Exclamation how to answer in current affairs

How should I attempt my answer in current affairs paper?

Should I use heading and sub-heading or should I write it like a newspaper article without any sub-headings?

Please reply

best form of presentation is the one which is easier for the examiner to read and evaluate, for every paper, particularly, current affairs, ''outline and headings'' format should be adopted, as it will facilitate the candidate as well as paper checker,

p.s:remember, in css exams 80% knowledge and 20% presentation/organization of knowledge will be assessed, so try to adopt the most attractive and convincing way to present you knowledge.

best of luck!

Never attempt an answer in the form of article. always try to give the most attractive headings that you can. This is for all subjects; compulsary and optional except for english where i can't tell you whether essay can be written with headings or not.

While attempting Current Affairs' exam or any other subject give synopsis or outlines of a question. Then keeping in mind those points give the details under headings of relevant points outlined in the synopsis.
I hope this helps you.

Default still in the mid of allay

Thanks for your kind response.
Actually, I have gone through different notes. But all these notes only written in the form of open debate or discussion with few headings
for instance if we talking about Pak and Afghan relations.
Answer is just like as follow:

1 historical perspective with out heading
2 the haqqani network
3 mistrust in Afghanistan
4 Assassination of Burhanuddin
5 importance of Pakistan
6 Pakistan being ignored etc

in all above headings there is not symmetry.
I am totally confused.
Kindly if possible help me out

Here is the format/outline I used for CA Paper. (I shall discuss it with referene to Question # 2 of CSS 2011 Paper)

Question: What is AFPAK policy? How to manage its implications on Pakistan?

Answer Format:

AFPAK Policy
-------
Background of the Policy
-------
Subsequent Revisions after its intial announcement
--------
Brief Summary of its implications with emphais on Pakistan
---------
How to manage Implications
Discussed it from different angles like:

Political Implications
Economic Implications
Social Implications
Geo-strategic implications

Conclusion / Critical Analysis

Under some headings, I gave quotations, gave references from differnt international reports / agencies like mike mullen, times magazine, USAID etc. I used facts and figures wherever I could.
In critical analysis part, foucs on main points and solution of the issue etc. on a half or more page.

Give headings with blue marker. Try to use black pointer for quotations etc. If you can't use pointer for quotations / facts and figures etc, you may also underline those lines.

Hope it helps.
