In exactly the same situation. I am also doing the same units.
No. But you can revise the main points and pray that the topics that you haven't revised don't come up - it's worked for me in my mocks.

BUT

My efficient revision technique is this. Anything Christianity related - Bible, Jesus, Church and Teachings ( Golden Rule, Sanctity of Life, Brother's keeper)

Anything Islam related - Qur'an, Muhammed, Ummah, Shari'ah and teachings.

Some questions will inevitably come up - expect a media question (just include freedom of speech for for and leads to aggression for against)
- expect an 8 marker on a Islamic/Christian view on an issue ( homosexuality/suicide/environment/etc)
- expect a 6 marker on a should a religious person be ... or do...
-AND MEMORIZE ALL THE DEFINITIONS, it'll be a kick up the arse if you lose a mark on one.

Hope this helped. - Aystah Student

Yes it is possible to revise for R.E in 3 days.The grade boundaries are really high and theres a reason why

Original poster,i suggest you do past papers,and pay attention to the mark scheme.R.E has lots of past papers and questions do repeat themselves,and the good thing is ,most of the time it isn't even reworded.

Have you got the Edexcel revision guide, if yes just make short, precise notes and memorise them. Make sure you revise atleast 4 points from each unit, so when answering the questions in the exam you know what to talk about.
Good luck!

Yeah, i found it pretty good, I knew points for all of the questions I did and I didn't run out of time which is quite an achievement for me. I knew it would be a good paper as soon as I saw 1a:biggrin:

Ohh thats great, i finished the paper just on time, i kept checking my answers over and over again, adding even MORE points just to make sure i had included everything to get full marks.
Yeaaaaah I did that too... For one of the D questions I felt like one of my points was a little weak so I added two more so I have about five points for it :biggrin:
