The CSS exam is tough but once the preparation is good, nobody can stop a person from getting a dream government job. The first thing that one needs to do is become more acquainted with the syllabus that is issued by the official authorities; the syllabus comprises all the subjects that will be covered during the examination. Make sure to also consult the CSS recommended books list produced by the FPSC, the people who setup and administer the exam. These books are like having a guru write a manual tailored to assist you in passing the CSS. The good news is that most of these recommended books are available freely on this page in the PDF format. Books with topics ‘How to Write Great Essays’, ‘High School English Grammar and Composition’; help with fundamental knowledge of writing and communication, which is valuable when preparing for the exam. But pay attention to the fact, it is not enough to have those books. But if get to brilliance level, you are to study carefully, that is, concentrate on your material. Do not complete the material in haste but, rather, seize your time to comprehend the outlined concepts and write notes comprehensibly; reviewing the discovered information is critical. So, with determination to study hard and make a good CSS examination strategy, then you will be well prepared to face the exam when it comes.
