GENERAL TIPS FOR WRITING AN ANSWER 

Solving a paper of CSS Exam does not require ordinary techniques that one used to apply in school and university. While you are going to ink the answer sheet, sitting in CSS exam, you must understand two things viz: what is being asked? And what would be the proper answer? I think there are some of the general tips needed for better performance in the written portion of the CSS Exam. Here is the simplified scheme to solve any paper (Islamiat is also included).

1.    You have only first ten minutes to select the questions with rough idea.

2.    When u have selected the question (except compulsory) find out those four questions which can be best answered by you.

3.    Time for each question is almost 35 – 37½ minutes.

4.    The length of answer should be 6, 7 or 8.

5.    Mark the most prepared questions with more relevant material.

6.    Remember that you don't have to beat about the bust, read the sequence of the things asked in question and answer all the key words one by one.

7.    As it is highly important to write relevant material, therefore underline the main points of the question.

8.    Deeply analyze what the question is demanding i.e. Is it about to write reasons, effects, solution, your opinion or simply the information about the topic?

9.    Opening of an answer may be:

10. Write a short outline describing the main points with heading in 7–8 minutes.

11. Write an opening paragraph while the answering the main points of the question. This is called ―Exact & Direct Technique‖.

12. Then develop each paragraph describing the relevant material.

13. Use of language should be convincing, concise and correct.

14. Your answer should include facts and figures, arguments, examples, references and quotations.

15. Try to use different mode for attempting Question; avoid typical style from introduction to conclusion.

16. Conclusion must contain repetition of main points.

17. Always use blue ink pen and keep ink remover with you so you have one chance to undo to what you did. Remove all cuttings that give bad impressions. (Only blue, black pen and pencil is allowed in examination hall and strict instructions are given in the 1st page of answer sheet about using of color pens.)

18. Both MCQ‘s sheet and answer sheet is given at the same time, so its better to do MCQ‘s quick in order to save time for the last question, which you will attempt in the end of paper.

19. Do not use generic and journalistic terms for every subject, rather use specialised terminologies of the same subject.

20. Most importantly, we don't focus on expression while attempting question which is a must for good score.
