    Edexcel GCSE RS: Christianity and one other religion - 15 May 2012
    Hey

    Just wondering how everyone else found the exam yesterday... I think it went OK, but I had to rush the last question . According to my friend, we couldn't talk about Christian views on arranged marriage on the last d question, so I think I might have dropped some really easy marks

    Anyways. How'd it go?

    It said you must make reference to one religion other than Christianity, so if you talked about lots of different religious view points, including Christianity, you will probably be fine. Well, I hope so, that's what I've done!!

    I think this exam was pretty easy but I had no idea what to write for the last media question so I wrote about catholics in the news still not allowing women to be priests LOL

    I took one look at the media question and immediately decided I didn't want to do it That might, however, have proved to be the wrong decision, as I don't think "liberal protestants could argue that the similarities between Christianity and other religions like Islam means inter faith marriage is acceptable" really counts as a referance to another religion

    I thought that the first question on paper 2 part C on both questions would be really hard if you didn't know much/anything about either of the parables. I think it was either My Brothers Keeper parable or the parable of the Sheep and the Goats. How did everyone find that one??

    It was in the second paper. But not too sure if the other option was about a parable :L

    oh yes! was that about all religions should accept interfaith marriages? i said yes they should accept because of religious pluralism and stuff but i do remember thinking oh i was going to put christian views and then realising you can't so if you wrote about christianity you may have lost the marks It's only 3 marks if you did so i wouldnt worry about it!
