[QUOTE=aishalam;1112524]I truthfully only did pre-partition and that too from a quick read through of Ikram Rabbani's book which was part of my B.A. course. For the post-partition portion of it I had this huge list of pressing national (and international) issues which I'd search up every weekend during my active prep and write brief exam notes on. These helped me prepare for current affairs, pakistan affairs and was also designed to cover an essay of those topics if it popped up. This was very efficient especially since there were quite a few gaps in my knowledge here. Technically I dedicated 3 days effort into Pakistan Affairs and got an okay 47 so I'm not complaining but this tactic would most definitely need revision. If I was to do it again, I'd focus on post-partition a lot more.[/QUOTE]

Yes, i am also thinking so: to focus more on post-partition.

That's a brilliant outline in my opinion. I would be very surprised if you don't make it in the Essay paper.

Global power dynamics topic outline

wrong usage of although and however in the thesis statement. although and however are used when there is the counter-argument. for example; Although, Pakistani institutions have found it difficult to blend digitalization in their framework, However, the Government of Pakistan has taken positive steps towards digitalized Pakistan.

it is just an example. i hope you understand what i have said.

Great Essay Thread. Should be revived with the 21 attempt so near.

Tips for Essay on Digital Economy in Pakistan
 

Most CSS aspirants do not understand how it is important to write that essay that "feels authentic".

In the sample brainstorm output mentioned in this thread, part 'd' is completely irrelevant. When you have to write an essay, please address just the part that is being asked. In this case, focus on all aspects of digital transformation and NOT give irrelevant facts about overall socio economic development.

In the week to follow, I'll compile some facts and a sample essay roadmap to act as a starting point for any essay topic that you are required to write in your essay paper.

Stay tuned!
