Guys, for a quote for the roles of children, I said that in a hadith it says, "Respect your parents and God will grant you honour" But I was trying to say the quote "He who is good to his parents, blessings be upon him"
Do I still get the mark?

Help! There was a 4 or 5 marker (I can’t remember) about why religious people would support victims of war/organisations
I do Christianity and Buddhism
I referenced Caritas because I thought they helped victims of war but everyone is telling me they don’t. I feel awful!

I would think so, it's quite close but you never know

The teachers aren’t allowed see the paper. If they do they risk all of their students grades being brought into question. The security for the exam papers is very tight. There are a whole list of security requirements that a centre has to adhere to before they are allowed to be an examination centre. These include things like a lockable cupboard with no windows inside a room that can also be locked. And only two people are allowed to have the keys.

Papers are delivered not long before the exam is due. This is to stop teachers reading it and ‘teaching to the test'. If a centre breaks or deviates from these rules (and yes there are external checks and any unusual results will lead to an investigation of a centre’s procedures) then they lose the right to be an exam centre and risk all students who took the exam that day there being disqualified. At the very least, once the discrepancy is discovered, the students will all be expected to sit a different exam on a different day and the one they just sat considered invalid.

So hopefully she didn’t help all her students by reading the paper and teaching you all the answers!

shes a very strict teacher when it comes to teaching, so really i dont know maybe it was a coincidence maybe it wasnt and maybe im just overthinking it and exaggerating. But if anything did happen in that case we'll just have to find out 🤷*♀️

Sounds suspicious to me but could be a coincidence. Did this happen on the same day as the exam?

misunderstood in what way? if you just did it backwards eg read it as 'married couples can use contraception' then i dont think they can dock too many points as long as your argument is still balanced and you bring up the same points you would for the actual question, you just wont be able to get full marks
