Forget number of hours as they vary from person to person and subject to subject. I could not study more than an hour in one sitting when learning something new. But spend as much time as you can on revising whatever is covered. My philosophy is to take command of the subject and simply stick to the basics. No fancy tricks and no overuse of headings, quotations, diagrams, stats etc. Such things waste time and creates confusion. Always use simple English with clear handwriting. Never use fancy words.

For the MCQs, past papers are always helpful but if you want to score well in the objective part then reading the whole syllabus (at least once) is must. No need to go for mcq specific books. Finally, always attempt Islamiat in English if you are confused whether to take it in Urdu or English. Urdu only if you are 100% confident. To share my experience, I prepared Islamiat in Urdu for about a month but when I saw the paper I decided to attempt in English. My decision was right.

I have an average of 10 for all these subjects objectives. I guess the luckiest fellow would have an avg of 14. They were very tough. I would suggest you focus on the 80 marks subjective portion and exact the maximum from there. You can easily make up for a loss of 5-8 marks in objectives through the 4 subjective questions.

@hunain
If u prepare theoretical portion well..that is..from 2 books atleast/subject..then objectives will be prepared for automatically..Do the theoretical portion in detail and depth..plus VERY IMPORTANT..Do the objectives of last 10 year papers of every subject..I kept on telling this to my students at KIPS..atleast 5,6 objectives get repeated from last 10 yr paperz..In journlism this tym,nearly 15 got repeated..Other than that there is no way u can prepare for objectives..In my opinion atleast..Its lyk running after shadows Im afraid..

My averafe in objectives of these subjects wud be....umm..12..perhaps in islamiat I got 14 rite..

@fromQAU..
what about your result??

@topic starter...
Time per subject varies from person to person. So, in my best suggestion, don't go for indulging yourself in such discussions and keep concentrating on your preparation

Cheers,

Thank you for the guidance Hamza, so you got about 12 correct in all these subjects just from reading the whole syllabus? May I ask what you read for C.A and it's objectives?

@ Saad Qaisrani - I agree, we have to try and get max from the subjective portion, still, what do you think, how did you manage to get 10 correct in all these papers? What helped?

well if u talk abt me,, seriously i have studied three hours per day aur mushkil sy at regular intervals,, means k 3 hours b pory nahi parta tha,, its Allah's blessings, Maan ji ki prayers and special attention of my murshid.. He said to me once that u should do Jabbar (struggle) on urself and then wait with Sabar(patience).. thats what i did but its just 3 horus a day i have studied.

My friend, some of them i knew because of my overall good general knowledge. Others i MESSED UP because of my too good general knowledge. Finally i'd say about 2-3 per paper were simply ''tukkas''.

Just follow the guidelines as given by hamza salik. All that he said is perfectly correct.

Again just as i said, most people have an average of only 10-14 per objectives. Multiply it by 10 and the difference between the better and the lower average student is hardly 20-30 marks. These one can easily cover through 40 subjective questions, in 10 total subjects even if one scores only 1 mark extra per question.

For any more specific details you could mail me at my address given in my profile.
