According to the number of words specified in the question, two sets of lines and columns (meaning two grids) should be drawn first.
Each line and column has to be numbered accordingly.
Only one word is to be written in each box as has been shown to you.
After the grids are ready, the headings ‘Rough Précis’ and ‘Fair Précis’ should be written above each grid.
While completing the Rough Précis, words may exceed the number specified in the question. E.g. If you are asked to write a précis in not more than 60 words, the rough précis may exceed the number to 65 or 68.
Keeping the question in mind. Choose the points needed for your answer from the passage. Details not asked should be left out.

1. To write an effective précis, read the passage several times for a full understanding.
2. Note key points. It may, in fact, be helpful to underline these words.
3. Do not use abbreviations or contractions. Do not quote examples or figures.
4. When writing about the past, use the past tense.
5. Use indirect speech. Never quote dialogues.
6. Only commas and full-stops are allowed. No other punctuation mark has to be used. These marks will be put in the cell of the preceding word.
