Here are some tips from me for studying Pakistan Studies and Islamiyat which could be
helpful
I got A* in Pakistan Studies and A in Islamiyat
Islamiyat
You probably think islamiyat is cramming and nothing else. Well buddy you re wrong. Its cramming+understanding. So here are some basic tips for getting an A* in islamiyat
1) Firstly, increase your writing speed. It might sound tough but its beneficial. The exam of islamiyat is 1 hr, 30 min and you have to write as quickly as possible. Therefore to increase your writing speed, you should practice questions in the time limit. Time division is essential. 10-13min for Q1,almost 22-25 minutes for the rest 4 questions. This ll leave you 5 to 7 minutes for rechecking. Practice especially 10 markers in 16 to 18 minutes via stopwatch
2) Read from as many sources as you can (if you have much time) or if you don't, read from Yasim Malik and/or Mustafa Draper. You can also read from the best isl notes of Muzzamil Mehmood

3) Learn as much quotations as possible. Examiners give a higher grade to those answers which have more references. The best of learning references is by writing and repeatedly reading
4)For Q1 of both papers, ratta is unnecessarily except the quotation. You get the answer from the passage on both a and b parts. Also dont use "should" in b part as it gives bad impression on the examiner. Use alternative words like "Ought to,must, required to" The answer is created from the passage e.g in Surah Ikhlas " He begets not, nor is born". Meaning no physical relations with anyone and no son and father.
5)For 10 marker, you need to write as much as you remember about that event/article/pillar etc. Reference must be provided and you must give the required detail. Muzzamil notes have all the necessary details( write in own words)
6) For 4 marker, your evaluation skills are discussed so no ratta. You may or may not provide references. You have evaluate why something is imp to Muslims etc. The answer is deduced from your mind. e.g could Quran be the only source of guidance if there was no hadith. You can say that if hadith was not there, the Quran would be misunderstood as many verses required commentary. IThe haidhh also provided laws which the quran did not fully speak about e.g Zakat. Etc
7)Do all the syllbus and dont depend upon guess papers. You can never rely upon them as if you do and no question comes, boy you are screwed.
8)Once you have done the syllabus, go through past papers

8)Read every question very carefully, CAIEs can trick students. Read the questions vert carefully for the 1st minute and decide which ones to do
9)Lastly believe in yourself Also Dua. Islamiyat is easy but it still requires hardwork and practice. So give it your all and IA youll achieve and A*

ak studies and Islamiyat) and last 2-3 months while the test sessions cost 15000. In the crash course, they give you notes and complete the whole syllabus in 3 months. In the test session which is preparation for O/N and M/J, you are given answers to past papers and also important questions and exam tips. 3-4 days before the exam , a workshop is conducted by the teachers in which guess papers and last day tips are told. It usually costs PKR 1000.
