All text books are not necessary to be studied but comprehension of them is, either you study the original text or read their critical appreciation. It is, no doubt,better however to read the text.

Remember that opting Urdu as being easy subject and not working over it may harm your score. Have a look at past papers and syllabus and decide it yourself.
