Guys, for Arabic GCSE most of the unit's aren't too tough if you learn the key terms they have provided.

I've only found writing to be the hardest, students tend to memorise paragraphs beforehand and simply jot it all down for memory.

Any tips for writing?

I did my GCSE last year and got A*. In speaking I got an A* also and my tips are to stay calm, and learn it by heart. Speaking is by far the easiest of the parts to an arabic GCSE. If you know the examiner then just ask what types of questions they would ask and get comfortable around them! My younger sister is doing it this year and she studies and practices the speaking with me. You should get a friend or family member to make questions and test you as well. Hope this helps!

The sheet you get from the school should give you 40 topics to do. Some for jobs, some for sports and some for hobbies or holidays. These are very important- and for a sure a* you should learn at least half of them. This is because those topics will be found in your writing test, and will help you out a lot. I chose my ideal/worst job and my worst holiday. Luckily for my something about jobs came up for my writing, and I got an a* for it thanks to my speaking topics.
