there is no use of memorizing all the idioms by heart, u just need to know the technique to answer the idioms question. the idioms asked in exam are very common. here's the tip:
1. never use the idioms in literal meaning in sentences. u will never be awarded for it. i.e haath dhona: ----- us ne paani se haath dhoe. such sentences are not awarded.
2. use ur comman sense and imagination. i.e mulk-e-adm mein rawana hona.: thats a difficult one but u will not get that much difficult idioms. first fully understand the words used in it. mulk-e-adm means ever-living city. now if you thing about the ever-living city u may come to the idea of life hereafter. so thats it, it means to die . so just be imaginative and if u r not able to find any sensible answer, just make an educated guess instead of leaving it. you may be awarded.
3. instead of just memorizing the idioms, watch urdu dramas which use idioms and read alot as it will give u ideas to develop new sentences using different words/idioms. this will improve you sentence structure and language skills.
4. most important, dont prepare for language subjects like urdu by learning but u should practice as language is all about skills which u develope more as u become mature or u take it seriously and practice alot.
hope it helps
