Dear Laiba,
In Western Philosophy, the following topics are expected:
1. Logical Positivism
2. Hegel and Marx
3. Pragmatism
You should also go through Phenomenology; a question on Sartre came last year. It's not expected to repeat this time but you never know.
Also you should have some knowledge about British Empiricism, Hume and Berkeley in particular and Henri Bergson (may come in Short Notes).
In Muslim Philosophy, the following topics are important:
1. Asharites and Mutazilites (V. Imp)
2. Ghazali and Ibn Rushd (V. Imp)
3. Ibn Sina (V. Imp)
4. Iqbal (V. Imp)
5. Sir Syed
6. Shah Waliullah
Also go through Ibn Khaldun.
As for the study strategy: one can prepare Paper I in 7-10 days.
For Paper II it depends on one's interest and learning curve in the subject. Do one topic per day and it can be done easily.
*Also prepare MCQs from the Past Papers. You can easily get 16-18 marks in MCQS alone!
For any guidance you may contact via email or Skype.
