Dear Brother, I came to read your posts through this very thread. Here in this thread, suggestions have solely been requested from your good self. As far as I kept on moving ahead in reading the suggestions and pieces of advice from you to aspirants, I was getting to be of the view that the way you were having while guiding others was really simple, totally well wishing, to the point, concise yet getting-to-the-best track to success.
Brother with due respect, I want your suggestion and guidance. I'm not sure whether you've come across this recruitment method of FPSC or not, there is an exam conducted by FPSC for BS-16 and 17 wherein candidates are required to attempt a paper of 100 MCQs.
There are 5 to 6 portions of paper that originate from Pak Studies, Islamic Studies, Grammar Stucture and Vocabulary (Eng Portion in short), Every Day Science and Mathematics.
As you can guess that there is not anything subjective in such kind of papers and one has to rely upon cramming facts and figures pertaining to the particular syllabus.
I know people who score 99 marks and do so pretty easily. What I want to have your logical, constructive, to-the-point and well-balanced view for is how come one remember facts and figures at such a huge scale.
If yes, and definitely so as people score great every year, please suggest a logical path to preparation for such exams along with names of proper books to consult.

Awaiting curiously,
regards,

Thank you a looot for this undue respect brother.. i am just speechless

and yes i have attempted such type of FPSC's tests for BPS-17,

Brother, checkout the book "General Ability Test, FPSC, 50 model papers solved" by Nishan Publishers. You will definitely find it helpful inshaAllah

And for such tests you don't need any technique or trick..
1. you just have to memorize more and more facts and GK without their details + vocabulary.
2. after you are done with all this, you wold have to rely on TUKKA-TECHNOLOGY
3. then, prayers

the passing criteria is very different in these tests, they shortlist only the top guys depending upon the vacancies. for example, if there are 10 seats, they will only call around 30 top scorers irrespective of the marks of other candidates. So, luck factor plays a vital role.
so, grab more and more prayers of others in your favour + remember Allah at all times
i have attempted this test 3 times, but they never called me,
however i got allocated in CSS by attempting only once. see, the luck factor

hope this would help

For further queries, contact me on my Facebook id, given in my profile, for timely replies. thanks

Thank you brother, It was a favour. This respect wasn't of undue sort as I had already been bent on getting advice from you based on the sufficiency and depth of your replies to others thereby resolving the issues.
Brother I agree that cramming facts is the major part of the preparation of such exams and actually I've done so to qualify some PCS MCQ exams. But as to confidently move to the next phase, the interview, there is required a grip on those facts as the interviewers mold and unfold the questions and try to check whether an effort has been made to understand the things or merely a superficial approach has been adopted by the candidate.
So brother, Isn't there a need to go into a little bit detail of the facts and figures especially that of every day science related things? If yes, please suggest comprehensive book /books for the purpose. I’m willing to prepare all compulsory subjects in detail so your suggestions regarding books of all the subjects therein will do for me better while I’ve already noted your earlier recommendation in my purchase list.
Regards,

My dear rain, you are partially right, but not completely.

First things first, dear, this test of yours have got potentially unlimited syllabus, so use your maximum time in cramming the facts, and not the details. because getting shortlisted in this test is really a herculean task. for next phase you will be having more than 3 months, as FPSC takes much time in shortlisting the candidates. once you get through it, then you may contact me again for the next phase. interview is not a big deal.
actually getting shortlisted in this test is itself a big success, so, FIRST THINGS FIRST

anything else?

Well dear bro, that's an excellent, pragmatic and presumably standard approach.
It gives me a new wave of confidence, I can feel it.
Yes there is another thing that I must take the opportunity to ask while you've offered me generously to do so. Brother how did you memorize all the facts and figures while preparing for your CSS examination as it is far more prodigious one?
There must be a fantastic approach of yours to this effect. Further, should I go for subjective competition exams like PMS where having analytical and creative writing skills is very crucial?
regards,

Dear rain, CSS is not about memorizing facts, its more about getting the concepts and then expressing them in a persuasive way..
i am not good at memorizing the facts that's why, as you see, i did not get through FPSC's 100 marks objective exams.

and yes, you should avail all subjective and objective exams while you still can. don't waste any such opportunity at least until you get allocated in any one.

okay

Lol the explanation was extra complementary. I bothered to know either you could link me to quick and easy webpage for the book you referred. We are on an electronic forum and i meant it electronically if it was possible. had you replied with 'No', it would have been much acceptable and more time saving. coz I knew rest the details. Your reply with sarcastic undertones was like a bitter pill to digest.. i therefore couldn't help but express how it made me feel like

yes, my single 'no' would have solved your purpose, but that might have seemed a bit rude.
that's why for my own sake, i cleared it to you irrespective of whether you knew that or not.
