Get Good Marks in Your Urdu Exam

Urdu is one of the most important subjects for students who are enrolled in Pakistani education boards. As a subject awarding marks out of 100 in intermediate classes, its impact is great on the curriculum. Students are required to have a good grasp of this language: its prose, poetry, and grammar all hold their own place in the syllabus.

As it is the case with most languages, there are many students who struggle to completely understand Urdu. There are many reasons contributing to this, such as the general preference of English over Urdu in most schools and colleges, or the fact that a majority of students in Pakistan speak a different language at home.

But it’s undeniable that Urdu is the national and official language of Pakistan, and is a compulsory subject in every education board in the country. So, unless students are foreigners, they have no choice but to work hard to improve their Urdu.

Most students are afraid of this subject. Although they’re rather comfortable with Urdu in their daily lives, the difference between conversational and formal Urdu is great. Pakistani students understand that they will have to put a lot of effort into improving their Urdu. However, this is not that difficult of a process. You just have to understand a few fundamental concepts and begin using learning techniques.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Start reading Urdu books in your leisure
  2. Urdu literature is rarely considered for hobby-reading by high school students. Although it’s true that it’s rare to find stories or books that will capture the interest of younger minds, you might be surprised if you start to look. And even if you don’t enjoy Urdu fiction, maybe you’ll find something of interest in nonfiction. Whatever your preferences might be, giving Urdu literature a chance will pay off when the time comes for your exams!

  3. Practice writing Urdu regularly
  4. If you’re like the majority, you probably struggle the most with writing Urdu. It can be because you find the grammar complicated, or you just can’t get a hang of the different spellings of similar sounding words — if Urdu writing is not your forte, it’s about time you begin practicing. It can actually be a fun challenge! Try keeping a journal in Urdu, or try your hand at writing a short story in Urdu each month. Whatever you do, as long as you keep writing Urdu regularly, you’ll reap benefits like never before.

  5. When preparing for your Urdu exam, utilize solved past papers
  6. If you’re not looking to improve your Urdu for the long-term, you can always opt for the less time-consuming option. This won’t help you much in becoming a better Urdu speaker, but your marks sheet will definitely thank you. In fact, using past papers is an exam preparation method on its own.  Here are the things you can do by using unsolved or solved past papers:

     

    1. Figure out important topics and identify exam patterns
    2. Get a good grasp of the questions that will be asked from your textbook
    3. Practice testing. You can be your own examiner when you practice taking exams in order to prepare for your Urdu finals!
    4. Solved past papers will help you improve the quality of your answers. Actually, you might even be able to identify any repeating mistakes that you make by reading them.

While Urdu does seem like a daunting subject, it’s not actually that difficult. Once you get used to it, Urdu — just like English — becomes as easy as pie. So don’t procrastinate your exam preparations for Urdu any longer and study hard!
