PAKISTAN STUDIEs notes

[shahlakh]

OK then for example you didn't write the simplistic statement, instead you wrote the hijrat movement in details and then gave the most important reason and then wrote: " There were many other reasons also" so what will happen................................. I guess that the examiners don't see the pattern, they just see whether you have answered the question to the point or not.
Even if you disordered the answer they won't check this, they will only see your answer.

I think the simplistic statement carries like a single mark, so if you just start abruptly, you might lose that mark. If you write the hijrat movement in detail, and then the most important reason, it will work. Just make sure that Hijrat Movement, as it is in the question, should be written first, and then in detail. After writing the most important reason and other reasons(explaining them to some degree), then the judgement would be needed for which you will have to again refer to the most important reason. Hope it helps .

@Shahlakh You also have to write other reasons as well !! Listen brother !! 1-9 marks will be awarded for the Hijrat movement. 1-3 marks for other reasons for the failure of Khilafat movement and 1 mark for your opinion !! hope this clears up everything !!

 

[shahlakh]

Alchemist4lvf, so in the way I told you to write, can we score full 14 marks, even if we didn't mention the simplistic statement?
And thanks salman
Sorry if I am bothering you guys!!

 

[Silent Hunter]

well..........thanks alot all ov you..........( i wasnt supporting redspot) ............... SO THE FINAL OUTCOME IS THAT WE SHOULD REFER TO THE MARKING SCHEMES INSTEAD OF REDSPOT .... RIGHT?

 

[shahlakh]

can someone answer my question please? Thanks you

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

@Shahlakh I have been trying to answer your question but i think you can't get what i m trying to say.
@Silent hunter you should go for Marking Scheme !! right decision my friend ..

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

@Shahlak Will you appear this May/June for Pak-studies ?

 

[Alchemist4lyf]

shahlakh: I dont think exact 14, cuz i am not sure, but at least a single mark is for the simplistic statement. Meaning, dont start abruptly, and dont start with a whole paragraph of introduction.

As for the final outcome, the thing is, redspot is not all bad. I mean, they have got the facts, but not the style, as i said before. For concisely given facts, you can refer to redspot. As for the style, you should know by heart. As for the marking schemes, they show you what marks are allocated for what kind of answer, and briefly give you the answers, so BOOOYAKAA.

Lets take an Example here !! Q) Was migration to Afganistan the major cause of failure of Khilafat movement? Explain your answer {14} .
In this Question the marking scheme demands us to write more about Migration and Explain the cause in detail while the past paper of Redspot will start the answer with Abolition of Khilafat which is unacceptable in CIE !!

You are absolutely right dude=) I agree with you. I want to add something more to this.Redspot pastpapers for history are also not a source for studying the right way because the answers are given in points. the CIE board of examiners clearly say that if the answers,especially in the history paper are given in points they simply cut out the whole answer. I'm sure of what I'm talking about because i used to study answers from Redspot pastpapers too, but when I saw that they use the wrong pattern I stopped using them.
In general,I would say through my observations that Redspot pastpapers (the main publishers) only print answers which are very accurate for MCQ's i.e paper 1's for subjects like Physics,Chem,Bio and more...
Hope this helps=)

Dear Shalakh the answer demand first right about 16-18 lines on the reason they have give then they demand to right 3-4 lines in on 2 other reason or more u may know and opinion in the end...Salman is right and this pattern is followed in CIE u should for Ur confirmation check Marking schemes instead of asking us and proving us wrong.

 

[shahlakh]

HEY HEY HEY I am not trying to prove you wrong. I am just confused. Thats why I was asking you guys.
