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

[Ahmed_890]

•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!😊

Hi, As per the format given in the past papers and the one taught by the school, I have the following information;

-For a 14 mark question total of 7 explanations are required.
- Successes and Failures shall be written in the ratio 4:3 or 3:4, 4 successes, 3 failures, and vice versa.
-Paragraphing is encouraged; ensures presentation and easier to read style. Explain each success and failure in a separate paragraph.
-Successes are written first and failures afterward.
-Evaluate the successes and failures; as of why is it a success or failures, describe the impact of the situation in general.
i.e. 1937 election made the Muslims realize that their support lied in areas where they were in a minority THIS LED the Muslims to realize that they need to carry out mass campaigning in minority areas to earn greater support.
i.e. Minorities agreement was signed between Nehru of India and Liaquat Ali Khan. It guaranteed the protection of religious minorities. THIS HELPED to slow down the tide of refugees.

*- However for questions relevant to early ministries i.e. Ayub khan, Zulfiqar, etc. (Pakistani governments till 1999), we were asked to evaluate the successes and failures of their policies side by side. i.e. in the same paragraph, particularly for Ayub and Zia.
- In this case, there will be 7 paragraphs accounting for 7 successes and failures described in one paragraph.

*This is the format I follow, only a recommendation and not a compulsion. Do get it verified from your subject teacher especially.

Why did Syed Ahmed Shaheed Barelvi have such a major influence on the revival of Islam in the sub-continent? [7]
