CSS 2023: Tips to crack for Pakistan Affairs and


Current Affairs Papers

Written by Waqas Rafique (46th CTP, PSP)

···

First thing you have to do is to read the statement of the question you are going to
attempt again and again. Try to pick the essence of what examiner has asked and then
answer accordingly. Candidates, in a hurry to answer the question, often do not get
the central point of the question. As a result, they fail to produce a relevant answer.
Read a question three times, at least, and then answer it. Never forget that the pattern
of your answer must, in sequence, be: introduction, content body and conclusion. Try
to give maximum headings in the content part. Try to avoid a single-word heading.
Make it self-explanatory. For example, while answering the question ‘Why Pakistan is
facing economic instability’, you may give a heading in the following ways:

1. Poor Law and Order Situation


2. Poor Law and Order Situation, the main culprit in hindering the Foreign
Investment to Pakistan

···

Choose the second one, because it is more explanatory. The examiner will have an
idea of your argument from this heading. This will save him from reading your content
as he has already gotten the gist of your argument. Further, his eyes will catch any
important highlighted fact you have written below your heading. This will facilitate him

a lot; surely, to your benefit.
E-mail us!

In introductory paragraph, present a brief history of the issue being discussed


and relate it to the current scenario asked in the question. It should not be more

than half a page.


Current Affairs and Pakistan Affairs papers are all about your analysis. Give
maximum of that. The more your analysis, the more marks guaranteed. Your
analysis should, obviously, be supported by authentic facts and figures.
You should highlight your facts and figures by underlining them with a pointer
so that examiner may come to know about supporting data for your arguments.
Try to add quotations, flowcharts or diagrams in your answers; however, avoid
inserting any unnecessary flowchart or diagram.
The conclusion is often neglected by the candidates and as a result they suffer a
lot. So, your conclusion should be comprehensive. Try to give way forward of
the issue you are writing on. Do have an optimistic approach in your
conclusion.
In other words, it should be a happy ending of your answer. You can add a
quotation as well.
Do not adopt extremist approach in your answers. Be the moderate one. Yes,
you may criticize institutions, but be balanced while doing so.
