This list is comprehensive and includes various concepts critical for exams like CSS. It is often said that DAWN is the Bible for CSS exam preparation. If you’re considering appearing for competitive exams but neglecting to read a newspaper, you’re making a significant mistake. Now is the time to start reading newspapers daily, especially DAWN, and regularly focusing on its editorials and opinion sections.
Additionally, pay special attention to the vocabulary we share daily. Based on my 8 years of experience, I have observed that FPSC frequently selects words for the precis paper directly from newspapers. It has often been noticed that words related to similar events have appeared in past CSS exams. Those who read the newspaper daily tend to store these words subconsciously, allowing them to recognize and use the correct words in the exam without needing to rely on external sources for vocabulary building.
