSPs do not possess.

We request her to post tips for complusory subjects too, a bit sooner. As these are the complusory subjects which has made life of many aspirants difficult.

Waiting for the tips on compulsory subjects,
