AKU-EB SSC Urdu: where the marks go
AKU-EB SSC Urdu Compulsory is a 75-mark qualification in one three-hour sitting. Paper I is 30 compulsory MCQs and Paper II is 45 marks of constructed and extended responses, which candidates write in the allotted lines of the question booklet. Marks are shared between comprehension of prose and verse, grammar and composition, and answers are expected in the candidate's own words.
AdmitPortfolio builds Urdu papers to that structure. Paper I scores automatically; Paper II is marked for the meaning, language and structure asked for, with rubrics written in Urdu and English notes for the marking points.

How each paper is marked here

- Paper II answers are marked for the specific meaning, point or form asked for, with language accuracy credited separately.
- Both marks and notes are given in Urdu and English so teachers can use them in class.
Where AKU-EB SSC Urdu candidates lose marks
- Explaining a passage by repeating it line by line — Passage and verse questions ask for the meaning in the candidate's own words. Word-for-word restatement scores little.
- Grammar items answered without the rule — Parts of speech, sentence analysis and idiom questions need the specific term or the correct usage, not a general guess.
- Letters, applications and essays with weak structure — A clear opening, a developed body and a close carry marks of their own, apart from correct language.
- Answers that outgrow the lines provided — The board directs answers into the space given in the booklet. Long, unfocused answers bury the points that earn marks.
