A* in PST. Advice from someone with 7A*1A.

  1. Don't use multiple/ cheap resources to prepare for the examination
  2. Don't rely on people's notes
  3. Use the textbook, it's there for a reason - deeply earn Nigel Kelly
  4. Use topicals and mark schemes to see what the question demands and what the examiner demands from you - especially in history and 6m Geo Questions
  5. A VERY UNDER-RATED resource is the Examiner Report - use that in any case for each paper - it's available for all the papers after 2014 on the web
  6. Use iftikhar Ul Haq topicals.
  7. Make sure that you don't leave out the small stuff, the 4 mark questions can make a lot of difference, 4x3= boom! 12 marks for free right there
  8. Make sure in any case that in those 6 markers in geography, you are providing at least 2 reasons in support to the statement you're promoting with EXAMPLES. And also, counter arguments for the same statement. For the statement you're degrading, make sure you have 2 statements with examples too prove your point as well.
  9. Don't miss out on past examples in geography about the developmental steps taken in Pakistan in a specific field
  10. Memorize the general atlas of Pakistan and the situation of that area and the industries/crops/cities there.
  11. Explore the subject, don't take this is a burden. Watch videos on the battles held, learn facts, explore and dive deeper, the examiner will always prefer you over a normal rote learner without any sense
  12. Get used to time In 2059/01 = 30 minutes for q1. That means, 10 minutes for a+b part. 7 for the c part. And 13 for the d part. 25 each for q2 and q3. And 10 minutes for the overview. That translates to 3 minutes for part a. 07 minutes for part b. And 15 minutes for part c.
  13. Leave at least 10 minutes for each 6 marker in Geo exam. Analyze the question, construct arguments and then answer the question. Leave it if you don't have enough knowledge and answer the next one.
  14. Don't rely on thresholds lol.
