Start from the Life Trends of Arab People in Jahiliya and after that move to different genres (Poetry, Prose) of Arabic Literature in Jahiliya.... means to say start from period of Jahiliya

And there is no doubt in it that Arabic is among some of the highest scoring subjects... It's average score is round about 120 and with a little bit more effort you may cross the verge of 150+ marks.

Yep it's not that much tough and you don't need to go in deep of basics of Arabic and technicalities as 75% papers is in Urdu/English. And Arabic Grammar can be learnt without a teacher but if u feel any difficulty go to youtube and search for Arabic Grammar tutorials....
