    I've got this exam but I'm more concentrated on my history exam so I haven't been really focused on this exam

    looking around the past papers, all the E question topics arent likely to come up again...
    so that could reduce how much u learn

    The philosophy exams seem harder to revise for than the ethics ones, not as much evidence to commit to memory and have ready to explain in the exam. How's everyone else doing it? I've just been reading the revision guide and making notes where I can. I preferred getting tested on the philosophy ones in class as I could figure things out as I went along, but now that it's the real exam I'd rather be preparing but I'm not sure how to ^^

    hey guys it seems like you guys are finding it difficult to find quotes so I thought I'd try and help you out.
    I made notes on Good and Evil as well as Religion and Science and I also made a table of quotes for each which might help :P

    Religious and Spiritual experience is a shocker, 5 quotes I have! What if prayer comes up or even worse music??????? I thought Philosophy would be easier than Ethics but at least with Ethics all you had to do was memorise quotes. Now I'll be writing PE paragraphs in this exam, some serious internet browsing going on tomorrow I think.

    Hey, my teacher told us to structure it like this:
    D) 3 simple points, with something to back it up, so that's 3 points with 3 pieces of evidence, which makes up 6 marks
    E) 3 arguments for (general or religious), 3 arguments against (general or religious), religious view (the religion you are studying) and our personal view

    I think Philosophy will be much easier than the Ethics. The ethics one went terrible for me. I mean, "State two types of racism" WTH?
