    Hi! I'm taking this exam too. I'm quite nervous but I think I'm quite well prepared. Good Luck!
    I'm hoping that there won't be too many tough 6 mark questions. Do you know a lot of quotes to include?

( its like blue and white) There are quite a few useful quotes in there if you want be to list them?. What topics are you picking? Im doing:

    Places of worship
    Pilgrimage

    Well, I've learnt all of the topics at school apart from pilgrimage but I haven't decided which one I won't do in the exam yet. I suppose I'll see which questions I feel more comfortable answering. It will probably be authority and leadership that I leave out or maybe practices and belongings.

    I've memorised quite a few quotes - and yes, I do have the the blue and white book.
    I do sometimes struggle with timings and often it can be difficult thinking of opposing points in the six mark questions. How have you been taught to tackle them? Our teacher always says that we should include:
    2x religious arguments
    3x arguments for
    3x arguments against
    1x opinion/our point of view.

    Don't be worried! I'm sure you'll do really well! What religions do you study?

    There is one more but they do not have it on the AQA website. I'm sure that's enough anyway - there are lots of questions you can practice in the blue and white book as well.

    You know for the 3 and six mark questions(i know its more quality than quantity) but how much should you write round about?
    Also, for the 6 mark question do you also refer back to the points you made for the for arguments when doing the against arguments?

    Sorry about so many questions! :P

    You don't have to refer back in the 6 marks and in the 3 marks I think you literally just need to be able to mention three points and briefly explain them. Good Luck!
