You must go for it as it is highly scoring subject. Reading and writing is not a big problem as it is a matter of few days. Just take this book and start practising writing and reading. Pashto Adab Zar by Hanif Khalil.

I should remind you that the same was problem with me. the first Pushto paper i took was that of Provincial civil service in which i scored 81 out of 100. Most of Pashto speaking people are not able to read and write it. Learning Pashto writing and reading is not a big deal for a Pashto speaking person. We know already many idioms and proverbs of our language and structure as well. With little difficulty you can cover this subject. You can get help of another person who can guide you how to write and read. I advise you to buy Pashto Book Pohanna - best book of CSS and start your operation of learning Pashto. It is very scoring subject and secondly you will get aware of our literature, legends, heroes, customs and traditions. Regards,

Go through the whole book. It helps in the MCQs when you go through the history of Poets and the works of literature written in earlier ages. Do read the idioms and their translations and read it in general along with the past five years papers given at the end of it. That should help you in it. Ideally You should be a native speaker of the language and then you should practice writing it because the script uses extra characters not found in URDU or Arabic script. These have been introduced to cater to the multi dialects in vogue across the Pahstun Belt. A consesnus was reached in amalgamating The Yousafzai dialect and Kandhari Dialect in writing as well as putting the southern dialects understanding into it. Thats why the different ways of writing it. However dont rely solely on this book. Take it as the starting point. If you are at Peshawar go to the Pashto Department at Univ of Peshawar and seek some guidance. IF you are somewhere else, try to find any person who teaches the subject at college level. That should help you. IF you dont or cant find someone like that, Read this Forum for notes on Pashto. While they are in English and you may need to translate them to Pahto for Preparation, it is still better than nothing at all. Hope that helps in your answer. Regards Vsvsr

Another best book for Pashto is PASHTO ADAB ZAR by hanif khalil you can find solved questions of past papers here and also you can find MCQs of past papers i have studied it and also in Pohana you can find MCQs.
