Hi ,
First of all , I congratulate all CE-2013 Qualifiers and wish all CSS- aspirants success. Firstly, My Scores in during CSS/PMS Journey:
English Essay= 55 Marks (CSS 2011)
English Essay= 57 Marks (PMS-2011)
English Essay=60 Marks(CSS-2013)
Allocation: FSP.
Merit: 44.
My Tips:
1- Always Write to the point.
2-Relevent outline (Main thing)
3-First paragraph must describe the whole essay in maximum 5/6 sentences.
4-Coherent, Organized and each passage must be logically leading to the next one ad so on ..
5-Quality is very important rather than quantity (I never wrote more than 2800 words and not more than 10 pages)= Approximately 300 words/page.
6-Prose Writing .
7- Truly relevant quotes to support your arguments.
8- Intellectual depth. Read more and more books :Philosophy, Political Science, Law and Literature etc etc.
9-No idea should repeat...
10- Practice makes perfect.( I use to write an essay on every Sunday).

(Success smiles on ordinary people with extra- ordinary hard work.)

You were writing on blank pages and you wrote 300 words per page!
However we were given pages of 27 lines in CE 2014. And One can write maximum 8 words per line.
I think if You wrote 10 blank pages then it would be equal to 6 pages of 27 lines. Your words would not be more than 1000.

It means you wrote 5 pages. And you are claiming that you wrote 3000 words on 5 pages. I wrote 20 pages. It means I wrote 12000 words. Do you want to fail me in Essay paper?

The purpose of the thread is to share the experience only , I think one is not getting my idea of writing. I wish one success in essay..
The main thing is :
words= maximum 3000 and to the point. I can write 3000 words on ten sheets or 5 pages. Its my experience.. Sorry, I cannot comment on others words,pages and style.

junaids number speak louder than his words. His intent is positive and is based of good faith. Cross questioning would not help the cause. . try to find positive things from what he said.
