there are two alternate websites which are great as well for viewing past papers:
1. maxpapers.com
2. papacambridge.com

Two things:
1. Even if your points do not match the mark scheme, you will be awarded if they are sensible.
2.For the six marks question we need to support one statement and give its advantages and then give disadvantages of the other to justify that the one we choose is the one we support. The mark scheme says: 'Two more elaborate statements that refer to both statements (A and B) in positive and/or negative ways while supporting one statement. So I think theres no need to explain adv. and disadv. of each statement.

Also does anyone have a list of places in Pakistan or something, to gain top level 4 we must include 'place specific' examples. That is the only thing stressing me out

AOA!
You can give examples like in the question of agricultural training facilities, you could mention about University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. And in any question in which you are saying that we should use local raw materials, you could give examples like limestone, clay etc as appropriate.
Also, in a renewable energy question, when you are discussing about wind power potential in Pakistan, you can give e.g of Thatta-Badin wind corridor.
Hope this helped you.
If you want examples for any specific questions, you can ask and I'll see if I can find any.

Wait what... advantages and disavantages both... :/ well my teacher told me Cambridge wants us to use are analysis skills... in that case YOU HAve to give advantages of both Statements ( JUST LIKE PART C OF HISTORY REMEMBER BOTH SIDES of answer) and that we have to chose ONe statement and try to prove why that statement is more important....

Proving a statement seems more valid when you compare dear

These are the 'thingies' which are used to determine at what marks is what grade... I will attach the grade thresholds for Oct/Nov 2014 of Islamiyat and Pak Studies, so you can see what it really is.
As for how it is actually calculated, that is a long story, but if you still want to know, ask away.

The grade thresholds or boundaries change every year... they depend on many factors like the difficulty of the paper compared to previous years papers, the percentile system etc.
According to what I have heard, there are two possible ways of percentile system:
1. The one who scores highest e.g 72, then those marks will be considered 100%, and the rest will be calculated out of that much e.g u got 64, so it will be calculated 64/72.
2. The marks are graded according to a percentile system... your marks are compared to others who did the exams, like if your marks are better than 85% of the candidates, you will get 85%; I think it's like it.
Personally, I think the second one is more convincing, as if according to first way, average marks of candidates is 50/100 (suppose), and if one 'genius' gets 90/100, so it would be unfair to others who will be scored 50/90, but actually the average was 50 . On the other hand, if second way is applied, then if avg. is 50 (and highest is 90), and somebody gets 60, so his marks will be compared to others: which will be very good , but the first way would have his marks being 60/90,which I do not think is fair.
These are not the only factors; the CIE also takes into account several other things as well.
And remember, there is no clear-cut way or method: this process is a complicated one which only CIE knows about properly.
