Guide and Tips-O Levels

[Jeed]

If you have a remote interest in it, go ahead and take it. Nothing out of the ordinary.

At O Levels, there's A LOT of choice in the World History paper. I think there are like 39 or 41 questions, the first one is compulsory and you have to do like 3-4 more from those. Loads and loads of choice.

If anyone wants an easy, easy A, Sociology, Environmental Management and Commerce are baby subjects which don't even require a teacher (I did them myself, just a book and me and started in mid-April of the exam session (i.e May). Got As and A*s in these despite the horrible prep. They are very, very easy. It's more general knowledge than science. Low GTs and loads of choice = A A A!

Can Sociology be done in 2 weeks? Alongwith past papers? Plz help. Ty.

I mean, I gave it on blind or so. I'm pretty sure you can ace it studying for it, even if it be just 2 weeks.

Past Papers? I didn't get the time to read up let alone do the past papers!

I read for p2 coming out of my Add Math exam.
I did study for P1 though. I think 2-3 days of reading and last day reading up on 2 marking schemes.
Would've easily gotten an A* if I had read up more for P2.

Those 2-3 days you spent reading. How many hours in total did you read?
And You are talking about the Ken Brown book right? or some notes?

Doesn't Sociology involve complicated questions and definitions?
How many chapters did you prepare?
And you didn't read the entire Ken Brown book? I mean, that book is huge.

I don't work hard, not at all.
But i can get an A, the same way as you.
How should i prepare Sociology, Environmental Management and Commerce?
I am talking about that last few days, super fast preparation to get A.
Not the 8 month long preparation that involves a lot of studying.

It would be really helpful if you would tell the material i should use for these three subjects.
And also, how much of each subject should i prepare and in what way.

Anything between 5 to 7 would be my pick.

I didn't use the Ken Browne book. I found it horribly mundane and monotonous. I used Stephen Moore's Sociology Alive which I feel is an excellently written book.
You don't have to read everything. You don't have to read even half the book. Go through the syllabus for Gods sake!

I did the same for EM. Commerce, I knew mostly. Didn't know the accounting half so left it. Only did Insurance. Read Haider Nadeems notes from Scribd before going for the exam.

Who studies 8 months for O levels?

There's no penalty for that but if you're not certain don't incorrectly quote Surah numbers. Leaves a negative impression. I, for one, didn't quote any Surah numbers, so yeah.

Thanks but like he was telling me that he wrote around 25 references in total and only tow reference numbers got wrong by mistaken although for one surah name was correct so that will too leave a negative impression? thanks for your help and secondly yesterday in Fatima RA i missed the point that she was known as zahra'the shining one' and that he favoured Ali to be the caliph how much marks the examiner is expected to deduct although i gave four quotations of Hadith for Fatima RA

Okay I don't know if you've read the OP of this thread, but I recall writing something along the lines of 'no negative marking in olevels'. You can only gain a mark, never lose one. Not in Islamiyat, not other theoretical subjects.

25 references? What did he answer in? References only? This many aren't needed. Don't let the need for references derail you into not explaining adequately enough!
For each paper, I think I wrote max 8-9 and all w/o numbers.

 

[AbbbbY]

For the missing part, it's not really an issue. They don't see what you DIDN'T write. They see what you DID write.

I really don't know what the questions were, but if you guys got a Q2 on God in Himself, then 20 or so do make sense bec themed Q2's do require a lot of references. At least that's what the case was back in my time.
