Check Your English Level Before Starting CSS & PMS Preparation! The Standardized English Test for CSS and PMS Aspirants by Sir Syed Kazim Ali
About Standardized English Test for CSS and PMS
The role of English written communication skills in the CSS and PMS preparation and qualifying for these examinations is critically crucial. Learning typical grammar from books such as Wren & Martin, etc., usually does not help aspirants learn to communicate with the examiners because typical grammar has nothing to do with the CSS and PMS examinations. However, writing and qualifying for the essay paper demands aspirants crack the topic, write the thesis statement, build a relevant outline, craft a concise and to-the-point introduction, and write arguments with appropriate evidence in the body paragraphs to make their examiners agree with their point of view. And all this can only be possible if aspirants know their level of English. Contrary to this fact, almost 99% of aspirants join academies or English coaches without judging their level of English. Consequently, they never understand how to give their ideas and thought words relevantly, fluently, and grammatically correct and, ultimately, fail their essays.
Remember, there are three types of competitive aspirants. The first type of them are those aspirants whose level of English is already good enough and do not need any teacher. Instead, they need just a guideline about what and how to do it. Second, there are those aspirants who even lack the basics of English. They are those aspirants who cannot even learn to give their thoughts words like their fellows unless they learn the basics first. Instead of revising the basics of English, they start believing that qualifying for the CSS and PMS is a hard nut to crack. The third category of aspirants are those with a good grip on Functional English but lack writing skills. These aspirants need expert English writing teachers rather than college-level teachers, qualifiers or officers.
Every time I open admission to an Extensive English Essay & Precis Course or a 2-Month Crash Course for CSS and PMS, thousands of aspirants start applying for admission without knowing their level of English skills. However, I always grant admission to a very limited number of aspirants who, at least, have a reasonable grip on functional English grammar. I do not grant admission to all aspirants because they lack the basics of the English language, and I know if they are granted admission, they will waste money. So, aspirants must know their English level before joining a teacher for their CSS and PMS preparation. If they do not consider this fact, they can easily get trapped by social media teachers, and you have already seen thousands of aspirants fail because of inept teachers who teach aspirants precis and essay papers within 10 to 30 days. Nevertheless, learning to communicate properly requires aspirants to give proper time, dedication, and a lot of practice.
