Hey guys. I'm taking my islamic studies and Pak studies IGCSEs in October. Since the exams are really close I was hoping for some help!
What are the topic that I should focus more in in these two subjects?
And
What should I do while revising?
I'm working for an A* or distinction (InshaAllah) so please give me some guidance as for what to do.
Other tips would be great too!!

Congrats on your high grades! Were the original papers harder, or the retakes? Thanks so much for the info it's really useful. Which books did you study from and how long did you study? Btw by '1st isl com' do u mean 1st Islamic community?? Idg what you mean by com.

Thanks :D

Well thats how opinions can differ :D...Dude questions from section 2 in both papers were a piece of cake for me alhamdulillah.I left section 3 and focused completely on sec 1 & 2.

Source: I scored A*s in both

Hey dude u are of gce or igcse?thr is a lot of debate about sec 3 but i saw a letter from cie that 3 questions from sec 3 can come any time so if u leave it u just screwed your wish of a good grade...i totally respect your opinion but to be on a safe side sec 3 must be done..cie due to this reason changed the pattern from 2015 as they know how clever pakis are and made one question cumpulsory which could come from any section...:-D
so at the end of the day choice is yours!!

I saw the distinction list of past years, they never award distinctions for Oct-Nov candidates, except for the Statistics ones.
They award distinctions to those who achieve high marks in Statistics, only.
No distinctions for other subjects.

https://www.xtremepapers.com/community/threads/query-about-world-rankings.28949/#post-650142

it is because statistics is only available in nov. and I think it is because, most students give exams in m/j session, I am not sure though.
