In the recent past papers, FPSC gives a good idea of how varied the questions can be. The past paper of 2024 covered martial poetry by Khushal Khan Khattak, the humour of Ghani Khan, and the prose of Bayazid Ansari and Akhund Darweza. Translation and Pashtunwali were also included in the paper. So don’t spend all your time memorizing poetry. Read the prose, understand the characteristics of each writer, and practice translating passages into clear English.
