Essay paper checking technique of the FPSC examiner..
Essay Paper checking technique of the FPSC examiner:
"I look at the outline first and foremost. There are three possible types of outlines 1) relevant, to the point 2) twisted, convoluted and confusing 3) incomprehensible due to poor English The last two outline-producing varieties of candidates are half-failed in my mind when I reach the end of their outlines. Then I look for the thesis statements and again there can be three types of them 1) coherent and relevant 2) irrelevant 3) incomprehensible For the third variety, their thesis statement marks the end of their stories. I skim through the pages of their sheets in next few seconds just to find out more blunders and finally award them marks in 0-20 range. For the second type of thesis statements, if the outline is irrelevant too, I give a read to their introductory and concluding paragraphs, and just a fleeting glance to the material they've written in the body. If they used correct English, I award them marks just for doing that. If the thesis is irrelevant but the outline was relevant, I give them a fighting chance. I read the introductory paragraph, if it conveys some sense as a whole, I continue. If the essay is coherent and strong till the end, and my eyes don't find mistakes while turning the pages, this type of candidate can make through. For the candidates who have relevant outlines and thesis statements, they are already half-passed when I reach the end of their introductory paragraphs. I skim through their essays just to check if they have written the same stuff as their outline inside or if they have digressed and gone beyond the scope of the title. If they haven't done that to an unforgiving extent, they are clear. Some candidates produce very good outlines and introductory paragraphs. Once I have decided to pass them, I read whole of their essays just to decide how much they deserve above 40. But this is a very rare variety." I have quoted a person who used to be an examiner for FPSC. They don't need to read the whole essay just to ascertain this. He could know whether a candidate knew proper English just by reading five to six sentences. @Chaudhry Muddasar Nazir |

Dear Tarruf Bhatti, Suppose the preposition is; "Gender equality is a myth."
then the thesis statement will be like this: Thesis Statement: "There is no gender equality. Either it is the equality of women with men or the equality of third gender with former two. Gender equality has been a dream, but it can become reality with certain cultural and legal reforms." "Brevity is the soul of Wit." (William Shakespeare) |

I used to believe it but they read everything. That's the only reason I failed by getting 33 marks.

I think the lines written above in the first post are self explanatory and need no further clarification on the subject of writing a good essay. The examiner looks relevance , relevance and relevance in correct english. The examiner never keep in mind whether you have used English in simple words or vice virsa.

Essay Marking by FPSC Examiner
Quote:
Suppose that the examiner read your whole essay, then why this is the reason for your failure? Haven't you justified you arguments properly in the body of the essay? I am inquiring this because I attempted the same foriegn aid essay got the same marks as yours i.e. 33 |

Seems very logical. This is roughly the same approach I had in my mind about examiner's technique while checking Essay. I hope the information is true.
