Moreover, you are physically exhausted after writing for twelve hours daily for two days. your hand just gives up on you! You barely have time to recuperate daily let alone revise things your memorized for each subject.

So please those who think this was an easy paper - be reminded of the general conditions for the CSS examinations. Nothing is designed to be an easy task in this exam.

I think the fact still remains that the paper was difficult - it was a battle of nerves, it was a battle of physical strength and under those conditions it was a battle of your ability to regurgitate everything you invested your entire year on in just three hours.

i know i didnt know more than half of the mcqs, which is very unfortunate. They could have been a scoring advantage. Hence my question to forum members is about the scoring ability on the analaytical questions - since such little time is available to organize your knowledge about a topic with the relevance of the question, it is impossible to conjure up references down to the dots and tees. any comments on the marking schemes for these questions?

also i really need a lot of prayers for this attempt and this paper. this is my second attempt and i really don't feel confident. So i request that everyone just please pray for me too. This is a make or break moment in my life. May ALLAH help me and others through this time.

Please do ask your teacher which tafseer. I will be very thabkful when you finally let me know.
