If you have seen the apaper , the Paper II contains two questions of translation which can give more then 30/40 if prepared properly.
Then there are 40 mcqs. 40 mcqs ( collective of both papers ) keep on getting repeated . ( 30+ from these can be obtained with slight concentrated effort). If only past ten years paper's mcqs are solved , one can score round 30 + scores from the objective.
Then there are 30 marks short questions. 20 marks SQ in paper A and 10 marks SQ in paper B. They also can give maximum out of these if attempted correctly. For them preparing past papers SQ proves very very much helpful.
The rest of the paper consist of theoretical questions which is prepared from notes or books.
In this way , one can see that paper pattern is of such nature that if one can prepare this paper well , one has very bright prospects of getting good marks.

The time span you have mentioned is fairly sufficient for the praparation of this subject with ease.

Secondly , you have asked about notes or study material.
As well as the material for it's preparation is concerned , I relied on notes by Prof Hafiz Arshad Sahb , a popular name for Arabic in Lahore. Besides these notes , the reading of the book Taareekh e Adab e Arabi by Ahmad Hassan Zyat proves highly instrumental in the preparation of this subject.
Now some other books are also in market for Arabic. Earlier only those notes were consulted by all as there wasn't a single book in market till 2012.
Thirdly , you asked how to go for its preparation. I started the preparation from Translation Portion. And step by step proceeded ahead.
However , it is better to start from two ends. On one hand start preparing translation and on the other take a bird eye view reading of the whole reading material. From reading material I mean if you are using notes of Hafiz Arshad then those or otherwise whatever book you are consulting.

First just take a reading. As you finish reading , start preparing questions by question or topic by topic.
While doing this said reading on the sidelines satrt it's mcqs preparation and then its short questions. In this way everything would get prepared. At the end prepare the short essay.
This is how I went for the preparation of this subject in my previous attempt and scored 140.

Brother thank you for giving me reply in detail and excellent strategy you mentioned. As I told you in my post I am from Karachi so how can I get the notes of prof. Arshad does it available at market in Karachi or get through other source from Lahore.

Once professor Arshad sahib told us that if you are from punjab then opt it in urdu and if from other province then in English . Because for balochs and pashtons etc , it is easy to give paper in english . And about translation i think if i remembered accurately, he said it that we should prefer to translate in urdu . Other questions you can attempt in english .

Brother attempting in English or Urdu does not creat any difference. The thing is in Wichita language you can better present. I don't enjoy good Urdu handwriting and it is slow also therefore I felt it convenient to attempt the paper in English. Whiley roomate had very beqtiful Urdu handwriting and he had no speed issue as well. So he felt at ease while attempting in Urdu. I got 140 and he got 137. So you can see there was no substantial difference. Yes Translation questions we both attempted in Urde and everyone advises the same. In both papers of Arabic time management isn't much issue. Only the thing which matters is that in which medium one can present in a impressive way with convenience.

Brother I have just tried 03338882029 and it is responding properly. I just talked to them. The Ptcl number may not be functioning. You might have contacted out of working hour so couldn't get connected.
