hello![]()
i had to ask is it better to give the exams altogether in one session or in parts as 3 subjects in november and 5 in june??
most probably im going to take cie exams in november 2012 inshAllah of pakistan studies, islamiyat and urdu.
can anyone please help me with how much time it took you guys to prepare for these 3 subjects? i just need an experienced person to tell me this.
and whether i should study from past papers or only the book?
The subject part its up to you but most of the best schools of A levels say that u give at least 7 subs in one go so decide accordingly !
For the preparation well it depends on how u prepare if u are a type of a person who can sit easily with one subject for 3 to 4 hours at a stretch without any problems then you can easily finish it in about 3 months or about 3.5 months otherwise if you are not like this and u suffer the concentration problem like most then it may be greater then 3 months but definitely it will take 3 months (and more) for doing everything (past papers,book reading and Ers) .
For me it took me about 4 months to prepare for these three subs but in between i had tonnes of school exams like everyone so u can say most of the day went to waste like this and definitely this was a reason i got only an A in Pak studies
For studying from Past Papers only i would say that you have so much time at the moment and using this way of preparing is only suited when times up
Now i know i said so many things here but this is just an advice and up to you to decide if u want to go by it or distill it and use it
