Light, Sound, Magnetism: Guidebooks,
# Occasionally practice writing continuously on various topics. Increase your reading habits across different subjects. This will enhance the quality of your writing. There’s no need to memorize any answers. Rather, read repeatedly from various sources. Develop the habit of writing from concepts. No one becomes a cadre by writing everything perfectly. Everyone improvises while writing in the written exam. This is not an issue! Rather, learning to improvise properly is also an art.

BCS Written Examination Preparation Strategy: International Affairs
…………………………………………………………………………
Go ahead and buy 4-5 sets of international affairs guidebooks. Study the previous years’ questions very thoroughly and try to understand what types of questions appear most frequently. Some questions lose relevance with time. Eliminate those. While reading 4-5 newspapers online daily, observe which topics are more relevant to the current context. You can save these separately in a Word file. Prepare your own suggestions based on guidebook recommendations and various newspaper articles. Add or remove some questions from your suggestions at different times to prepare 4-5 sets of suggestions. Then read the questions according to your suggestions from guidebooks, reference books, and newspapers. It works best if you search for the topics on Google. If necessary, search by typing the topic names in Bangla. You’ll find answers to almost all international affairs questions on Google. Reading answers from Wikipedia, Banglapedia, and various organizations’ official websites will save time and also yield good marks. You can read necessary articles from daily and weekly international pages in newspapers, The Hindu, The Economist, Times of India, and various other international publications. Write down 15-20 names of people who write about various international issues in your diary. Write briefly next to them about what type of subjects each one writes about. This will be useful when giving quotations. Browse the internet and read analytical comments and critiques on various topics. Using them appropriately while answering questions will make your presentation beautiful. Using various maps, data, charts, tables, reviews, personal analysis, and their relevance in contemporary context will make your answer sheet stand out to the examiner. Questions won’t be that common. Therefore, improving reading habits is essential to do well in this section. There’s no need to memorize anything. Read repeatedly, marking important points. In the exam hall, improvise and write in your own way. Try to include at least one quotation, data, table, chart, or reference on every page. You can use blue ink for these sections. Good handwriting is fine, but it’s not a problem if it’s not—as long as it’s readable. You need to write very quickly in written exams. Practice writing 1 page every 3-5 minutes.
Now I’m discussing according to the syllabus.
Short Conceptual Notes: Make a list of what notes might appear by going through previous years’ questions, reference books, guidebooks, and newspapers. Then Google them and read them from the internet. Along with newspaper clippings, newspaper articles saved in Word files, guidebooks, and reference books. Adding your own analysis at the end of answers in this section will increase marks.
Analytical Questions: Write in as many points as possible, paragraph by paragraph. In this section, it’s better to answer questions worth 4+6+5=15 marks rather than one 15-mark question. The first and last paragraphs of the answer should be most attractive. Give plenty of quotations with blue ink. Explain any issue from different columnists’ perspectives and draw your own conclusions at the end. Include any comments or personal opinions if you have them.
Problem-Solving Questions: There will be some discussion about various international issues like development, security issues, trade, treaties, climate change, foreign aid, and other important contemporary issues, or some problem will be presented. Analyze it and write in point form what the solutions could be, considering various aspects, international analysts’ and your own opinions. There’s no alternative to reading newspapers regularly to do well in this.

BCS Written Examination Preparation Strategy: Bangla and English
…………………………………………………………………….
Let’s assume there are 2 more months left. BCS is all about the written examination game, which is completely under your control. Those whose preparation isn’t that strong, if they can study properly at home for an average of at least 15 hours daily for these 2 months, will definitely get the job! Those who are well-prepared, if they can study that amount, should be among the top 10 in the merit list for their preferred first cadre. Don’t waste time during this period reading worthless things. It’s not about hard work, but calculated work that matters. I’m sharing some thoughts about Bangla and English preparation in my own way—you apply these thoughts in your own manner.
Read the syllabus topics that were also in previous BCS exams well from previous questions. The better a candidate understands the question patterns, the better their preparation becomes. Create your own suggestions by looking at guidebook suggestions and understanding question patterns and relevance. Don’t follow anyone else’s suggestions. Then read those questions from several guides and references. There’s no time to take notes—read the answers from at least 4 guidebooks, marking repeatedly. I believe reading one extra guidebook is better than reading 5 reference books.
Read the grammar section from Bangla Bhashar Byakaron, Bhasha-Shiksha, Darpan, and guidebooks. Write the implicit meanings of proverbs in very simple language, appropriately.
You can look at idea expansion from Darpan and books by Bangladeshi and Kolkata writers. Write 20 relevant sentences in excellent structure, taking time and using examples and quotations.
Essence should be written in 2-3 simple, beautiful abstract sentences.
For questions about Bangla language and literature, read from guidebooks, Lal-Nil Dipabali, History of Bangla Literature—eliminating unnecessary parts from these books. Give quotations—marks will increase.
The most important part of the BCS examination is translation. No matter how difficult it is, don’t go to sleep without doing one Bangla to English and one English to Bangla translation daily from newspaper articles and editorials. This will also prepare you for some other sections. If you practice this section without cheating, you’ll get at least 70 marks more than your competitors.
For imaginary dialogue, get ideas about various topics from newspaper roundtable meeting minutes, talk shows, and guidebooks.
You can read letter writing from Bhasha-Shiksha and various guidebooks.
Learn about 40 well-known books for book reviews.
Prepare suggestions and read essays from the internet, guidebooks, and reference books. Prepare on any 3 patterns. Do this last, starting the conclusion 7 minutes before the exam ends. Give quotations, write more, write relevantly, get more marks.
For reading comprehension, read English newspaper editorials and articles extensively. Read the questions at least 3 times thoroughly before the passage. Underline the keywords or key phrases that the questions ask about. Then quickly read the passage to find where the answers are. Practicing this section following IELTS reading techniques works very well.
For grammar and usage, practice extensively from several guidebooks. Keep Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, Michael Swan’s Practical English Usage, Raymond Murphy’s English Grammar in Use, Barron’s Grammar, and some other authoritative books at hand. Develop the habit of searching for answers by going through these books—it will be very useful. To do well in English, you must fall in love with a ‘nari’—that ‘nari’ is the dictionary.
For summary, summarize newspaper editorials and articles daily. Read the passage thoroughly at least 5 times very quickly and mark where the main points are. Divide the entire passage into 6-7 parts and write each part in one simple sentence in your own way. That’s it—summary done!
To prepare for letter writing, read the Letter to the Editor section of newspapers daily, along with some guidebooks.
For essays, regularly keep track of explanations of Bangladesh’s constitution, various organizations’ official websites, Wikipedia, Banglapedia, National Web Portal, some national and international newspapers, etc. When answering questions, giving quotations from various writers’ works, newspaper columns and editorials, internet, various organizations’ official websites, relevant constitutional articles, and various references will increase marks. Use blue ink to write these sections. Writing essays without quotations is practically a sin!
Writing English in very simple language without spelling and grammar mistakes will definitely bring marks. You might hope that your Bangla answer sheet is like 10 others’ but you’ll get more marks—but the examiner doesn’t even imagine this. Less practice, more comfort, fewer marks, zero results—keep this in mind while preparing. Passing the written exam is as easy as getting the job is difficult. While studying daily, remember that studying 3 hours less than someone means their chances of getting the job are 3 times higher than yours. You’ll do a job for 30 years, and you can’t prepare for 2 months sleeping 4-5 hours daily to get it—how is that possible? Study, study with understanding, and study more. The better one’s reading habit, the better their writing style. People get jobs not through skills and intelligence, but through effort and competence. Super intelligence, super wisdom, super scholarship usually destroys all possibilities of getting a job. Understand less, speak less, read more—you’ll definitely get the job!

Good golf players keep two things in mind: One. The ball. Two. The hole. They strike the ball only after a firm imagination of the connection between the ball and the hole comes to mind. And average players think more about distance, the field environment around them, audience reactions—all these things.
Keep two things in mind for the BCS exam: One. Preparation strategy. Two. The job. The more you research about BCS, the worse your preparation will become. Keeping your dream in mind and working tremendously hard without caring about anything else, prepare yourself. You’ll see your roll number in the final gazette!
(At the request of ‘Prothom Alo’ and ‘Kaler Kantho’ newspapers, I had labored extensively to craft some writings on preparation strategies for the 35th and 36th BCS written examinations. I have gathered those writings in this note. The BCS exam syllabus and question patterns have changed considerably, and with them, the necessary preparation strategies have evolved as well. However, you will find little about these changes in this piece. You may read this keeping that in mind; better still, skip it altogether. I am saving this writing as a note on my personal wall not in the hope that it will benefit you, but for entirely personal reasons: infinite affection for one’s own creation, nothing more.)
BCS Written Examination Preparation Strategy: Bangla
…………………………………………………
The cut-off marks for the 35th BCS preliminary should not exceed 90. Those who think they will achieve this score should begin preparing for the written examination without waiting for results. Purchase all the guidebooks available in the market, along with some reference books. Invest in books—they will prove useful. Study various question patterns extensively. Prepare your own suggestions—at least 4-5 sets if possible. Try to include at least one quotation, data, table, chart, or reference on every page. Beautiful handwriting is good, but not essential. Written examinations require very rapid writing. Practice writing one page every 3-5 minutes. Before beginning written exam preparation, keep two things in mind. First: More important than deciding what to study for the BCS exam is deciding what not to study. Second: No need to memorize; think of it as an art to forget sixty percent of what you’ve learned completely and properly utilize the remaining forty percent.
I am trying to write about preparation strategies in light of the new syllabus. Today I write about Bangla.
Bangla Paper 1
Grammar: Study previous years’ questions, guidebooks, Class IX-X Bangla Grammar, Hayat Mamud’s Bhasha-Shiksha, Soumitra Shekhar’s Darpan according to syllabus topics. When writing the implicit meaning of proverbs and sayings in 6 sentences, write in simple language in your own style. No examples needed for this section. This part should not take more than 30 minutes to answer.
Amplification of Ideas: You can look at previous years’ questions, guidebooks, Soumitra Shekhar’s Darpan, and books by some writers from Bangladesh and Calcutta for this section. Write this in 20 highly relevant sentences. Take your time writing these 20 sentences. You can provide examples and quotations. Take 40 minutes; ensure that the structure of each sentence is excellent.
Summary: Write this in 2-3 simple, beautiful abstract sentences. It may take 20 minutes. It works very well to prepare suggestions for this section by taking notes from various books.
Questions on Bangla Language and Literature: Study previous years’ questions very thoroughly to get a clear idea about what types of questions are not asked. Then read selectively from guidebooks, Lal-Nil Dipabali, Mahbubul Alam’s History of Bangla Literature. You can answer this section last. Never write without quotations.
Bangla Paper 2:
Translation: This section is also in English Part-B. Total marks 15+25+25=65. Reviewing previous questions, you’ll see that very easy translations usually don’t appear in BCS exams. You can study this section differently. Regularly translate editorials from Prothom Alo, Ittefaq, The Daily Star, The Independent, The Financial Express, etc. The task is difficult but highly fruitful.
Imaginative Dialogue: You need to develop ideas about various contemporary issues. Keep your eyes on newspapers regularly (especially minutes of roundtable discussions), watch talk shows, practice writing in simple language in your own style on various topics from guidebooks.
Letter Writing: Looking at previous years’ question patterns, you can study from Hayat Mamud’s Bhasha-Shiksha and guidebooks. Prepare for the types of letters you feel comfortable writing. For instance, if you want to write personal letters, you must consider the language usage aspect. This section has separate marks allocated for writing format.
Book Review: It’s impossible to prepare for this section without deciding which books to read. I haven’t received any guidance on this yet. I’ll write about it later if I do.
Essay: When studying this section, you can prepare by correlating it with English essays and major questions from Bangladesh and International Affairs. Looking at previous years’ questions to understand what patterns of essays appear, prepare for any 3 patterns. Study from internet, guidebooks, reference books after preparing suggestions. Keep making points through mind-mapping and write as much as possible. Include plenty of quotations.

BCS Written Examination Preparation Strategy: English
……………………………………………………………….
Success in BCS examinations largely depends on four subjects—English, Mathematics, Science, and Bangla. Give special emphasis to these four subjects. Determine which segments candidates usually score low in but where high scores are possible, and try to prepare yourself well in those segments to enter the competition. Study short questions, notes, summaries, amplifications, translations, grammar, etc. thoroughly. There’s no special need to study by taking notes. You won’t have that much time. Instead, note which source you’re reading each question from. This will be useful during revision.
Today I’m writing about English for the written examination’s new syllabus. The fundamental principles for doing well in English are two: First, no spelling mistakes. Second, no grammatical mistakes. Keeping these two points in mind, write in very simple language—marks will come.
English Part-A
Reading Comprehension:
A) An unseen passage will be given. This might be on contemporary topics. Read English newspaper articles extensively, including editorials. This will also be useful for other subjects in the written exam. The simple trick for answering comprehension is to read the questions first, at least 3 times, without reading the passage first. Identify and underline the keyword or key phrase that the question is asking about. Then quickly read the passage to find where the answers are located. Keep one thing in mind: while reading the passage, don’t try to find meanings of difficult words or idioms. These are deliberately included to waste examinees’ time. Then answer the questions in your own way. Practicing this section using IELTS reading techniques works very well. Buy and start reading market reading books.
B) There will be questions on grammar and usage. Practice extensively from several guidebooks. Keep Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, Michael Swan’s Practical English Usage, Raymond Murphy’s English Grammar in Use, John Eastwood’s Oxford Practice Grammar, Nesfield’s Grammar four volumes, and several other authentic books at hand. Develop the habit of searching for answers by going through these books—it will be very useful. For instance, the word ‘entrust’ sometimes takes ‘to’ and sometimes ‘with’. Learning this through dictionary examples by writing will ensure you don’t forget.
Summary: A passage will be given. Read it thoroughly at least 5 times very quickly. Don’t be afraid of difficult words while reading. The main points are usually not in the difficult sections. Mark where the main points are. Divide the entire passage into 3-4 parts. Then write several sentences from each part into one sentence each. Don’t copy directly from the passage. Modify it a bit and write in your own way. Don’t give examples or quotations here. Good tip: don’t forget to give the summary a title at the beginning. For this section, practice summarizing newspaper editorials and articles regularly.
Letter: A passage or statement will be given. Based on that, you’ll need to write a letter to a newspaper editor about some issue. To prepare for this section, read the Letters to the Editor section of newspapers regularly, along with some guidebooks. The letter section has marks allocated for rules and regulations. The language of the letter should be very formal.
English Part-B
Essay: An essay of specified word count must be written. Keep regular track of explanations of Bangladesh’s constitution, official websites of various organizations, Wikipedia, Banglapedia, National Web Portal, some international newspapers, etc. When answering questions, quoting from various writers’ works, newspaper columns and editorials, internet, official websites of various organizations, relevant constitutional articles, and various references will increase marks. Use blue ink for writing these sections so they catch the examiner’s eye easily. Don’t even think of writing essays without quotations. Essays won’t be common, so prepare by making suggestions with this in mind. Practice writing non-stop on various topics in simple language in your own style. Try to rewrite newspaper editorials and various articles in simpler language.
Translation: I discussed this in the previous issue.

Those who have passed the preliminary, I believe, have already gained a very good understanding of previous years’ questions and the new syllabus for the written exam. Many have already started preparing suggestions. Having an idea about what types of questions appear, they’ve bought several sets of guidebooks and are browsing and reading them simultaneously. Reference books are also being consulted. They’re studying at home at least 8-10 hours daily. Those who must work are surely finding at least 4-5 hours at home after work to prepare. Plenty of practice with mathematics, grammar, translation, etc., burning the midnight oil ‘properly.’ When reading any question, they’re quickly reading and marking with at least 3-4 sets of guidebooks in front, searching the internet, reference books, and relevant textbooks. Newspapers and internet are now daily companions. Less time on Facebook. It’s about a job! A job you’ve decided to do comfortably for at least 30 years—surely you’re not so foolish as to not sacrifice eating and sleeping for 3 months to study for it!
I know you’re not doing most of what I wrote above. You’re sitting at home laying big eggs of fantasy. Occasionally running here and there, consoling yourself: “I’m studying like crazy!” An appearance of preparation, lack of actual preparation. Truly speaking, you’ll see colorful flowers in the exam hall. Taking written exams isn’t that easy. It’s true you can pass this exam because failing this exam is difficult. As a consolation prize for just passing, you can take the viva exam, nothing more. If you work properly and intelligently and can utilize it effectively, you’ll get the job as a proper reward for passing well.
Enough talk. Now discussing General Science and Technology for the written exam. For this section, first read previous years’ questions and suggested questions from guidebooks very thoroughly, taking sufficient time, several times. When preparing for science, don’t prepare based on whether you’re a science student or not. It’s better not to mix literary flights of fancy with science. If you can provide necessary identified diagrams, symbols, equations in this section, your answer sheet will be different from ten others. These things must be learned through writing. It’s better to answer 3 questions worth 4+3+3=10 marks than one question worth 10 marks.
Part-A: General Science
Light, Sound, Magnetism: Guidebooks,

Good handwriting is fine, but it’s not a problem if it’s not—as long as it’s readable. You need to write very quickly in written exams. Practice writing 1 page every 3-5 minutes.
Now I’m discussing according to the syllabus.
Short Conceptual Notes: Make a list of what notes might appear by going through previous years’ questions, reference books, guidebooks, and newspapers. Then Google them and read them from the internet. Along with newspaper clippings, newspaper articles saved in Word files, guidebooks, and reference books.

Analyze it and write in point form what the solutions could be, considering various aspects, international analysts’ and your own opinions. There’s no alternative to reading newspapers regularly to do well in this.
