The GCSE Persian Gap

Why speaking Persian at home is not enough

Many students assume GCSE Persian is easy because they speak the language. But the exam tests much more than conversation.

✗
Informal writing — texting-style Farsi doesn’t earn marks. The exam requires structured paragraphs with correct grammar.
✗
Spelling errors — heritage speakers often make critical spelling mistakes that cost marks in the writing paper.
✗
No translation practice — English↔Persian translation requires specific technique that daily chat doesn’t build.
✗
No exam technique — knowing how examiners mark and using tenses strategically makes the difference between a 5 and a 9.
