AQA GCSE Religious Studies Paper 1 (8062/ 11-17) - 15th May 2023 [Exam Chat]

The Christianity paper was really difficult! I had to rewrite the Tearfund one because I read the question wrong, and I also calculated the timings wrong, so I was 10mins behind. But the Buddhism paper was relatively good. How did you guys find it?

how'd u get a 9? like wats ur technique with revising/knowing content? Because no matter how much i learn a topic, i never know enough

I didn't really revise for it, my teacher made my class do a lot of practice papers though so that helped. Use the edexcel book for all of the information about each topic it's really good.

For the Buddhism paper, on the question about the aim of becoming a Bodhisattva, I didn't write anything about becoming a Bodhisattva and staying in the cycle of samsara, but I only really wrote about becoming enlightened idk how much they correlate but hopefully my points have validity.

It was good but I forgot what Christian aid was. I still managed to answer it

If you got an answer down then I think you've done really well!

I actually did Christianity and Judaism it was actually good.but I messed up in the first 12 marker for Judaism everyone was talking about how the wrote tikkun olam and shabbat and how it related to God as creator sooo smart😭 but I didn't say anything about that all I did was write about him being the creator so he's respected 😭😭😭😭

that was pretty good

I think it went okay! There was a point where I didn't think I'd be able to finish the paper but I thankfully managed to complete all the questions on time!

OMG I HATED THAT QUEATION i do Sikhism though as well but the CAFOD Christian aid and tearfund question was so specific . I’d give the whole thing 7/10 questions were pretty good

it was alright! there were a couple of questions which i probably didn't do as well on as i could've (like a buddhism one on dependent arising), but overall i knew all the content and was quite glad
