Paper 2 was very hard, does anyone know the grade boundaries? also are the boundaries based on national average?

What two reasons did you write for suicide? I think I wrote that its murder and that it goes against the sanctity of life, would that be right?

for the question 'how can a Christian help to solve inequality?' I put;

They can donate money to charitable organisations. They can volunteer their time and effort to help others. They can partake in peaceful protest against elitist governments or organisations, or corrupt regimes.


I'm sure a similar question has come up before :rolleyes:I'll try to find it but I put:

Peaceful protest
Civil disobedience
Martin Luther King Jr.
