Update Regarding Screning Test For CSS 2013 Aspirants

Series of meetings b/w Establishment Division and FPSC are being held.Next meeting is on 12th July regarding screening test.Lets see how many meetings will be conducted and when will it be decided either screening test is going to be held or not.In my view,there is 50 50 chances about conduction of screening test.
So there is piece of advice for CSS aspirants that continue their preparation and devise a plan to complete objective and subjective part of compulsory subjects before September 15 and do not pay any attention to rumors all around and wait for official announcement.

Brother you should concentrate on the preparation of compulsory subjects, it will help you in both screening test and written exam. I don't think that there is huge difference between preparation of mcqs and subjective, so don't pay any heed to rumors, concentrate on the preparation of compulsory subjects excluding essay.

I endorse the decision of conducting screening test because that will improve paper checking quality.

Paper checking quality ??

do you mean assessment trend of css ?

are you not satisfied with the current assessment ?

Obviously, all the candidates who don't qualify the written exam are not not satisfied with the assessment trend of CSS. I am also not satisfied so far, at least till result of written exam CSS-2013.

true sir.. its really a case. failed candidates always shoot blames on assessors. this is where they hide their incompetence and seek relief....

but optimistic viewpoint suggests them to overcome their loopholes and reorganize with modified and strengthened course of preparation for next attempt..

[B][I]Dear aspirants, don't worry regarding screening test.
we should prepare mandatory subjects instead of dragging ourselves in screening test.

exactly my strategy is same i am preparing for compulsory subjects without worrying about screening test.

I have taken my first attempt and awaiting result. Yes, I have seen so many DMG's here even toppers who have pathetic English grammar skills yet they manage to fetch high marks. ST is a good proposal to filter out crammers.

Kindly cast a glance at the published syllabus for screening test.
English portion vocabulary
Everyday science factual knowledge
Mathematics (algebira (formulas) )
General knowledge current affairs who is who what is what type of knowledge
etc..
And it is based entirely on MCQs pattern.

This is truly a best chance for crammers to get through.

I endorse your view point. See, those targeted would get furious over this:D



[QUOTE=pureapak;623462]This is truly a best chance for crammers to get through.[/QUOTE]

Dear, passing criteria is not yet clear. That will decide the number of candidates who would appear in the subsequent written exams. Many a members have said or referred that the passing marks are 33%, well with this criteria and the syllabus the idea of screening test is just a trash for the planners. I believe it won't be so. Time will tell this so let’s not pass ghost guesses and let’s stop saying or suggesting anything on this process. Let’s focus on what needs to be focused.

[COLOR="Blue"][B]There is obviously no doubt about that. The stress in our education system is on English, competitive exams are no exception and fate of many people is decided on the touchstone of the two English subjects i-e Essay and Composition. I am sorry to say even that criteria is flawed, the people with extra ordinary prowess at English language fail and those with pathetic skills in English get allocated in coveted groups. That's why i have no faith in these competitive exams as these do not evaluate the candidate accurately, so i am highly skeptic about their validity. These exams are mere arenas of luck and chance.[/B][/COLOR]

Brother.this is not a fair evaluation.We should not blame the examiners for our own mistakes.Had CSS been a matter of luck only,people would not have spent years of hardwork to qualify it.

in my opinion, so for luck is concerned, we people do unjust to ourself, by inviting our inner lions to the comfort zones.
Luck works, after we do our best by hard work.

[QUOTE=Mutu;624300]Brother.this is not a fair evaluation.We should not blame the examiners for our own mistakes.Had CSS been a matter of luck only,people would not have spent years of hardwork to qualify it.[/QUOTE]

[COLOR="blue"][B]Dear first of all nothing in this world is 100%. I neither said nor i meant that CSS is by chance only, i think i have little insight to know that it is not a ludo game where you cast a dice and keep fingers crossed about the number that you desire.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][B]But does it really mean that those with exceptional adroitness at English language will never fail? and Those with pathetic English language skills will never pass it? Logic says that if the English papers really test the skills of candidates accurately then above mentioned consequences must always be true.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"][B] But i have empirical evidence to corroborate my claims that these two papers do not have neither reliability nor validity. I know many people who are that bad at English that you get awe struck at their success in CSS, if it had been average i would not have pointed it out, but believe me they are really bad at it, while on the other hand there are some people who fail in either or both of the two papers i-e Essay and Composition. This tells that these are not Valid. Further one person who is first time successful but next time fail it or vice versa, it puts a question mark on their reliability.

Brother nothing succeeds like success, those who are successful have every right to boast on their success and we have every reason to believe on them because success is the ultimate judge but certainly not the just one.[/B][/COLOR]

we have drifted away.this thread was created to share any updates regarding screening test ,so if any member has any authentic news or info regarding this kindly share

Probe into Screening
 

hey friends. . . . Anyone have fresh news regardidng screening test???
I have visited the official site of FPSC bt still nothing is present there. . As per their schedule registration was to be started on 15th July. . . Is there any delay in the process??

There is no official notification yet,but fpsc have to decide before 15 th so everything will be clear within 24 hours.Just wait :waiting

Authentic Suggestions needed
 

Suppose we went through the Screening Test and passed it in 2013, but we dont want to appear in CE 2014. Does it mean we have lost 1 chance of CSS?
Does appearing in screening test only (not the CSS exam) means we have used 1 chance of appearing in CSS?


Regards.

Dear Gillani. . . . Appearing in screening does not amount to utilize one chance of compititive exam. So be chilling and enjoy screening.:D

Screening test

[B]css guru css screening test by Jahangir's world times . is the best book for preparation one thing i would suggest you dont be pedant pertaining to screening test no doubt it is predicament for aspirants but we have to triumph over it . so go through it and hit your target .

stay blessed ...... [/B]

if u r a competitive person then no need to worry
 

dear all, there is no need to worry about any test announced by fpsc.... the fact is that a competitive person need not to worry about any test.... i am an engineer from uet lahore...i have seen so much non-serious candidates in css...real crammers... with poor academic record...i wounder how a person who has secured 2nd division in fsc be able to clear css???.... its prejudice with those who have excellent academic record....and regarding screening test..all crammers are worried as they would have left with less time to cram marks rewarding subjects....i suggest screening of academic record also so that only deserving candidates can be rewarded.....

well a 200 mark mcq based exam is much more easier for a crammer than a 1200 mark exam having theoretical questions requiring knowledge and analytical skills moreover..from medical to engineering every field requires to some extent cramming so no one can say he is not a crammer
if some one has talent eh can shine in a millions, poor academic record doesn't mean you take away someone's right to excel by hard work.here on this forum students from all backgrounds and educational fields visit in quest of chasing their dream such remarks can surely create a negative impact

unfair
 

there should be no such trend as of scoring and non scoring subjects.....marks should be awarded on the basis of student's thorough study..... a person who finds it difficult to secure 70 percent marks in FSC, can get an allocation just be selection scoring subjects.....only if he avoids failure in essay with a touch of luck... so civil service should be nourished with competitive people..... with the current trend its more about luck than hard-work which is unfair.....
i gave my first attempt in 2012 and failed precise.... interestingly, a friend of mine came to me just 2 days before the precise paper and i told him the basic pattern to attempt precise....he was pass in 2012 attempt and i was not able to pass precise with 1 year preparation...and friend of mine cleared precise with 2 days preparation........ if the system is perfect then either he is a genius or i am a stupid....

Dear waqar with all respect I would refute your logic of "topper isbetter than a second division holder" because all of us know our examination system,which are more or less based on rote learning.if divisions were to be the sole criteria than there's no need to hold even CSS or any aptitude test.some people get serious about their career once they enter in professional world.

Secondly,you said That you failed in précis.well to be honest I'm not surprised.though I'm not good at english either but your post clearly depicts your lack of command over the language perhaps it's not the exam which is flawed.lets not play blame game shall we
Good luck for your attempt

For screening test, CSS attempt will not be counted, even you qualify the screening test and not appear in CSS exam...

Recent Update regarding Screening Test

Meeting of secretaries has been held on July 12 but minutes of meeting have not been released.No one knows what was discussed or decided there.As per my sources,Establishment Division is not in favor of conducting screening test this year and wants to cancel it so most probably it is going to be cancelled BUT IT IS NOT AUTHENTIC YET.It has not been decided up till now.
So just wait till Monday or Tuesday,situation will be more clear I.A or there are chances of notification from FPSC either it is going to be held or not.Continue your studies until further orders.I know it is inconvenient for CSS aspirants but you people have to go on.Remember in prayers.

Regards.

I feel your evaluation is biased and you, in your heart, have a element of hatered for those who are not 1st divionor throughout their academic carrier.If a topper does't quailify css but a 2nd division fsc does,there is no way left with us except to appriciate him.even if he is a crammer,we will have to praise his efforts he will have made while planning and managing subjects.He will have,obviously,given more time to scoring subjects and enough time to subjects that fetch low marks.
what would we say about a person who was not deserving,but he, with his sincere efforts,dedication,planning and management braught himself in the list of richly deserved ones.Unfortunatly we label him "lucky" one instead patting him.
I am not getting personal but i was not expecting such a pessimestic views from an educated person like you.moreover screening test will be lot easier for those who are habitual of cramming.they will simply buy books and will cramm thousands of msqs.i am afraid this test will be a real test of capabities of those who didnot know the art of cramming and just rely on their general abilities.

my dear.... why is it so that few subjects are scoring and few are not ???? everyone should be rewarded on the basis of his hard-work....i mean why history is not scoring and persian is scoring ???? so many aspirants get allocation just becz they select scoring subjects...and many hard-working aspirants fail due to poor subject selection.... every subject must be rewarded on the basis on quality material written by the students....

Hello sir drvalentino. What are the updates regarding screening test? today is the first day for the online application. :?

[QUOTE=SAMEYA AROOJ;624650]Which are the best notes out of the three ; Ilmi notes ,Caravan and Dogar Publishers as far as the screening test is concerned..[/QUOTE]

Jahangir world times and carvan is better as compare to other,so many mistakes are found in dogar publisher books like you see 2008 css current affair paper of dogar as a example you find so many mistakes in their current affair book.so better to you carvan or jahangir books.regards

Latest Update
 

I have called one of my friends employed in Fpsc just now.according to him FPSC is opening online registration for screening test today as per instruction of Chairman.However establishment division will finally decide weather ST will be conducting this year or not.Uptill now Fpsc has not recieved any approvel/disapprovel in this regard from establishment division.
So we will have to wait further and its getting more embaressing now.

ST In Limbo. . . .
 

I agree with Shah as we have only option to wait for the further orders from FPSC. . .
