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.

There are only 41 short questions (2004-2012) in the notes of hafiz arshad . are they enough for prepration? plz guide me,,,,,,

My dear one can rely on those 41 short questions . Firstly , the short questions often get repeated and secondly keeping in view their contents and structure one can construct the answers on one's own. It remains the fact that one cannot be fully confident that the short questions would be asked out of those 41. However, they assista lot in preparing this part of the paper. So , one can rely on them and then using common sense , one may make a better use of them if the questions comes out of them.

Well first of all one needs to prepare the MCQs asked in the past papers as these very often get repeated. Secondly, you might have observed that in MCQs the most common thing is that either the name of the writer is given and the book written by him has been asked or the vice versa. Keeping in view this fact , one should try to pick the name of authors and their books while preparing the subjective portion of both the papers. In this way one gets in a better position to grab maximum marks out of those 40 MCQs. I hope you would have got the idea.

For the translation of given stanza,
Just translation into urdu is enough or not?

Or one should strengthen his/her answer by explanation/elaboration of the translated part along with the meanings of difficult words?

afifa904 · #36 Wednesday, October 02, 2013

Is there any choice in the stanzas for translation?

See this past paper of 2013 to understand how the question is asked . The exminer is demanding just translation in both the questions, not explanation . However in the first question one has to translate with reference to context. While in the second question one has to explain the meanings of underlined words .

Choice is there . Had you seen the past papers for once , this question would not have risen .

do we need to prepare all the poets for the translation?
or just UMRA-UL-QAIS and ZAHEER BIN ASLAMA are enough? seniors please guide me.

and can i take the risk of just preparing one essay, i,e, ALLAMA IQBAL
because in 2013 and 2012 there was essay on ARABIC LANGUAGE,
so hopefully ALLAMA IQBAL is expected this time,,,,
seniors plz comment.
