That's a good score and you could try reading the textbook and looking at mark schemes for help in answering questions. And you should first try to study islamiat if youre taking it. Paper's on 13th.

I was wondering if I get B in islamiat paper 1 and A or A* in paper 2,what will be my overall grade?

it's not time to read textbook but just to revise the facts! if you have read the textbook at least two times before, there is no need to read again, perhaps you could just revise it and solve past papers.

A long time? I read the history in 12 hours (with long breaks). Reading the book in 48 hours should be very easy for me at least.
