[QUOTE=Ur iphone;1059662]Aoa. This is a very nice essay, great job :)

How did your psychology paper go?
I think the questions in part 2 subjective were quite general in nature and not like previous years psychology papers....
What are your thoughts on psychology’s second portion?[/QUOTE]
My paper went well. Yeah I totally agree with you that questions were general and analytical type. Previous year, questions were n like that and pretty straight forward from syllabus topic. This time examiner has adopted applied approach. Actually I like these kind of questions. They are my specialty. I am kind of weak in cramming and straight forward stuff.

Your outline has 50 points. Each point has to be a separate paragraph in the essay. Minimum length of a paragraph has to be 80 words. So you wrote this long outline, and a 4000 word essay in 3 hours? Truly remarkable! Hope you replicate such success in 2018.

I have not counted my points. Obviously each point was a separate paragraph. There is no minimum or maximum length of paragraphs. I did not count words of my paragraphs but apart from introductory paragraph, I am pretty sure I wrote less than 80 words per paragraph. Each paragraph just had 4-5 sentences i.e topic sentence, at least two supportive arguments and conclusion. All paragraphs were too the point. I tried not to beat about the bush in the essay. I have not counted words of entire essay but approximately they were 3500-3700 words. My writing speed is very high due to extensive practice over the years. I gives me edge sometimes.
I believe that I had sort of committed blunder by writing such a long essay in 2017. I have tried to correct it in 2018. This time I focused more on content and less on length. I am pretty hopeful about passing this time too (In Sha Allah).
Well good luck for your result.

Thanks:wait

@Anum Zara
:clap:clapYour outline along with strategy and tips are more than remarkable.
I am your super junior, and probably give my CSS attempt in 2020.Now please let me know, that according to points in the outline we have to write a separate paragraphs. I have found some bold characters along with simple ones in your first post of the thread. I want to ask, that may we have to put headings inside the essay while writing it, and if it is then may headings should be only on the place of bold letters or along with the every point and every paragraph?
Respected senior, i shall be greatly thank full to you.
I am waiting for you reply anxiously.
