These 1st year FBISE notes all subjects are original study and revision notes only, written in plain language for first-year students. They are not official FBISE material, not leaked papers, and not a guarantee of marks. Use them alongside your own class work and textbooks, and check the official FBISE syllabus and paper pattern for the final requirements.
FBISE-first note: Start with the Federal Board syllabus for your subject combination, then use these notes for revision. FBISE papers test understanding, not memorised answers, so practise writing short answers in your own words and solving MCQs without looking at the answers first.

English Compulsory
First-year English builds reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing. Read each lesson for its main idea first, then note new words, sentence patterns and the writer’s message in your own words. Regular short writing practice helps more than reading notes once.
Important Topics
- Reading comprehension: main idea, supporting details and inference
- Grammar: tenses, active and passive voice, direct and indirect speech
- Vocabulary in context, synonyms, antonyms and word formation
- Writing: paragraphs, letters, applications and story writing
Short Questions and Answers
Q: What is the first step in answering a comprehension question?
A: Read the passage for its main idea, then re-read the part that relates to the question before writing a short, direct answer.
Q: Why is tense accuracy important in English writing?
A: Correct tense shows when an action happened and keeps the meaning clear, so the reader does not confuse past, present and future events.
Long Question and Answer
Q: How should a student plan a paragraph answer in an examination?
A: Start with a clear topic sentence, add two or three supporting points in simple sentences, give one short example where it fits, and finish with a closing sentence that repeats the main point. Check grammar, spelling and punctuation before moving on.
MCQs
1. Which sentence is in the present perfect tense? (a) She goes to school. (b) She has gone to school. (c) She went to school. (d) She will go to school. — Answer: (b) She has gone to school.
2. The synonym of “brave” is: (a) timid (b) courageous (c) weak (d) slow. — Answer: (b) courageous.

Urdu Compulsory
Urdu Compulsory develops reading, understanding and clear written expression. Focus on the central idea of each lesson, the meaning of difficult words in context, and the ability to explain a passage in simple Urdu. Practise short answers daily, rather than memorising long paragraphs.
Important Topics
- Lesson summaries and central ideas in your own words
- Word meanings, synonyms, antonyms and sentence use
- Grammar: sentences, verbs, tenses and punctuation in Urdu writing
- Writing: letters, applications, paragraphs and summaries
Short Questions and Answers
Q: How can a student write a good summary of a lesson?
A: Read the lesson fully, pick out its main points, leave out examples and extra detail, and rewrite those points in short, clear sentences.
Q: Why should word meanings be learned in sentences?
A: A word can change meaning with context, so using it in a sentence shows that the student understands it, not only its dictionary meaning.
Long Question and Answer
Q: Explain how to answer a lesson-based long question.
A: Begin with the main idea of the lesson, explain it in two or three connected points, support it with a brief reference to the lesson, and end with a clear conclusion. Keep the language simple and check that every sentence stays on the question.
MCQs
1. A summary should mainly contain: (a) every detail (b) the main points (c) only examples (d) only difficult words. — Answer: (b) the main points.
2. Learning a word in a sentence mainly helps with: (a) spelling only (b) meaning in context (c) handwriting (d) reading speed only. — Answer: (b) meaning in context.

Statistics
Statistics is about collecting, organising and interpreting data. First-year students should learn definitions clearly, then practise calculations step by step. Always write the formula, show the working, and check whether the answer makes sense for the data given.
Important Topics
- Data, variables, frequency distribution and class intervals
- Mean, median and mode for grouped and ungrouped data
- Range, variance and standard deviation in simple terms
- Graphs: histograms, frequency polygons and pie charts
Short Questions and Answers
Q: What is the mean of a set of numbers?
A: The mean is found by adding all the values and dividing the total by the number of values.
Q: What does a frequency distribution show?
A: It shows how often each value, or each class of values, occurs in a set of data.
Long Question and Answer
Q: Explain how to find the mean from grouped data.
A: Find the midpoint of each class, multiply each midpoint by its frequency, add those products, and divide by the total frequency. Label each step clearly so a small calculation error can be found quickly.
MCQs
1. The mean of 4, 6 and 8 is: (a) 4 (b) 6 (c) 8 (d) 18. — Answer: (b) 6.
2. In a frequency table, “frequency” means: (a) the largest value (b) the number of times a value occurs (c) the average (d) the range. — Answer: (b) the number of times a value occurs.

Computer Science
Computer science in first year explains how computers store, process and share information. Learn each term with a simple example, and practise drawing or labelling diagrams from memory. For chapter-by-chapter revision, the related post linked above is a useful companion to this section.
Important Topics
- Computer systems: input, processing, output and storage
- Memory: RAM, ROM, cache and secondary storage
- CPU parts and the fetch-decode-execute cycle
- Networks, protocols, databases, tables and queries
Short Questions and Answers
Q: What is the difference between hardware and software?
A: Hardware is the physical part of a computer, while software is the set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do.
Q: What is a primary key in a database table?
A: A primary key is a field that uniquely identifies each record in a table, so no two records share the same key value.
Long Question and Answer
Q: Explain how data moves from input to output in a computer system.
A: Input devices collect data, memory holds it while the CPU processes it, and output devices present the result. Storage keeps data for later use. Each stage depends on the others, so a clear answer should follow this order and name one example for each stage.
MCQs
1. Which memory loses its contents when power is off? (a) ROM (b) RAM (c) Hard drive (d) Flash drive. — Answer: (b) RAM.
2. A row in a database table is called: (a) field (b) record (c) key (d) query. — Answer: (b) record.

Economics
Economics studies how people, businesses and governments make choices with limited resources. Learn each concept with a daily-life example, draw simple demand and supply diagrams carefully, and practise explaining causes and effects in short, logical steps.
Important Topics
- Scarcity, choice, needs and wants
- Demand, supply and market equilibrium in simple terms
- Types of markets and the role of price
- National income, money and basic economic problems
Short Questions and Answers
Q: What is scarcity in economics?
A: Scarcity means resources are limited while human wants are unlimited, so choices must be made.
Q: What happens to demand when price rises, other things being equal?
A: Demand usually falls, because buyers are less willing or able to buy the good at the higher price.
Long Question and Answer
Q: Explain the basic economic problem and how it affects choices.
A: People face unlimited wants but limited income, time and resources. This forces choices: what to produce, how to produce it, and for whom. Every choice has an opportunity cost, which is the next best alternative given up. A clear answer should define scarcity, give a daily example, and explain opportunity cost.
MCQs
1. Scarcity arises because: (a) wants are limited (b) resources are limited and wants are unlimited (c) money is unlimited (d) prices never change. — Answer: (b) resources are limited and wants are unlimited.
2. Other things being equal, a rise in price usually: (a) increases demand (b) decreases demand (c) leaves demand unchanged (d) removes supply. — Answer: (b) decreases demand.
