I've got a 90/100, 19/20, 18/20, 17/20 in my assessments and exams. I continue studying and I've also gotten 10/10 in questions. Will I be able to get a A* for Islamiyat? I hope so, since I never ratafy but try to understand it.
And how should you memorise the reference numbers. I usually do remember a few but during the exams, I realized it was pretty hard to keep remembering them....
P.S. I've heard that CIE my remove the reference numbers. Is it true?
I say give Islamiat your full attention, it is the hardest of the subjects in the first year, it may seem real easy, but getting an A in islamiat is REALLY hard, atleast very few people got A's and A*'s from my school ( i got an A )
As for the grades, they don't matter, just make sure you memorize the material given in the books and it should be real easy there is no specific pattern to answer your question.
REFERENCES ARE NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!, atleast, they make a good impression; as for the references number, the Most ideal would be ( Surah Name, Surah number|verse number ), like " Obey Allah and his messenger " ( Surah Nisa; 4:59 ), that is the most IDEAL, what is acceptable is that you just quote the surah name which is far easier, i filled my paper with verses; people said that since i am doing HIFZ it is real easy for me to quote verses on the spot, though that was a bunch of balony since doing HIFZ and quoting verses is VERY DIFFERENT. as for a technique to memorize them: there is none, the verses just came to me and i quoted them, some may be good at it, and some.. well, they BECAME good at it, you just have to figure out which one you fit in.
Precisely. If you aren't good at it, you HAVE to become good at it. It's not a choice.
As far as the verse number is concerned, the numbers aren't needed. I just wrote one reference number out of a lot of quotes (had a paper that literally demanded for them
). People who say that A*s and As are impossible without the numbers are, aptly put it, bullshitting. I've got an A* and I assure you, I wrote just ONE reference number. It's better to NOT write the number than to write it incorrect. Though they don't negatively mark it, they wont positively credit it either.
As far as the references learning is concerned, make a list of the relevant quotes and HAND WRITE them down. Then read them a few times and try to reproduce them without looking. Do this to perfection and you'll learn em in no time. I made a list, and even tcs-ed it to one of the PG members here some time ago, the list I made for my finals, with aroudn 60-70 odd Quranic referneces. Ahadith are very, very easy to learn, and the ones in the syllabus mostly cover the questionable aspects that may call for a quote.
Oh, and make ABSOLUTELY sure that you DO NOT mention the Surahs given in Q1 as a part of the references EVER in paper 1, and the Ahadith in Paper 2. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER ever.
Just skip the reference. It's just 3 Surahs. It's more than likely that you have learnt many others that will fit there.
Back to the reference number, if you can learn it and are confident, good. If not, just skip it. If you remember the Surah name (very easy to remember), just write in the end -(Surah al ____ : Al Quran). If you can't even write that, just write -Al Quran for the Quranic, and -Imam Muslim/Bukhari/Tirmizi for the Ahadith (interesting part, you can use either name, though the most prominent narrator is preferred. None of the three are wrong for any given Hadith unless specified in the book.)
