Pakistan Day and Our Responsibilities (By: Ayesha Manzoor)

In the history of Pakistan, March 23 has a special significance. On this momentous day, in 1940, the historic resolution of Muslim ideological state was passed in Lahore. 100,000 people attended it from subcontinent of India. Through this historic gathering, the Muslim of subcontinent gave a message to the world and to the British and Hindu particularly that they are competent enough to create a separate homeland for themselves. Thus, Pakistan day reminds us the struggle of our fore fathers faced to attain a separate homeland for us.

CSS Preparation TIPS For Beginners | CSS Study Tips Series

Before talking about the CSS study tips and schedule, I hope you all have selected your subjects (the optional subjects). If not done so far, you can go back to the article How to select optional subjects for CSS.

Managing a schedule and making a time table is a tough task. There is a lot of talk about how much time one should allocate daily. So, to answer this, I would like to say it totally depends on your abilities. And by this, it means the total time you can allocate to your studies according to your own assessment of your abilities. For instance, some people can absorb a piece of information in a short time while it takes longer for some other people. Specifically talking about me, I allocated 4-6 fixed hours first. And then I increased the time, according to the needs of my subjects. (Here I would like to remind you that I started my preparation late in August, so it means you have plenty of time till your exams if you start right now.)

Where to start?

Now, a question will already be in your mind “but where to start the study from?”

My journey of preparing for and taking CSS Exams

Taking any kind of exam is not an easy task. Whether it is at school level, university or any other professional exam. It is totally the game of nerves in my point of view. I chose to take CSS exams in 2018, in order to pursue my career as a civil servant of Pakistan (and now waiting for the result which would hopefully be announced in October 2018). In this article, I will tell you about my journey from the preparation to the final exams of CSS and I hope this post will be helpful for CSS aspirants. 

Let me introduce myself first. I am Ayesha Manzoor, a graduate in Business Administration, and a mother of two. The decision of taking the CSS exams was difficult for me because I had all the responsibilities of my family and have two toddlers to take care of. But I was able to appear because of the continuous support and encouragement from my husband and my parents. The support of my family was like a light in the dark for me.
