This is the BEST answer!!
check out the PAST PAPERS of both- Cambridge and Ed-excel,, and tryna find it out urself...which one wud b better!!

If u ask the OPINION of v students, then for sure, students doing CAMBRIDGE wud prefer CAMBRIDGE and students doing ED-EXCEL wud prefer ED-EXCEL!!

So betta... U decide urself!!

My friends are in Egypt and they as far as I know , most of them are taking Edexcelian Arabic because they say it is way easier to score an A* than in Cambridge , However the British Council in Qatar has told me that they do not give Cambridge Arabic as a First Language. But I have heard that in Egyptian Universities , they focus on Cambridge Candidates and leave Edexcel candidates in the end however I am not sure. ( I suggest Cambridge , Read the Qur'an , and look for Arabic Grammar ( Nahw , Sarf ) books as well as books that might help in writing.

As for the "which is better" Part , I will ask them once I get in touch with them again Inshaa'Allah.

Pick what suits you most , but remember that Arabic is required for Egyptian Universities , ¬¬ plus its easiness , as a native language , makes it more like a free subject :)

does anyone know how 2 study 4 arabic examination?? :?

Well , the arabic language mainly divides into two major branches , Na7w and Sarf :) and there is the third branch which is small , yet important ... and that is how to write an article... if you master these then you are free to go.

I would say go for cambridge but it may not suit you so it is better to get samples of both and see for yourself which is better
to study cambridge arabic ,you should know all types of compositions then practice using past papers ,examiners reports and mark schemes and try to get more questions and solve them.Also you can read more to get more ideas in case
