Sayira frankly speaking I wasn't well prepared for Journalism but by grace of Allah paper was so general and critical that I attempted it easily.I took help from 3 books;
1)By Abid Tehami
2)By Dr.Mehdi
3)By dr.Saleem(Book for B.A)

First of all see Most repeated questions;

Choose a topic,read it from all available books and make your own notes along with points so near exams you may find no difficulty in revising them.
