@NASR KHAn
congratulations on your success!
So you have an edge of being qualifer of the written portion....
Here are the questions which i like to ask from you...
1)What are the pre-requisites to become a smart worker? I mean which qualities you are emphasing for?
2)"English Essay" is a nightmare for me(though i never seriously prepared it yet even after failure of css2011) and i am curious to know your strategy?
I am afraid of writing and you can say very moody in writing practice...what should i do?


Impatiently waiting for your comments & suggestions.

congrate to all successed aspirends , would you like to explain {SMART WORK} in detail

n how to do that smart work??

Brother Wali i think this thread is about sharing experience and secondly if you feel that all members who qualified css-2011 are posting just to brag about their success then you are at mistake as far as i have experienced this forum is just like a family we have been answering queries of each other even before result
in any examination everyone uses different methods and by chance if any method,trick proved useful ,is it a crime to share it?
your advice is most welcome,here is a one from my side .......search the forum and see daily how many queries are answered ,discussion answered. not everybody answering is a csp if someone is willing o answer or share something we should appreciate not criticize

Work done in opposite direction of mind is called hard work. Never force your mind to do what it doesn't want to do, instead, let it make avenues for you. I followed this strategy in my preparations. My mind said, "let us watch how Shoaib Akhtar is going to bowl to Jayawardinay", I said, "OK boss!". Next day it was my mind that helped me to recall those facts about Plastics which I had studied some 6 years back.
So, I believe, one should never put his brain under the burden of chores, it may get crashed. Many may not agree with me yet its my method.

please share this smart work with us, please...

Same quetion from my side as well, i m afraid of writing, at the time of writing my brain goes all blank, just like i dnt knw anythng about the topic and i cant write even a 1 paragraph... please give some advices

It was my first attempt and Alhumdullilah I have qualified the written part without having joined any academy. Few things that I believe helped me through this are:

1. True determination and motivation
2. Studying smartly, not necessarily extensively - I prepared in the last 3 months only
3. Smart selection of questions
4. Special attention to prepare MCQs
5. Highly developed writing skills

Good luck to all the CSS-2012 aspirants. Do pray for my success in interview! Thanks!

P.S I hope my post helps!

Thanks a lot for your kind words. Sure, I am here to help!
A little intro of myself – I am an English Literature and Applied Linguistics major from Peshawar University. I have worked as a lecturer in English for two years. However, I currently work as a freelance writer for an American writing firm (online). I have always been a position holder throughout my academic life, so if you are wondering on the ‘three months’ preparation time!

1. Very simple – have an undaunted faith in Allah and the abilities that he has bestowed you with. Walk to the mirror and tell yourself you can conquer the world . While studying, think about all the good things you could do for your country in a capacity of a CSP officer. Feel excited and tell yourself, this is your only chance!
2. Don’t study each and every topic that you come across – though, reading through everything could be a great strategy. I would study 8 hours a day with full concentration. Try to practice old year papers to see the nature of questions and notice the recurring stuff. Watch TV to revitalize your mind – don’t consider it a taboo, like most studious students would do. However, those 8 hours that you have for study – concentrate fully and don’t let your mind bug around on anything irrelevant. Keep your cell off – The biggest source of distraction on earth!
3. While you sit for paper – read the entire paper thoroughly. Bear in mind two things: ~ What questions you know well ~ What questions look scoring to you. Now, while the first one is easy to do, it needs smartness to have a go on the second one. This is especially applicable for EDS – go for questions with solid marks. For instance, the ones those ask you to give examples or abbreviations. (If you know what I mean!) If you are wondering, what made me think this – told you I have been a lecturer, so simply using my experience.
4. ‘MCQs’ is the part where you can grab most marks – so it is wise to spend some time preparing them. Don’t leave them for the last day. Examination schedule is hectic – so do it beforehand. Use exam cram series, Jahangir series and even dogar. Tell me your subjects?
5. Strong writing skills can assist you big time. You are not given straightforward questions like those you had in college exams or so. These are often sculpted out to check your ability to put them effectively into writing. As for me, I am a freelance writer so it wasn’t much of a thing for me. Work on it by reading English newspapers and practicing questions from old papers. Develop a smooth flow in writing – MUST!

If any more questions, feel free to ask. Thanks! Best of luck and pray for my interview please – much appreciated!
