Hi all it’s my first attempt for PM can you give me any tips and advice where to focus more. I have a full time job so barely get any time to study I’m studying online from Sir Ahmed Shafi. Which topics should I do a lot of practice of and how many years back past papers are enough. Is just studyhub mtq enough?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I moved from Pakistan to Uk in 2020 I have been here for barely 5 years and all I can say is this country has given me everything a citizen would ask for, I can pray freely. here are so many mosques around halal food and on top of that sense of security to feel safe. I had great opportunities got job here in finance just in 3 weeks of landing here now recently moved to another job got promoted (all of this without any links or shafarash) totally based on merit I had white British people in competition with me but they chose me. 2 days ago I was invited by King Charles III of England to his Buckingham palace in London for garden party I had the privilege to shook hands with him and spoke to the king of UK. He was one of the most humble person I have ever spoken to. The first thing he said to me was “it’s so nice to see you” and said he’s proud of all the work we do in the charity. I was in disbelief of how humble he was. Living most of my life in Pakistan where a mere ordinary guy would not talk to you if you earn 10k pkr less than him let alone any person in government or any politician or anyone with any sort of power. I could only say this Pakistan is a state made for elite not a common man not even for the business man no matter how successful you become even if you are a normal shop keeper or a business tycoon like Malik Riaz, a politician like zardari or a famous cricketer philanthropist and politician like Imran khan NO MATTER who you are every one of us is beneath the establishment. This country is not for the ordinary but for the tyrants and it always will be that way. Don’t be a fool like Imran khan to change something that can never be changed. JUST LEAVE THE COUNTRY. make your lives in respectful society no matter if it’s somewhere in Europe or uk. Just get out of this hell. Can’t even begin with how expensive it is to live in Pakistan. It’s full of poverty and misery to live there. And trust me I say this with a very heavy heart for a country I grew up in for country I waved the flag 🇵🇰 every 14th august full of patriotic pride and joy.
So a few days ago I posted on here absolutely bricking it about attending a Buckingham Palace Garden Party as a regular bloke with no idea what to expect. You lot were incredible the advice, the comments, the DMs I was genuinely overwhelmed. Some of you even gave me specific tips on where to stand and how to navigate the day.
Here’s your update. And I promise it’s worth it.
I went. And I got lucky.
Out of roughly 4,000 people there I somehow found myself standing face to face with His Majesty King Charles III. Just him no Queen Camilla, no other royals. Solo. Walking through the crowd like a man who owns the place. Which technically he does.
He shook my hand. He looked me in the eye. He spoke to me personally and said he was enormously proud of all the work being done and that there was no adequate way to thank everyone. What struck me most was how genuinely humble he was. This is the King of England and yet the warmth, the sincerity, the way he carried himself it felt completely real. No performance. No formality. Just a man who genuinely meant every word he said. Truly one of the most down to earth people I have ever spoken to. For someone in his position that is honestly exceptional.
To whoever told me to explore the gardens at the back first before the crowds gathered absolute genius advice. The gardens were stunning and coming back later meant I was in a much better position when it mattered. I genuinely think that made all the difference. You know who you are. 🙏
On the food look, it was good. But legendary? The stuff of myths? Not quite. Manage your expectations on that front and luckily enough I wore a simple lounge suit which ended up a great idea as there was no one not even his majesty himself wearing a morning suit except one guy with tall hat too. I’m glad I wasn’t that guy.
Oh and the guest list. Helen Mirren, Idris Elba, Damian Lewis, Ant and Dec, Myleene Klass and Carl Cox were all there. Simon Cowell was apparently there too though I never spotted him. Probably busy giving someone a no. 😭
I also came home with a personal card signed “CHARLES R.” with a watercolour painting of Balmoral Estate on the front painted by the King himself. I’m still not entirely sure this is real life.
To everyone who helped me on that first post thank you. Genuinely. You made this day even more special.
I don’t have words. I am the first in my whole family to ever experience something this extraordinary. It’s genuinely a pleasure and something to remember for years to come.
So I’ve just received one of those cream envelopes with the royal crest on the front and I genuinely thought it was junk mail at first. Turns out I’ve been invited to a Buckingham Palace Garden Party this summer. I’m a regular bloke from England nothing fancy about me whatsoever and I am completely out of my depth.
I’ve got so many questions:
What to wear? I know it’s “smart” but how smart are we talking? Top hat and tails territory? A normal suit?or a morning suit is necessary as come a lot expensive I am not sure I can afford one just for the party. I’ve heard women and men wear hats is that still a thing or does it look try hard?
What actually happens? Do you just… walk around the garden eating finger sandwiches? Is there a programme? Do you get to meet anyone royal or is it thousands of people and you’re lucky to spot a distant corgi?
Etiquette? I don’t want to be the guy who commits some embarrassing faux pas and ends up in a tabloid. Can you just walk upto a royal and ask for a selfi 😭Any dos and don’ts would be massively appreciated.
Practically speaking how long does it last? It says in invitation letter that King will make appearance for 2 hours or so Can you bring a plus one? Do they feed you properly or should I eat beforehand?
I know this is a very “first world problem” but honestly I’m more nervous about this than most things I’ve done in my life. Would love to hear from anyone who’s attended or knows the drill. Cheers! 🎩
Do you think he’s a good guy or just another gimmick to accumulate views and followers
