By the Grace of Almighty I also did it in first attempt. Tips from my side are; just improve your base knowledge skills by reading as much as you can quality material. And meanwhile also keep improving your writing skills.

I had almost no bookish knowledge you can say, I just read them during papers. But I can easily say my daily reading of Dawn news and my interest in rational debates and discussions on quality forums with intellectual people and my passion for current affairs and international issues helped me dearly in passing this exam in my first attempt.

I've been reading and contributing my writings since 2010 to various online newspapers, blogs and and other social media forums.

So I will say just improve your writing and knowledge and keep reading and practicing writing. And now a days as far as I saw from this last exam you can easily attempt most of the paper from your broader knowledge and analytic skills, if are you updated about almost every contemporary issue in some ways and you can raise balanced and rational debate on various issues.

About your second query, I am still not sure myself whether to apply for the upcoming CSS or not. As I've cleared PMS and CSS both in my first attempt and I am wondering whether participating in all these interviews and stuff might divert my energies or something. Or may be I'm too lazy to go for the coming ones. And if unfortunately I did not make it till the end, then I am thinking I'll apply for the next one i.e 2016. Though I am still open to ideas and discussing this choice of mine hehe.

Best Wishes!
Regards

Alhmadulilah. Cleared in first attempt. For me exclusive preparation for CSS was not possible as i am doing full time job since the day i completed my studies. Being short of time, one of my best source has been css forum and also i am fortunate enough to be working in a federal ministry where all my colleagues are CSPs.
What i have observed is that your knowledge acquired over the years, choosing optional subjects wisely and keeping yourself up to date with current affairs is the key. Also my attempt of paper was simple, to the point with simple yet clear English.
Yes, i am going to appear in the forthcoming exam too. I wish all the successful candidates a very good luck in the forthcoming stages of the exam. For those who are unable to clear it this time, i urge them to take it positively and keep in mind that failure is the key to success. Stay blessed.
