KPK Matric Urdu: where the marks go

KPK Matric Urdu (Class IX) is a 75-mark paper: 15 MCQs, 36 marks of constructed-response questions and 24 marks of extended-response questions, set in Urdu. The Table of Specification splits the constructed marks into passage questions, two five-mark writing tasks and lexical items, and the extended marks into four six-mark answers: passage, poem, ghazal, and a roudad, dialogue or letter.

Marks go on clear structure and accurate language. We keep the question types and marks of the Table of Specification.

How each paper is marked here

Where KPK Matric Urdu candidates lose marks

  1. Grammar items answered by sound rather than rule — Muzakkar-muannas, واحد جمع, مترادف, متضاد and محاورات items are objective; they reward the learned rule, not instinct.
  2. Poetry explanation without the context line — Tashreeh questions need the poet, the poem and the context before the explanation; skipping it loses the opening mark.
  3. Letters and applications with the wrong format — The address, salutation and closing are marked separately from the body.
  4. Prose summary that drifts from the lesson — Marks go to the main points of the prescribed lesson, in the order the author makes them.
