Paper 1 The history and culture of Pakistan (Written paper) Paper 1 tests your knowledge and understanding. You need to answer three questions: One question from Section A This is the compulsory, source-based question. It is based on two sources. Source A will be a written source; Source B will be a visual or pictorial source. Parts (a) and (b) of the question will be based on the sources. Any two questions from Section B Four questions are presented here; you should choose two of them to answer. Learner Guide 9 Part (a) • worth 3 marks • asks you to find answers from the sources. Question types and advice - Paper 1 Section A The questions in Paper 1 Section A are split into four parts: (a), (b) (c) and (d). You must answer all parts of the question in Section A. Part (b) • worth 5 marks • asks you to make suggestions about the events, using the sources. Part (c) • worth 7 marks • asks you to explain why a specific event or factor happened or why it was important. Part (d) • worth 10 marks • asks you to provide a balanced argument and conclusion about historical events or factors. Explain why, don’t just describe. For example, if you were asked: ‘Why were the British able to take control of India by 1850?’ You would need to show some detailed knowledge of several factors, linking these together into a chain of causation. Explain your judgements by comparing the factor in the question against other factors from your own knowledge to give a balanced explanation. These questions typically ask for your judgements using questions like: “Was the work of the Christian missionaries the most important reason why the Indians opposed British attempts to westernise them between 1750 uploads/Management/ history-learning-guide.pdf
