Strategy to Pass Tests of PPSC

PPSC tests are generally divided into following parts.

1. Pakistan Affairs
2. General Knowledge and Current Affairs
3. Islamiat
4. Urdu
5. Mathematics
6. English Grammar
7. Job Related
Serial No. 14 are part of every test while Serial No. 57 are also part of some
tests. So there is a need to emphasize more on the first 4 fields. These fields
need cramming of events, dates etc. serial No. 4 and 5 requires practice and by
continuous practice one could master these fields. In this thread I am going to
suggest a strategy for each section according to my experience of PPSC tets. I
hope, this will be helpful for many candidates.
