memorize quotations ............ specially of main topics like pillers,articles etc.Practise lots of past papers but dont go too far behind as syllabuses had been changing.in past papers see the marking schemes and understand from there what the examiners want in a specific question.FOLLOW THE SYLLABUS..............................instead of only following the books.LEARN THOSE THINGS MENTIONED IN SYLLABUS ONLY not EVERYTHING FROM BOOKS.regarding answers to past papers questions........make sure you mentioned the required points and then you can express in your own words.

HOPE THIS HELPS. :D

islamiat is a difficult subject to understand atleast for me.....so u shud hire a tutor....for references and syllabus notes ....read the best book "Practices and Beliefs" by yasmin malik....
DANGEROUS TIP!: As references are concerned ....(donot get angry) u can make them of thier own...but make sure u use good vocab of english and remember to quote "Agreed upon" in the end!
As for other tips ask me....

For islamiat follow syllabus and refer to good books.People vary in thoughts to which one is a better or best book for Olevels Islamiat.Yeah and memorize quotations and references as they are a way of gaining more marks.Make your own notes cuz one understands in which topic is he weak in and tries to improve it.
Go through marking schemes and examiners reports as they tell you what the examiner wants in the question and what are the requirements so that you can follow that.
