It's like i'm the only one taking 2nd language Urdu!! Could anyone help me? So my 2nd language Urdu exam is in may and i'm pretty scared. Could you answer some questions of mine and give me some tips on how to get a good grade in Urdu as well?
Q1. What are the examiners really looking for so as to give you an A*?? Are there like some wild factors they'd like to see in your exam? Please mention.
Q2. What if for the comprehension part...i write exactly the same text as given in the passages? Will my marks be deducted?? Do we have to write in our own words as in is it a MUST??
Please reply asap. May Allah Bless you!
I got an A* in urdu, and i hope i will be able to help.
1)look warrior, and other students who are confused about urdu second language)what examiners are looking for is actually just plain urdu, with no mistakes and ability to understand and write the asked points in comprehension. So id u r in pakistan for five to six years, u will have no difficulty at all. Really it is just a second language urdu paper, so what needs to be done is to basically go for the requirements of the question, and stick to the word count. the most common mistake made by most pupil is to try and learn essays from books, and try to give complicated and long answers for comprehension.
2)no your marks will not be deducted, unless in the question it is wriiten something like: Q: Why did he do this(anything)? ANSWER IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
if u are stuck up and dont know how to prepare, you should once go very carefully through the marking schemes and examiner's report, and u will understand the exact requirement. I did this and got A*, another student who was way better than me in my class got A, only becoz he didnt study ms and er.
if u still have any query, you could pm me or post in this thread.
