    Put simply, you can't unless you have a teachers' log in to the OCR site. You should be able to get it from your teacher if they can log in.

    Human Relationships in Jan was mostly about the roles of men and women. There was also a question about civil partnerships.

    Medical Ethics was a mix of most things; fertility treatment, cloning, animal research, suicide and abortion

    Wealth & Poverty was mostly about the use of money & how one acquires it. There was also a question on concern for the poor

    Peace & Justice was a bit of a mix of things; social justice, war, peace and something about criminals.

    Equality was mostly about forgiveness, but there were also questions on racism and other religions.

    Media was all about freedom of speech (with specific questions on sex and violence)

    Sorry I can't be more precise - I got this from a document I made to help me advise my students. The actual scripts are at school and I can't remember my login to OCR!!

    Hope this helps a little

    I don't, really. The best tip I can give you is to learn your stuff. If you know it all, you'll be able to deploy relevant information so much more fluidly and thus up your mark.

    Scriptural quotes (e.g. the Bible if you're doing Christianity, the Qur'an if you're doing Islam etc) are incredibly useful and appear to be woefully lacking in many exam answers, which is ridiculous given it's an RE paper.

    Beyond that, work hard and do your best :-)
