The English Essay paper eliminates more CSS candidates than any other. This book focuses on what examiners actually reward: a direct thesis, a logical outline and evidence-backed arguments in plain English.

It explains how to interpret a topic, build an outline in fifteen minutes and write paragraphs that each carry one argument. Forty model essays on topics from recent FPSC papers (governance, climate, education, foreign policy, gender and technology) are annotated with marginal comments.

A final chapter collects the FPSC examiners' reports on the essay paper and explains the recurring weaknesses they identify.

    Excellent guidance. Some model essays are long and hard to replicate in three hours.

    The annotated model essays are the closest thing to having a mentor mark your work.
