Well, one thing you should keep in your mind that scoring good marks doesn't always depend on an individual subject, in majority of cases, it depends more on the candidate, the way s/he prepare, her/his style of attempt et al., Let me share my experience, I secured 79 in my last attempt and one of my acquaintances secured 82 (He is a serving CSP and was allocated a PMS slot too but he preferred the former). I've shared a thread regarding this subject on this forum.... Consult that, that may fetch you good marks. Good luck!

Here goes the thread: http://http://www.cssforum.com.pk/cs...er-ce2014.html

yeah I agree with what you say.I have interest in this subject because of its literature and it being my mother language and I know I am capable to prepair it well.I was just alarmed by the low scoring in css 2016 exam.We can,t deny the fact that sometimes one subject is given less marks for unknown reasons as it happened with Pashto in previous year and with many subjects this year.

Pushto is not included in those subjects as I found it to be an all weather subject. Respect!

Yes, CE-2017. I also opted it in KPK PMS 2018 and CE-2019.

i could not qualify the CSS 2019 but i got 75 Marks in pashto. and 67 in Muslim Law and Jurisprudence but Precise Paper got me down securing 21 marks only.It was my first attempt.

What was your strategy for Pashto and which books you consulted for preparing it?

Study strategy for Pashto subject was same as other subjects but I had my concentration more on writing Pashto and Preparing the questions my self I read more books besides the Famous "Pohana" By Sahar Katozai which almost all the aspirants study for Pashto Paper. The books which i studied are

"da Pukhto jabi ao adab Tareekh" by Prof Haneef Khalil

"Pashto Zuban or Adab ki Tareekh, Aik Khaaka" in Urdu by Haneef Khalil saab This book is very important for remembering all the Books of Pashto and their Authors.

"Da Rang ao Bo Qafila" by Dr. M.Iqbal Naseem Khattak about all the Poets and their Books
and

"Da Pukhto Classiki Shaaeri" by Haneef Khalil

One more thing I want to mention is that if someone has difficulty in understanding the Pashto words i.e That a word starts from"Ze" or "Zeem" Those aspirants must buy the book of Primary School from Class 1 to Class 7.It seem funny but it isn't at all.
The books I mentioned are Easily available in Every Shop in Markets.

For The Mataloona(Proverbs) You can get help from This Blog.I hope my words will be Helpful for all aspirants who selected Pashto Subject. Thanks
