Contexto cultural
The 'Konkur' is the most famous exam in Iran. Students spend years preparing for this one-day 'emtehān dādan' event. In Iranian schools, oral exams (emtehān-e shafāhi) are very common, where students stand in front of the class to 'give' their answers. The concept of 'Emtehān-e Elāhi' (Divine Test) is common in Iranian culture, referring to life's hardships as tests from God. During 'Emtehān' season (usually June and January), Iranian social media is flooded with memes about the stress of 'emtehān dādan'.
The 'Give' Rule
Always remember: Students GIVE, Teachers TAKE. It's the opposite of English.
Subject Placement
Put the subject of the exam right before the word 'emtehān', e.g., 'emtehān-e fārsi'.
