Paper II in APP Examination is Written exam i.e. descriptive. One has to answer all questions without leaving any choice.

The correction of written papers is tough and it is unlikely that the toppers in exam get more than 130 out of 200. So, In order to succeed in Exam, one has to be thorough with all the subjects and with all topics, then only he can score more than 100 in written exam.

The questions asked in Written paper are straight forward. For 10 marks question, one side of the paper i.e one page is provided and for 20 marks question, three pages are provided to answer it.

I will be posting the questions asked in previous APP Wriiten Exams i.e. Paper II.

All the best.
