Can the twos questions that we choose from be from the same topic? So, for example, two questions about eschatology in which we have to choose from?

You choose one question of 2 parts

And, does anyone have anything on apocalyptic language and symbols. I know that certain words symbolised things but don't understand the relevance there at all. Thank you 😊

The obscure language makes it impenetrable and irrelevant in today's society

I know but there are two main questions to choose from (each with two parts) is it possible that the two questions we choose from are of the same topic? So two questions on eschatology to choose from, each with two parts?

The apocalyptic literature eg: Daniel from the Old Testament and revelations contains symbolic numbers such as 10 represents completeness and 3.5 represents incompleteness as well as 6 including the biblical number of evil.
Colours such as: red means war, green/grey brin death and black lack of something.
Hope this is what your asking for!!

No. You are given 2 questions, 2 out of either Esh&Apoc, Death or Human Value/Life or Present Life.
Each of these two have part A01 and part A02

Can try guessing what will come up but i think all exam boards have mixed it up this year probably because it's the last year before they rework and change all the specs. So far i've had three exams and no one on here or in my lessons have guessed whch is rah peak. Everything that has come up has been abit random and i'm sure LAD would be a ***** to guess anyway. It's a shame cause always nice sort of knowing what will come up.
I've left esch/apoly as i hate it and there is alot to learn before tomorrow just gunna make sure i'm 100% sure with christianity and buddhism then learn a few secular perspectives such as dawkins as he's always easy to learn. I need to learn death as that's what i'm most uncertain with anyone got any tips or topics for me to revise for death and implications of it?

You sound like you know what you're talking about. Do you have all the topic headings for RST4a? I get muddled up as they all sound/are the same lol

Yeah most of them are quite similar for example:

Nature of human life=value of humanlife= present life and life beyond death(this is just an extra, you need to talk about life after death in this one)

Then there is attitudes to death = death and beyond( similarly here you just need to talk about what happens beyond death)

Then there's Esch & Apoc which is completely different to the other 2

Discuss what religions think about death, and how/what can be done to prepare for death. Maybe talk a little of what happens during death

So maybe things like funeral rites??

Praying for death and apocalypse. Nature and value is my light touch subject (meaning I have done very little for it apart from memorise a few useful quotes).

Good luck everyone,

Predicting doesn't work!!

Predicting better work or else I'm doomed. I doubt death will come up tbh
