Guys, I need help. In the test, it was a 12 marker about Tawhid being the most important belief for Muslims, in my against, I was talking about Shahadah and how it is whispered into a baby's ear and how without it, its shirk. Will I get it wrong

Right guys.... how did it go???

I did Christianity and Islam, it actually went okay! I just got stuck on a question about Tawhid for the 12 marker in Islam and also the CAFOD Christian Aid question really threw me off :frown: but i think it went pretty well luckily in all honesty! I managed to finish all the questions with 5 minutes to spare :wink: I’m just worried I won’t be able to get as high as my mocks but I only need a 6 or above for A-Level which I think I can get!

I like ran out of time near the end and rushed 2 of my 12 markers and didn't complete one of them and my handwriting was almost illegible
The last 12 marker on christianity and last one on islam were both horrible. If you didn't write any quotes, what is the max number of marks in 12 marker?

11 I think

The part about Shahadah and how its whispered into a baby's ear sounds right, but i dont know about the Shirk part since I have never heard of that. I know that Shirk means associating partners with God, but i dont know if you can link it with that point but who knows if u backed it up well and gave evidence then maybe examiners might be nice?
I wrote about that for my agree point and said that tawhid is important because without it shirk is committed which is a grave sin so people refrain from commiting shirk by believing in tawhid so it is the most important. Idk if this is right though

the last 12 marker on islam was absolutely awful i’m not sure how many marks you would’ve got if you didn’t use a quote though


it wasn’t awful:

ppl can’t pray at work
hajj is expensive
zakah is difficult due to cost of living crisis

The tearfund question I said they accept charitable donations and use the money towards the poor and that they travel to countries and provide resources for those in need :frown: I literally made it up on the spot
Alsoo I did so badly in the 4 marker Christian beliefs about the problem of evil, I said it influences Christians to follow Jesus' teachings and show gratitude through songs of praise and worship because Jesus defeated sin when he suffered on the cross. I know that's so embarrassing but I just went blank in the exam, I hope I still get some marks because I revised so much
