what would you say about the topper of CSS 2014 ? She got flunked this time. Means she is inept not FPSC , right , thats your perception ?

Both are responsible. She might not have performed the way she performed in CE14. It doesn't mean that FPSC is paragon of virtue. FPSC too have shortcomings and those are fatal.

My bro is quite happy with his performance. This was his first attempt with only 3 months preparation.

Can i get some guidance regarding my next attempt? (Though i never thoight of taking the second chance) *sigh*

Yes, thanks for reminding. What does that thread prove anyway? Is username "Aik Admi" an authority on IELTS vs CSS? IELTS and Cambridge University has much more credibility than FPSC.

By the way, I was sarcastic regarding Shakespeare failing CSS's English essay, I hope you didn't take it literally!

Let me tell you what I think, brother
I don't intend to curse/malign FPSC for anything at this moment, especially when I have personally failed to qualify. "Angoor khattay hain" is usually the first thing that comes to mind when a failed candidate voices opinions about result. Nevertheless, I am leaving my personal experience here for you and those who are capable of objectively interpreting it, to derive benefit for themselves.

I have 70 marks in Précis paper. I got 3 MCQs wrong. I made sentences when the question demanded that the meanings of the given pairs of words be "explained" (I attempted in haste, without reading the question, assuming that the usual "make sentences" would be there in the statement). This takes 7 marks out. I only made 3 correct sentences out of the idioms/proverbs. This takes 9 marks out. In the sentence/paragraph corrections, I knew I would not be awarded more than 6/10. All of this adds up to 14. Technically speaking, I acquired 70/86 marks in this paper.

Now, I am not trying to promote any half-baked notions here. But does it make any sense to any of you? This is what I think: the examiner just read my précis and awarded 70/100. He didn't bother himself with the other questions. I had heard that they do this sometimes, from a senior retired professor. I wasn't sure of it then. But now, my own experience confirms this.

Secondly, the generosity shown in the précis this time was shown to the essay in 2014. This is quite clear from the DMCs here. Keeping that in mind, 2016 aspirants should prepare themselves exceptionally well for both essay and précis exam. If FPSC decide to target any one of them, at least YOU shouldn't give them any reason to fail you. And in the end, your fate would be the decisive factor

Brother how did you prepare for English? Did you consult some sources or just practice past papers?

And could you confirm if precis is a general summary of the passage to ideally one-third of the passage length? or do we have to write it down in the order it is given skipping extra superfluous details?
