FPSC and other civil services examination commissions ask the aspirant to write down an essay that is:
- Comprehensive
- Clear
- Organized
- Relevant
- Effective
- That ensures the use of different forms of discourse e.g. exposition, argumentation, description, and narration.
- Usually, aspirants ignore these demands and just throw away their knowledge in the essay exam – the result is a failure.
To ensure your success, you need to learn these techniques; and Sir Syed Muhammad Hasnain has made all this easy, clear, and effective for you in the video course The Art of Essay and Precis Writing – New Edition.
