A* in PST. Advice from someone with 7A*1A.
- Don't use multiple/ cheap resources to prepare for the examination
- Don't rely on people's notes
- Use the textbook, it's there for a reason - deeply earn Nigel Kelly
- 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
- 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
- Use iftikhar Ul Haq topicals.
- 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
- 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.
- Don't miss out on past examples in geography about the developmental steps taken in Pakistan in a specific field
- Memorize the general atlas of Pakistan and the situation of that area and the industries/crops/cities there.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Don't rely on thresholds lol.
