It's been more than two years I have been preparing for CSS exam: However, I am going to share my both study plan and time table shortly....

Strategy:
Time duration 1-1.5 year:
I divided it into two portion...70+30% for compulsory and optional subjects respectively..

Portion I-----It needs 70% time to cover
a)Composition (unfortunately, I took it lightly and could not make through in this paper, but you need to do it on daily basis)
b)Essay
c)Islamiat
d)EDS

Portion II----It needs 30% time to cover
a)CA+PA
d)Geoi+II/-----in first attempt I opted Indopak though
c)Psyi+II
d)US History--in first attempt I opted Journalism though
e)Sindhi


More or less, my strategy was same in both of the attempts except I changed my optional subjects in the second attempt.

My Time Table:
------------------
I divided my time table into three portions and I used to study not less than 12 hours on daily basis.

Morning time:
-EDS+Composition and some times EDS+ISL

Noon time:
-Geo-i........(I was really fed due to this subject, it sucked my blood to cram and understand it but in the end of the year, I attempted it to the level of perfection and apart from EDS, it was the subject which gave me tough time in second attempt...
-US History

Evening time till late night
-Dawn reading
-Essay writing e.g I used to practice outlines only along with one expansion

It was a cycle, after completed Geo-I, US History and Islamiat, I took other optional subjects e.g Psy, Sindhi likewise and along with I used to attempt two questions on daily basis.

My achievements
-I prepared my own notes for all 12 subjects
-I practiced and attempted last 10+ years' questions except CA paper.
-I managed to attempt all the papers to the level of perfection in Exam..


My First attempt's marks:
Essay---53
Comp---29
EDS----78
CA-----33
PA------44
Islmt---72
Jour----29
indpki---71
indpkii--37
psyi----55
psyii---69
sindi---77

Total--589 except composition & journalism.


Unfortunately I could not make it in first attempt. However, I have taken my second attempt and it went quiet good and I am pretty sure that I would make through this year insh'alllah. Apart from that, I am going to take my last attempt that would be CE-15 Pray for me...

However, Mam is mostly not that much active in these days.

Thanks

To all members, I reiteratively said that I need feedback of my study plan. As mam/sir exclusively feedback explicit it very clearly that my study plan is not up to the mark for EDS. So,I shall not post anymore my EDs strategy if members are not satisfied with this study plan so its better to be my last post on this thread.


Best of luck to all aspirants, wish you all best of luck for your exams.
