Default Total number of idioms/phrases?
I was wondering the approximate amount of idioms/phrases in English language . or how much should be prepared for CSS exam. I have mobile app which has more than 5000 of them . I will appear in CE 2016 .So I was thinking to prepare 10-15 every day . Is it enough ?

It is better to prepare idioms selectively instead of exhausting oneself in all of those. A viable option is to prepare those which appeared in previous papers.

Yes they do. Try to go through all papers from previous thirty years at least.

Twenty nine years papers from 1971 to 1999 are available in the following thread:-

http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-past-...71-1999-a.html

Papers from 2000 to 2014 are available in CSS Past Papers section of the forum.
In total these are papers of previous forty four years. How is it that you can not get papers of last thirty years?
