Pakistan Studies, Islamiyat and Urdu: Post your doubts here!

Mussab ul haq · Jan 8, 2021

So you can easily secure 20 marks in it. Does this mean that having mediocre translation is normal? Also, this is like a reaccuring thing right? the 40 marks? Also, if i just attempt the recent 3 year questions, is it actually possible to get a* in History? Also for Islamiyat, can you give me some pointers on what to base my question on? I usually just try to jam all the related information that I have and add a little extra info if they are somehow related and just write 2-3 references atleast for a 10 mark question while 1 reference is enough for a 4 mark.

•For history, I prefer read and write's topical past papers with mark scheme. Basically, all the main pointers have been laid out which makes it really easy for you to chalk out a cohesive plan on how to tackle the question confidently. Also you can look up source based questions for paper 1 as they are crucial, too.
• For Geography, I would recommend you read the whole book and make pointers. Well, if you are running out of time, I recommend you to buy Mrs. Talat Rizvi's topical past papers with solved key points. It basically gives you an insight on how to answer the question. Moreover, I'd suggest you buy topical solved past papers and solve them using the key points. Keep an elaborating stance while answering them.
Do get them checked by your teacher or tutor as they can better guide you.
• For Islamiyat I suggest you to use Iftikhar-Ul-Haq's book merged with Mastering O'Level Islamiyat. (I don't know if that's available in markets, you can find it in pdf form on the Internet!) Also, memorize ample references and quotations as you'll need them to prove the points you raise.
Remember to take breaks while studying so you don't stress yourself out!
Good luck!
