Naa, the struggle for Pakistan is a very important section and this time 4 questions are expected to come from section 1 and 2. So now what you have to do for history is that just do section 1 and 2 only. Give the book a thorough reading 2-3 times, and its going to be enough, its hardly going to take 3 hrs each time you read. But when attempting the paper read the question as many times you can, because at times questions are very tricky! This is it!
Just for an idea for the paper do this: http://www.xtremepapers.net/CIE/Cambridge O Levels/2059 - Pakistan Studies/2059_y10_sp_1.pdf

I don't understand!! Some say that Section 3 is important this year (Junaid Akhtar) and some say Section 1 and 2 are important. Still I have prepared for Section 1 and 2 only thoroughly and went through Section 3 just briefly...

Actually, the only way they're going to give you marks is if you demonstrate the assessment objectives. If you demonstrate more, they'll give you an A. Basically, use your time left learning the story and understanding the timeline, and a few dates. Just think hard during the exam and pretend you know what you're talking about. All you have to do is answer what the question is asking you. i.e. If they ask you why an event was unimportant, just dream up any bogus reason that fits and write it(make it convincing though). They WILL give you marks just so long as you seem to be demonstrating the assessment objectives.

Try yasmin malik for sources of law and ethics, but do the biography from farkhanda noor.
Good luck!

For Islamiat, the best book in my opinion is Farkhanda Noor Muhammad. When I looked at the marking schemes after preparing from the book, I found that the points were all the same in marking scheme

Balaj bhai.. quran and hidith carry only 8 marks.. so im not paying much attention to it..


I have calculated i can read all the material in farkhanda noor related to paper 1 in 4 hours theoretically .. so if read it twice ill b ready for the exam right?.. and maybe practice one or two past paperz

And about question one related to surahs can someone tell me which part of the farkhanda noor's explaination related to part (a) of the quetion.. i.e the THEME and which part of the explaination in farkhanda noor is part (b) of the first question?....

AND.. how many surahs can i leave not to study for choice?.. I checked out the JUNE and NOV 2009 papers.. all the 3 surahs given in each paper were from one section. .. does that means i can leave one section of surahs?.. And since the has syllabus change no surah is given from the first section in year 2009.. ' Allah himself' . Does dis hav more chances of coming tommorow?
