New Pattern 1st SLST

Dear Readers,
Thia has been a long journey for this site, right from 2007 to 2016. Many old subscribers got help and got appointment in schools. This year we are going to see big changes in terms of pattern of the Question Paper. We will start anew. We have started a new site at http://wbsscenglish.com and all the materials have been shifted there. We will provide guidance and coaching from our new site and this old site as well. Be connected on Facebook through our page at https://www.facebook.com/wbsscenglishcom-591605811003949.
However, all may not need the guidance. So I would request the old subscribers who dont need it any longer to UNSUBSCRIBE from this site. You may invite your friends, forward the emails to your contacts and spread the word about it.
This time we will take legal action against the persons who will copy and use the materials for commercial purpose without written content.
Best wishes
