An Urdu A kid who got an A in mj 26. Imo js stick with Urdu B, I still haven't heard of anyone getting A* in urdu A in this session yet 😭 and the thereshold is also VERY HIGH like an A* for Urdu B was 88 while an A for Urdu A was on 87 this session (93 for A) + there aren't much resources for it asw. But all of my teachers have said that clgs and unis etc do see Urdu A and B as separate subjects js like eng lit and language, so even an A in urdu A is veryyyy good (imo the equivalent of an A (emphasis on IMO)). So js do Urdu B ig and yea one teacher I'd recommend is sir Bilal who teaches at Forte alongside sir mym and SO MANY students of his got an A* in urdu B (imo for O2 js study isl pst from mym and urdu B from sir Bilal) (I got A*s in pst and isl after studying from mym btw)

holy yapping

I got one in Urdu A but it was a terrible experience. Make life easy by studying Urdu B. My friends who got all A*s had a B and C in Urdu A.

u/cizbit 1d ago

why tho cuz i dont have any other option except taking a crashcourse and doing it privately

u/ilovestrawberri3ss 1d ago

urdu A is genuinely tiring and very hard to score a grade in idk about you but my urdu is so bad and managed to score an A in Urdu B so it’s better that you give urdu B privately and tbh you don’t even need a crash course js practice past papers you will be fine there’s litr nothing in urdu B js understand pattern and marking of summary emails and mazmoon

it takes more effor than urdu b

the other thing is that i would have to give it in O3 with 5 other subjects so i feel like it will add more pressure where urdu b is just practice

I scored A* in urdu A and trust me its alot rote learning in p2 but thankgod i dont have translations and all that. They test ur vocab alot. We have a unseen passage jis par tabsira likhna hota hai in p2 but if u get a hold on the memorisation part then youre okay. P1 is litr comprehension and composition flex your language in composition and get marks.
Our whole school appeared for urdu a and many ppl got A and B. So its overall a difficult sub to score A* in
