for p2, u need to write valid points and develope them where required. Use ms for sample points and redspot for seeing how to develop answer.
For history, use ms for points. For developemnt of points, u have 2 explain 3points for 7 and about 7 for 14 mark. Link each reason back to question. In this way u explain a reason. Example:
Why urdu became national language?
One of the reason for Urdu becoming national language was it being a uniting force among muslims. It united muslims against hindus in 1867, 'hindi-urdu contraversory'. Also muslim league declared its policy to protect this language. So it was obvious that such a language would be choosen.
Similarly explain 2 more reasons.

For Geography: you should think on your own and try to develop answers with taking the help of the book. After that check through the marking scheme what were the extra points you added and what you missed out. Make sure what you missed out from the ms you should include that in your answer.

For History: 7 marks requires 3 reasons for the issue mentioned. For e.g: What were the reasons for decline of the Mughal Empire? Here you should mention any three reasons which you think were important. Like you can mention inefficient administration, weak successors and the arrival of British.
14 marks mostly depends on the type of the question. If the examiner is asking about an event whether it was successful or unsuccessful the you have to mention about the event and give an analysis. If he is asking about the failure of an event, again you have to explain all the reasons for its failure. If he has given a time period, suppose of 10 years then all the events taking place in that period have to be mentioned and the conclusion has to be linked with the question. For e.g the question is: Was the Cripps Mission in 1942 the most important factor during the 1940's that led to the partition of subcontinent in 1947? Give reasons for your answer.
So here you will mention the events taking palce from 1940 to 1947 and in the conclusion you are going to state whatever you think was important factor leading to partition, which obviously was Lahore Resolution.

Hope it helped!!!!
I am also giving CIE for Pak.Studies & Islamiyat. So, lets hope for the best

Also don't use REDSPOT for History or Islamiyat. It is useless as the answers are too much brief with less content
For Geography you can use this book which I found on XPF
