Hi!

Hello and welcome ☺️
I'm probably not the best person to share notes because I'm really unprepared myself- oops. But if you haven't already, I'd have a look at the specification here...

I sat this exam too!! For RS, and those two topics. Are you also sitting philosophy?

Just wondering because I really don't have last minute time to go through the book, apart from knowledge being impossible without them, what were Plato's other arguments for universals or the realm of the forms? I felt like he said we wouldn't be able to recognise new particulars as X unless they partook is X, but I don't want to mix it up if it's wrong.

Thank you

Hi guys!

For those doing A Level Philosophy (AQA), does anybody have any practice besides the 2015 paper and the specimen that's on the website? Perhaps the 2014 or 2016 paper?

Thanks so much!

I thought us AQA candidates could use a thread where we can discuss exam questions, give exam tips and help each other out when we don't understand something.

I'm currently doing the PHIL 3 units on:
.Ethics
.Philosophy of Religion.

PHIL 4:
.Mill's 'On Liberty'

I've also done the AS units:
PHIL 1:
.Reason and experience
.The origins of God

PHIL 2:
.God and the world
.Tolerance

Past papers for AQA Philosophy can be found here:

Grade Boundaries can be found here:

Hope this thread will be of some use to people :smile:
