You can see the following tips to attempt your Urdu paper in a proper way:1. Use Marker and Headings
The first thing that makes your impression is the use of marker and headings. Headings make it easy for the paper examiner to quickly understand the various parts, questions, and portions of answers on your answer sheet. headings are also necessary for a clean and attractive layout of the paper. So, use Marker for the following headings:- Questions
- Subheading of your answers
- Writing verses (ashaar) and quotations
- Difficult words or keywords within the texts.
While using headings, it is important to use two sizes for fonts. Use a little larger fonts for main headings for example titles, question No. etc and use a little smaller fonts for subheadings for example headings in your essay, siaq-osabaaq, tashreeh etc.
Tip: To differentiate the main headings and subheadings, you can underline the main headings, or you can centralize the main headings.
2. Better Start new Questions on a new page
If your answer to the previous question end below half of the page, start a new question on the next page. It will make it easy for your paper checker to move to various questions of your paper. The more easiness you provide to the paper marker, the more marks you will get out of favor. The letter must be started on a new page.
3. Use Couplets (Poetry) and Quotes
You can use ashaar (verses of poetry) and quotes in your paper. The best parts of your paper to include qoutes and petry are essay, letter, explanation of stanzas, and explanation of Nasar. You may not add these into Khulasas of Nasar and poem. Use blue marker while writing these quotes and pieces of poetry. aways keep a line space above and below the piece of poetry or quote.
4. Write in proper quantity
Yes, the main thing here is the quantity of the content you write for each answer. There are certain rules which tell who much you will write for each question. Here are the various questions and their relevant tips:
- Explanation of Poems (Nazam k Ashaar ki tashreeh) = 3-4 pages
- Explanation of Ghazal (Ghazal k ashaar ki tashreeh) = 1-1.5 page for each Shair
- Siaq-oSabaaq = 8-12 lines
- Explanation of Nasar (nasar k paragraph ki tashreh) = minimum 2 pages
- Summary of lesson(sabaq ka Khulasa) = almost 2 pages (+, - 4-5 lines)
- Summary of Poem (Nazam ka Khulasa) = 7-10 lines
- Essay (Mazmoon) 5-6 pages
- Letter (Khat) = almost 1.5-2 pages
Note:
- While writing tashreh of nasar, include 2-3 lines for the introduction of the author, do not include poetry in Khulasa of Nazam.
- There are 3 verses of Ghazals and you have to explain each separately, so the explanation for 1 verse should be at least 1 page and not more than 1.5 pages. You can include more verses in the explanation.
- While writing the answer to any question, do not repeat the same words or sentences again and again.
5. Start from Smaller to bigger
It is a good strategy to attempt your paper starting from the shortest answer to the longest one. for example, the longest part of your paper is the essay, so, attempt it at the end of the paper.

You have three hours to solve all the questions. The 1st 20 minutes are assigned to the objective paper. The remaining 2 hours and 40 minutes are assigned to the subjective paper. So, you have to attempt the remaining 6 questions in two hours and forty minutes. Many students cannot attempt the complete paper and the time is up.

After you have solved the paper, spare 5 minutes to look back at your answer sheet and make sure that all the headings are correct. match the question numbers on the question paper with that you have written on the answer sheet.
