Best of Luck to All. Paper is quite easy and interesting and also need some analytical skills to solve. Those who studied this subject conceptually probably will got higher marks.

What was included in objective??

I don't start my studies for CE-2017 but i can solve this paper, most of the questions are easy.
Great Motivation

Tough at the Start(general part) and Easy from the bottom(Science and Analytic part)

Calculators
 

So, how many centers suddenly received a call from Chairman FPSC, allowing calculators 10 minutes into the paper?

At my centre, Calculators were used all the time.. No calls

No calculators at my centre. I think FPSC should annihilate itself over its epic nonsenses. Many English mistakes in English paper. Misprints all around. And I don't know if there is anything like Medium...I treated it as Median. By the way, was Stats included?

Nope!
There was no stats in syllabus. But the examiner loved it.
Question 12(b) is completely wrong. There's X everywhere.
I'm done with FPSC's incompetence

When I read the first question of mean ,median and mode,than my heart palpitated for a moment that Oh my god what will happen if examiner also includes [B]theorem[/B] as well; though,it was easy.Thanks God,it was just a momentary feeling!

I guess the rules clearly mentioned that calculators were not allowed. Anyway, I think it is highly unfair to allow a bunch of people to save precious minutes and reduce chances of error by using calculator. It is a C-O-M-P-E-T-I-T-I-V-E exam for the love of God - and CSS for that matter.

I complained, in writing, to the Chairman.

What was your answer for Q12(b) then?

To be fair, I thought I'd do the same when I heard using calculators were allowed. But as I went through the paper, I realized there was absolutely nowhere a calculator would've helped D:

yes this question was wrong. instead of putting V or Z he put X again.
1 quetions ov percentage in mcqs portion was also wrong.
options were 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5.
but the correct option was 24 which was not present in options

An eyeroll.
There's just no way to do this without proper conditions.
I did attempt it though.

The closest answer was 22.5.

30% of 22.5 = 6.75
22.5 + 6.75 = 29.25

And since calculators weren't allowed, I simply rounded it off in my head and it was close to 30 D:

in statment it was 25%.
so 22.5 is not correct.

Share Mcqs
 

Anyone here who can share Mcqs of of General science and ability.

the question said that the profit was in Sale. means 25% of 30. so 22.5 was the right option!

What about 11 (a) iii ?

And what about that Disturbance objective. I don't think the answer was anywhere to be seen.

the answer for disturbance was "s".
Though it disturbed a lot :p

1/8 or 12.5%

I thought they would give questions from the mental ability portion to be solved not explain what are the scales of mental ability :@ and there were supposed to be no MCQs from ability portion according to FPSC website.

What about time management? did you manage to solve all the question in a given time frame?..

It was an essay paper but they infact asked us to solve 16 questions and there were more than 16 aspects to be adressed as some questions had two topics in it. Anyhow, this is competitive examination and we have to prove our competence!

Calculators were not allowed at my center & for me, it wasn't easy to solve 20 MCQs in 30 minutes as some of the questions needed rough work. Hard luck, I couldn't solve more than 12 MCQs until the papers was snatched :/
FPSC doesn't even give enough time to think about the question.

[QUOTE=mazhar mehmood;913428]What about time management? did you manage to solve all the question in a given time frame?..[/QUOTE]
In General Science, Yes!
Objective was simple too both times
I have a good writing speed. But in current affairs, I just wanted to sleep and go home.
It was a lengthier exam. I had to shorten my last answer. But still it went fine

With a calculator anybody could have had solved that exam. It wasn't allowed on any centre. Paper wasn't difficult and, Alhamdolillah, I did it verbally - literally.

Yes, the paper was easy. But non scientific calculators should be allowed. Using calculator only saves precious time. One can't pass a paper through calculator when one doesn't know the answer. So it's utter illogical to not let use it. We are not the students of KG class.

There was one such calculation, 20 square minus 12 square whole under root. 16, it was.

The universe has a total distance of 17.7 billion light years. Some star is 17.3 billion light years away. If it is eliminated/extinguished today, when will we see it?

If 3P+q=14 and P+2Q=12
What is P?

But the unit with answer was wrong. It had to be years, not light years.
