Besides book suggestions, I am interested in knowing that whether we should quote the references from books or not? And should we divide the answer in different segments through headings or a simple plain answer would suffice? What are the tricks to get good score in this subject with reference to your experience.
Thanks in advance

Books i consulted.
1.Hitti for Paper 1 and 2 (Read it v selectively otherwise you will not memorize it)
2.Moors in Spain by Stanley Lane Pole,read only for spain part as it is the most important part in paper 2.That book is rare in market.you can downloaf from internet and one of the best books to quote as reference.
3.Faridi's Most important Question's book.That is a short but informative book
4.Sohail Bhatti for caliphs,pre islamic conditions and Some other few topics.
Draw maps if possible like i drew maps in question regarding conquest of Walid 1.Try to attempt paper different from others,make it simple and easy to be read by examiner if you want to snatch some extra marks.
Give proper headings in nearly all questions.
You can quote aayat, ahadees and well sayings.
one of the most important thing is to manage time and give equal time to all the questions
