Hey guys, just wondering how many of you sat your RE ethics 1&2 papers today and how you think it went.. Discuss away

[john4896]

I assume you sat the B604 unit today. I answered questions 2&8 and thought that question 8 was more demanding than question 2 personally. I also thought the question on inequality was fairly open. :-) How did you find it?

Yeah.. I sat B603 and B604 I answered questions 2 & 8 as well. I found both of them fairly OK-ish. In regards to the inequality question - i just wrote TONNES of quotes.. anything i could think of really. Stuff like 'There is no Greek or Jew' and 'God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them'. How do you think you done?!?!?!? I reckon i should be able to get an A overall for christianity and i'm hoping to absolutely ACE my Islam paper - Hoping for and overall A*.. And good luck with the rest of your exams man..

The inequality question was a 6 mark question.. If my memory serves me correctly it asked: 'Describe some attitudes christians might have towards the role of men and women' not too sure if it was roles of men and women in society or just in general but yeah..

[john4896]

I was thinking of the 3 mark question on how Christians might challenge inequality but still Are you taking the full course? The whole of our course revolves around Christianity I took the B603 in January and got an A:-) Am I right in thinking that the B601&2 are a lot harder than the the other units?

Agreed.. Now it's all about the philosophy unit and then it's ALL OVER!!! + i was pleasantly surprised to discover that the grade boundaries are as follows: A* = 80% A= 70% etc.. (and the grade boundaries don't change unlike other subjects!!!!)
Prior to that i had been worrying over the how to get as many marks as possible because my teachers had been lying to me over the past 2 years (they said an A* was 90%) but now i can relax.. At least up until results day!!!

[john4896]

Are you sure? On my paper in January I was given 44/48 and was awarded an A, 1 of an A* Where did you hear about that?

[lebron_23]

I am sure of this. Very sure.. My teacher showed me the link in class and i'm pretty sure that it was from the OCR website.. I shall look for it for you

[lebron_23]

Okay perhaps i was wrong HAHA here are the grade boundaries for 2012 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anthology-Po...7&sr=8-1-fkmr0
And even if you got 44/48 (which is 91%) you should have by all means got an A*. Was it a real exam, or just a mock, for if it was a real exam i strongly suggest you get your paper remarked!!

[john4896]

Thanks, it was the B603 unit in January, I suppose it is too late now;/ The link you sent is to a poetry revision guide, which has reminded me of next weeks exam

[john4896]

Please could you send me a link to the page on the OCR website, I have thoroughly looked but couldn't find anything

i thought that the grade boundaries were lower only because it was the first year for the new style of paper :/ they may go up ahhhh! depending on how the whole country does

In that case.. Here's hoping the whole country doesn't do too well...
In the nicest way possible x)

I hope the philosophy paper is just as nice

[john4896]

Do you have that link, and as evil as it sounds I hope the country doesn't boss the papers or they'll move it up to 45/48 for an A* like they did with the first unit

[lebron_23]

Ooopss.. I apologise LOL haha here is the link for the exams
http://www.ocr.org.uk/download/admin..._grd_bound.pdf
It may take a bit of scrolling down to find.. It's somewhere near the bottom under GCSE Religious Studies

[john4896]

Thanks, but it only shows the ums, I was kind off hoping for a mark to ums converter but thank you anyway

Hehe. I didn't really put any quotes, for the majority of the questions (especially on the ones regarding animal testing) I just wrote about agapae and, if we are made in God's image, we should bear some resemblence to Omnibenevolence.etc.etc.
