my teacher was really brief in teaching us about philosophy and its from the islamic perspective. Im a muslim but they way the exam board wants it, is really vague. Plus, im just going to cram in all the keywords tomorrow and learn the basic concepts like, the responses to belief on the soul...blah blah


I think at this point, you might as well read mark schemes because similar overlapping theme come up every year...plus just think about the different viewpoints and try and think of different examples.
Im going to end up failing the exam with the little prep ive done...but hopefully ill manage to get a B, its philosophy-you can wirte a lot of rubbish and still get marks as long as its justified and supported and well argued

I'm doing the Christianity course so I'm not sure how much relates, but I think I'm just going to make sure I know some key bible quotes and key people and I should be able to struggle through!
Good idea about past mark schemes though

tbh, quotes are not a must but as long as you can paraphrase or reference them, then its fine...

Most of the ones to use for Christianity are along the lines of everyone being equal so that's easy!!
