1/5

Everyday Science: (80/100)

EDS from net (howstuffworks.com)+ Imtiaz Shahid Book + Akram Kashmiri +Encarta + Wikipedia.

In my opinion, consult howstuffworks.com its a good website for EDS in addition toconsulting your books also buy O level biology, chemistry and physics books

English Composition: (65/100)

I prepared vocabulary from GRE books and idioms from Collins Idioms Dictionary+net +Exploring English. I practiced few essays, paragraphs and prcis mainly frompast papers because I didnt have enough time. For prcis I just consulted exploringEnglish

In English composition paper, I attempted synonyms antonyms and active passive

first then I moved on to comprehension. My last question was prcis as it was quitetime demanding.

A good website for idioms is http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/ . Forsynonyms, antonyms and vocabulary this site is helpful (it has GRE vocabularylist):http://www.postech.ac.kr/~gla/gre/

For Essay paper I first wrote the outline then introduction then body and in the endconclusion. In outline I presented summary of the whole essay in point form. I gavequotations and cited paragraphs in my essay. Please give no headings orsubheadings in essay give them in outline of essay. Outline is necessary for a good

essay. I wrote my outline at the beginning of essay because I thought it would helpto organize my essay.

For essay I'd recommend you to choose an essay topic on the current affairs. I thinkthat choosing few topics for essay is a risky practice. Every year there are at least 2or 3 topics relating to current affairs in essay paper. Try to print out articles fromdifferent newspapers websites (Nation, Dawn, News and Daily times), file them andarrange them by topics. Then make a note on which topics articles are being writtenfrequently, those would be important.

Make an outline before writing your essay. Divide it into paragraphs and cite

quotations. For quotations you can try this website: www.brainyquote.com. Justmake sure that you write at least one essay in a week. That practice will enhanceyour writing skills and get your essay checked by a good teacher. Rememberpractice makes you perfect.

For current affairs I read Dawn + Nation + News + Current Affairs Digest +Newsweek + Times + Economist + World times (Jehangir book depot) +Contemporary Affairs by Imtiaz Shahid (read atleast 3 latest editions) + Khaleej

2/5

Times + Washington Post + New York times.

For current affairs read some good columnists for example in Dawn read TariqFatemi, Sultan Khan in Nation Shamshad Ali Khan in News Shirin Mazari ,AyazAmir,Farrukh Saleem in daily Times read Hasan Askari Rizvi and Ejaz Haider(u canfind these papers online)

I mostly read columns and editorials in a newspaper. I've found a great website forthose people who wants to read different columnists all in one place it is:http://www.pkcolumnist.com/

In Pak affairs I started with a quote then introductory paragraph + few more quotesthen flow chart or table(if any) then conclusion and critical analysis plus quote at theend. For objective you can buy any good objective book.

For Pak Affairs: I.H Qureshi book is good. You can memorize some paragraphs fromthere and book of Pak Affairs by Star book depot is also helpful. I also quoted fromsome other books in Quaid-e-Azam library Pak history section. Ikram Rabbani isanother book I'd recommend

Islamiat: (62/100)

I opted Islamiat in Urdu because it is more scoring and I quoted in Arabic. Theylengthy of my answer is about 4-7 pages.

For Islamiat there are many good books available in market. Try to read Islamicedition of various newspapers like Dawn and Nation.

Journalism: (73/100)

For journalism I consulted past papers and made a list of important topics. Anotherbook which I have found useful is journalism by Abid Tahami. Its very concise andEmporium's Journalism book is also good. Journalism is quite an easy subject toprepare. First make a list of all those questions that have been asked in previousCSS exams.In journalism all topics of Imtiaz Shahid book + Abid Tahami book +Mehdi Hassan book + past papers. I gave headings and sub headings and flow chartsand diagramsThen prepare your own notes, my suggestions for books are:

1.Mass communication by Imtiaz Shahid

2.Emporium Journalism book as well as objective3.Journalism by Abid Tahami4.I've forgotten the title of this book but Its written by Dr Mehdi Hassan

In paper, give headings and make flowcharts and diagrams.

3/5

History of Pakistan & India: (144/200)

1. I've read lot of books in Indo Pak history mainly from Quaid-e-Azam Public librarybut for general guidance 3 books are good:

1:K Ali2:Tariq Awan(by Feroze sons)3:Sohail Bhatti

But plz dont rely on them and make your own good notes. For making notes onBabar, I had to read Tuzk-e-Babri too

2: Use quotations of important Historian(you can find quotes even In K Ali)likeElphinstone in your question. The number of quotations depends upon memory and

availability. I gave an average of 5-6

3: In almost every question which I attempted I drew maps of subcontinent andindicated the relevant king's battles on that map.

4. Dont forget to write critical analysis at the end. Critical analysis in Indo-Pakshould be about half to one page long (a lot depends on the size of writing thecriterion I've mentioned is for medium sized).

5. For Indo-Pak history maps, I used book of Tariq Awan. Even K. Ali has given mapsof subcontinent during each king's era

6: I answered my questions with a pointer. U can find maps in K ALI just draw themroughly you dont need to be very accurate.

7: My marks in first paper of history are 75.Critical analysis fetch you good marksand it also shows that you possess a good analytical mind. You can also quote fromgood books in critical analysis

8. Well my approach was not different in Indo-Pak History and Pak Affairs.

9: As far as maps are concerned just draw them with pen or marker. I actuallycopied maps from K Ali and then indicated on maps where different battles werefought on map using pen

Constitutional Law: (61/100)

For Constitutional Law: I consulted books of Mazar ul Haq + Bhatti's How states areGoverened + VD Mahajan. Write in simple but effective language.


4/5

First prepare a list of previous questions. Try to up to date your constitution byvisiting wikipedia. Make headings ,quote some famous Jurists like Blackwell or Diceyand give references of some important cases like Marbury vs Madison

A good website for Pakistans Constitution is:http://www.pakistanconstitution-law.com/

I think wikipedia is best for updates regarding constitutions for example there aresome amendments in French constitution which are not found in other books. ForPakistans constitution consult Hamid khan's book, itll help you in understanding itshistory also

Urdu: (124/200)

1.First of all choose Urdu only if you are really good in it otherwise its not scoring

2.Read Adabi sections of different newspapers

3.Before attempting such questions in Urdu A( like comments on style of MushtaqYousafi) give a brief introduction of author and his/her works.

4. I also used quotations for example in the question (comments on style of MushtaqYousafi?) I gave quotation of Zameer Jafari, Mushtaq Yousafi Urdu ka Mangla damhain.

5. Buy MA Urdu master guide kits very relevant. Anwar Sadeed Urdu Adab kiThareekh is another good book

6.For Iqbal and Ghalib MA Urdu has separate books like Ghalib aur Iqbal get them

too

7.Try to memorize lot of Ashaars

8. For Tashreeh you can buy Bang-e-Dara ki tashreeh, Bal-e-Jibraeel ki tashreeh,Diwan-e-Ghalib ki tashreeh from Urdu Bazaar. Write relevant ashaars of good poetsin tashreeh.

9. The no of ashar depends on your memory. I wrote explanation of about 3-5 pagesand quoted 10 to 15 ashar. I have got a great interest in Urdu literature so I'vealready read all novels of CSS syllabus. I'll recommend you to go through all novels.Explanation should be (depending on your writing) 2-4 pages long. You should givebrief introduction of writer before hiting main material. I put 7-8 quotations of

different historian in every question.

9: For Urdu: Shakir Ali +Anwar Sadeed book + Saleem Akhtars bookAmjad Ali Shakir is better for Urdu.
