OCR A2 Religious Studies - How'd everyone find it?

Well I though the free will question was brilliant. I answered the homosexuality one as well- although i was shocked sexual ethics came up, and was so specific.

Virtue Ethics- again nothing like that has come up before, the style of question I mean. And applying religious ethics to business seems horrendous!

I thought it was quite a tough paper! At least no meta ethics!!

Yeah I was looking for Meta-Ethics and conscience, but neither was there! It wasn't so bad though because I think I was lucky in having a free will question that was just a simple explain question.

Also in Philosophy I wanted to get a question on Life After Death and Religious Experience, which I did get but they were on the bits which I didn't really revise that well.

Overall I think I got a B in Philo and an A in Ethics! So its between an A and a B for me seeing as last year I was 2% away from an A :frown:

Philosophy I thought went aiight at the time, but I'm more confident now.
I wrecked Boethius, but I was worried about the free will question, but I think I did fairly well.

Buddhism resit was a dream, had I revised, I would have got an A*, but I'm hoping I didn't disgrace myself, and get a B. B, no revison, 6 months after the last time I even looked at the topic, I'd be slightly proud.

How much do you have to write to get an A? I averaged about 2 and a half sides for each question, but my writing is fairly small...was just getting a bit paranoid because i finished before everyone elese

My thoughts exactly...I'll be surprised if I get into uni after that exam
I didn't revise meta ethics, thought it would be a waste of time, think I went on and on about the wrong things, grr.. :mad:

I did about 2 and a half sides for each question aswell!

Think it went quite well,
The ethics questions were fab, did free will and sexual ethics.
Not too sure about philosophy, did Rel. Experience and Life after death.

Hey

I did Philosophy: Boethuis and Life After Death! Found the questions quite specific, anyone else? On Boethuis, I talked a lot about the Attributes of God etccc did anyone else?
and Ethics: Free Will and Determinism and Virtue Ethics! God sends! Virtue ethics was ok, despite having to do strengths and weaknesses, because I managed to get all of Plato and Aristotle's views down, then discussed the strengths and weaknesses and evaluated - did anyone else do the same?!

I hate the long wait til results!!

It's to do with God being "all-knowing" and having foreknowledge!

But then the question was something like Asses boethius' argument that God rewards and punishes justly, but where have we learnt the specific argument :s-smilie:

In other words, it seemed like they just wanted us to reconcile the problem of omniscience with reward and punishment, in which case they shoudl have just sed so! lol

The exam would have been amazing had I revised, but I hadn't. I hope my high UMS from the AS drag my grade up to a B tho. Retaking next year anyway so chilling about it.

Basically, it's on the spec.

Boethis argued that God's knowledge was not causal, i.e. God knows Y because Y happens, Y doesn't happen because God knows it.

same i aictually havnt come across boethius being associated with punishment n rewards... i juss remeber mentioning that boethuis doesnt think god punishes or rewards us coz den it would mean god is biased n arbitarty i.e. god answering peoples prayers

I'm almost certain that's Wiles and Hebblethwaite, not Boethius.
That's the miracles topic surely?
