Is it true that you get extra credit for studying Urdu in Alevels?

I have heard that if you study Urdu in your A levels it is equivalent to studying to subjects and if you score an A it is considered as two As. Is it true? cuz it doesn't seem so.

I don't know about Urdu. However, such subjects are referred to as 'Double Credit' Subjects. Examples include:
- Chemistry
- Economics
- World History
- Computer Studies
- Further Maths

I think that there are a few more. However, the above subs are all 'Double Credit' subs.


Like-wsie there are half-credit subs as well like:

- General Paper
- Business Studies (if taken along with Economics)

And a few more, I guess.
