Salam...!

No it is not a wise choice to go for a book to prepare English Essay.It is advisable to consult multiple sources like Websites,newspapers,Notes/Books.Notes & Books are to give you reflection of how-to & what aspects of writing.You can cull some relevant quotes & ideas from notes/books.
Joining an academy is purely your privilege.In my view it is better to go for subject specialist i.e English teacher (who knows demands of CSS essay paper).
Yeah..it is a good in fact best strategy to work on topics you are going to write about.
No headings in essay,standard structure is introduction,Body & conclusion.How to treat introduction,how to adorn body of essay & how to skilfully culminate what you have written are the areas one needs to work on.

Most of our knowledge should contain our personal analysis as now a days it is much valued especially in css. However, it is equally important to gather relevant information about various topics from diverse sources. The sources to explore the knowledge of essay can be newspapers, internet, and books. What is all important in reading is to develop a general and critical understanding of the topics under study.
We are not born-learner in any particular field. Certainly, it is teachers or our respective environment which makes us expert in different fields of life. So it is better to find an experienced teacher for the evaluation of our work in essay. that enables one to scrutinize his abilities and flaws.
I would say that it is a sensible strategy to work on a few essential essays. Most of the csp recommend that smart work rather than extensive one is a good option for a css aspirant. It has two advantages: first, a person with such strategy will be able to save his time, and secondly, it is a less bothersome way to deal with the essay which, in turn, will allow one to focus keenly on other subjects as well. Nevertheless, the fact should always be borne in mind as to most of the candidates fail in essay because of their negligence in this front.
It is not predictable. Thoroughly look the past papers of essay, which will provide you a good knowledge that which kind of essays are likely to come in forthcoming paper. Those essays which are more frequently asked in different years should be the area of concern for your preparation.
Headings are nowhere used in essay. You can just use headings in making outline. As far as structure of paragraph is concerned, each paragraph should contain a particular idea and its length should be adequate. Moreover, the information about how to write an essay can be had from different books of css level.

Thanks gentlemen for your responses.I really appreciate it. Here i would like to point towards a general deficiency in me.
I simply cant write too much. I write slow and like to think about what i am writing.At most i would be able to write 10 to 12 single pages. Is that god enough or i need to build on my ability to write quick and lengthy.
I am from Rawalpindi. Can anyone point out a good teacher who can help me in critical writing. I think my grammar and vocabulary is good enough and i can accentuate my abilities in this area on my own, but with respect to analytical or critical writing i may lag.So anyone familiar with a good English teacher in this area?
