English paper:

1. Essay, précis, translation (the first 3 questions) were very easy.
2. Rest was fine. The vocabulary was a much easier as compared to 2002 paper. There were no analogies.

I gave the title to the précis as “Evolution of Horse”. My précis was of 58 words, out of total 160 words passage.

GK
The questions in GK paper were more of specific knowledge than general knowledge. A great proportion was of EDS part was assigned to inventions and discoverers. Geography included only the Geography of Pakistan & of Sindh, not the World Geography. Not a single question was asked about capitals, currencies, UN agencies, world records, etc. I am sure about 32 questions. Rest all were guesses!

I wasted a lot of time in studding the world records & world geography

There were hardly a few questions related to Current Affairs

A few questions had all incorrect option. For example,
Planet with most satellite: Saturn (no option available)
Heart of Quran: Surah Yaseen (no option available)

So, I wrote these options as (E) option & encircled it.

Some of the questions were teasers for the candiadates. I was litteraly laughing at following question:

Q) The great poet of Sindh Hazrat Sachal Sarmat in a specific Sur refereed to a buffalo. What was the origin of that buffalo specie?
A) Badin district
B) Nawabshah district
C) Larh district

So, think

Hazrat Sachal Sarmat >>>> poetry >>>> buffalo >>>> its forefathers >>>> district of origin

Isn’t it simple man!!!

Some of the correctly answered question that I remember:

1. Pasteurization invented by: Louis paster
2. Muslim League founding address by: Nawab Wiqar - ul - Mulk
3. The second largest glacier: Baltoro
4. Most abundant iron reservoir at: Kala Bagh
5. Gathering on Arafat during Hajj is made on: 9th Zil HAjj
6. Tarbela Dam was completed in 1974
7. Surah called "Heart of Quaran": Yaseen
8. Planet greatest number of moons: Satrun
9. Panama canal opened in: 1914
10. Panama canal connects: Pacific & Atlantic Oceans
11. 1960 Indus water treaty arbitrator name was: Raymond Lafferty
12. Pak conducted nuclear tests on: 28th May 1998

I want to know that:

1. We have to pass both the papers or aggregate will be taken of the two papers?

2. What is the passing percentage?

3. When is the result expected?

Waiting for someone knowledgeable person to answer these questions

SPSC is one of the examination conducting agency, which has been part to the lapeses since its start. it does not guide the candidates properly to prepare themselves for the exam.
1. As the papers of Mukhtiarkar are observed, the candidates who are preparing themselves for the CSS also confused, looking at the second paper because it contained such quarries which were not found under the study of candidates.
