I went through the past papers n i found 3 books which i felt relevant and can give u best marks
1: Introduction to logic by Irving M. Copi and Carl Cohen for paper 1
2: philosophy made simple by Richard H. Popkin, PhD and Avrum Stroll, PhD( only Contemporary Philosophy part of book)
and History of Muslim Philosophy both volumes
for paper 2
i can give u list of 12 questions if u prepare these both papers are done....
for paper 1
i: Logic and kinds of logic(with special reference to Aristotelian logic & Induction, Deduction, Argument, Statement, Definition, Truth and Validity)
ii: fallacy
iii: Symbolic Logic
iv: Probability in Logic

for paper 2

i: Idealism(Hegel, Berkeley and others)
ii: Dialectical Idealism & Materialism(Hegel's dialectics and Marx's dialectic)
iii: Existentialism
iv: Positivism
v: Pragmatism
vi: Iqbal's Philosophy & Sir Syed.
vii: Al-Farabi's Philosophy
vii: Ethics(A.J. Ayer's, Imannual Kant and others
short notes also come from these topics specially from isms

these are most important topics to be prepared well for better marks according to best of my knowledge.
Logic is base
ethics and other isms are extensions of philosophy
one should consult History of Muslim Philosophy both volumes for less chances of being faint during the paper so do consult History of Muslim Philosophy it will support u.....

Best of Luck....
Thanks to my Philosophy Teacher Brig.(R) Prof. Dr Ehsan ur Rehman who introduced philosophy to me n i found its so easy n people feel fear of it
thanks i would like to get some more info frm u give me ur email id
