Aoa!
Today I'm posting my tips for Urdu
1.First of allchoose Urdu only if you are really good in it otherwise its not scoring
2.Read adabi sections of different newspapers
3.Before attempting such questions in Urdu A( like COMMENT ON STYLE OF Mushtaq Yousafi)give a brief introduction of author and his/her works.
4.I also used quotations for example in the question(COMMENT ON STYLE OF Mushtaq Yousafi?) I gave quotation of Zameer Jafari
Mushtaq Yousafi Urdu ka Mangla dam hain.
5.Buy MA Urdu master guidekits very relevant.Anwar sadeed urdu adab ki thareekh is aother good book
6.For Iqbal and Ghalib MA Urdu has separate books like Ghalib aur Iqbal get them too
7.Try to memorize lot of Ashaars
I'll post my tips for CA next time InshAllah
