Pakistan studies/history help!

[MojoJojo]

I wanted to know whether introductory paragraphs matter in history questions?
AND
Like that question of Allama Iqbal and Chaudary Rehmat ali
Its something like; Were the contributions of Allama Iqbal more important than the contibutions of Chaudary Rehmat ali?
Can you give me sample answer or some guidelines
AND also do i HAVE to include Allama Iqbals works like; Bang-e-dara and explain why they were important?

long intro paras r jst waste of time. u need to explain 3 points in 7 mak question n abt 5 points in 14 mark with conclusion. u may start ur answer with something like 'firstly/secondly/ one of the reason for... etc. Though writing a single introductory sentenc in 14 mark is not really bad.
in the question u asked, u have to EXPLAIN the IMPORTANCE of contributions/works of both leaders. If questions specifies their contribution towards pakistan movemnt, u ll only focus on their work which was related to pak momnt in some way.. n do not waste time in describing or giving long details abt the personal life of leaders.. u just have to explain the importance of their works n give a brief conclusion at the end stating whose contribution was more important n y..
hope it helped

So a 14 mark question should include:
Introduction (optional)
5-6 points explained that will give 5-6 paragraphs
Conclusion and Justification
Now i get the conclusion part but I don't know about justification :C Any help?

you r rite.. as 4 the justification, u jst have 2 tell how u came to tht conclusion. for example, if u say allama iqbal's work was more important. along with that tell y? was it that he worked more thn ch.rehmat ali? or his contribution had a greater impact due 2 sum reason? keep in mind conclusion n justification shuld nt b more thn 2-4 lines max.

But in a 14 mark question, we are suppose to write only the conclusion, no?

yes, we have to write conclusion only but keep in mind that conclusion is not a simple statement answering the question. you have to give the reason for your conclusion. that makes it complete, proper conclusion..

Ahan. So we need to justify the conclusion with an example or something?

THANKS alot but wait a sec some acadamy kids have been saying that if your first point in a 7mark Question is correct and explained/ analysed you achieve 5 marks straight away, and you get 1 mark for the other two points that you write. What do you say about that? is it that way or not?

thts level marking.. i m not very sure if that is true bt i also came across somthing similar. Bt wht i think is tht is applicable. as stated in marking scheme for level 3 (5-7 marks) for explaining reasons. So in my opinion, tht is rite bt it is EXPLAINING reasons. jst stating or describing thm ll nt give u gud score.

but i'm still not clear about this though :/ I mean it just somehow or the other sounds like a riddle to understand level marking. I'm not sure i still get this. Would it be possible if you could explain a bit?

jst understand tht level marking is the scale grading of 'QUALITY' of ur answer. the better u explain, higher score u can get. However, better explainations does not always mean lenghty answers. Talking abt 7 mark question, If you explain ur reasons, u can get score in range 5-7 marks. Similarly, just stating or describing reasons will lower ur score. So for higher scofres in 14 n 7 mark questions, EXPLAIN ur reasons. 3 reasons for 7 marks n abt 5 reasons for 14 marks + conclusion. Stay to the point, relevant, avoid long intro n descriptions, focus on telling HOW a particulr reason lead to the event referred in the question and you can score the max.

The biggest mistake anyone can make in History is ''describe''!
In a 7 and 14 marker, you need to explain...FOR EXAMPLE:
WHY WAS BENGAL PARTITIONED?
suppose I write: The province was too big and the population was high
notice, I havent ''explained''
This will be a much better point: The province was too big and the population was high, thus administration was difficult, hence, Bengal was partitioned to improve administrative efficiency.
