well i was among the unsuccessful aspirants in 2010 as i was short of 6 marks in Islamiat. 2011 was my 2nd but last attempt due to age factor.

I joined NOA for my 2010 attempt but for 2011 i went myself without any academy.

Honestly speaking i prepared in the month of FEBRUARY only for my 2011 attempt as i was working with a multinational pharma company n resigned from there in FEB. I had a very perfect planning as i was v short of time. i strictly followed my plan n Allah has showered his blessings upon me.

i want to add few things here. one must work smart NOT hard but the most important things r perfect planning with perfect execution, prayers of parents and friends and most importantly the POSITIVITY.

all this result into the ultimate success as we all admit the role of LUCK in css n i believe that these things r collectively called as ur luck.

i wish everyone a very best of luck for their success but remember FOR CSS DO SMART WORK NOT HARD WORK. This is wut i believe in...

best of luck

I completely agree with Mr. Nasr Khan. My first attempt was in 2009 in which I passed all the subjects but failed in aggregate by 1 mark (599 marks). For 2011 I came back to Pakistan in the end of Nov and I still had assignments pending for my MSc, started my new job in Jan (with a head of department who deliberately wouldn’t let me study in free time). 4 days before the last date for submitting documents I was confused between choosing sociology and agriculture (later went with former).

I remember that I stated preparing for the exams 2 days before the essay paper and my father was enthusiastically giving me in depth information and statistics about the electricity crisis while I was sadly thinking I was going to let him down big time again this time as I had zero preparation . I hadn't even given a read to most of the optionals let alone finish them once.

But the papers were a breeze for me (thank god) and I didn’t feel lethargic (in fact I slept ALOT during the paper breaks). In 2009 i was at my wits end and halfway through the exam wanted to jump off the roof but 2011 went swiftly. So, once the papers ended I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to inshallah pass (and my intuition turned out to be true).

So I would like to second Mr. Nasr Khan’s opinion that CSS is about smart work and that a lot of it depends on luck. I don’t know what’s in store for me and whether I would qualify in the end or not but I am very happy with the fact that I passed the written portion and the encouragement and appreciation shown by my friends and family (especially my dad) on my result has really made me happy.

thank u very much for standing by my statements.

if u r here then for sure u r going to be with us in Walton Academy too inshaALLAH

BEST OF LUCK

My story is also

"Smart work instead of hard work"

Very nice. so it was not only me but many other aspirants who followed this great formula of SMART WORKING not HARD WORKING for CSS.
