AQA Religious Studies Unit 4: Life, Death and Beyond

Hi guys, I just wanted to clarify something as the specification on AQA didn't really answer the question:
On the Unit 4 paper there are two questions each with two parts and one of the questions is about human nature and the other is about life after death, is that right?
Or could both questions be about one section?
The spec's new so there aren't too many sample papers.

Well that's annoying, thought I'd found a revision short-cut...
Just going to have to stop being lazy I suppose.

Good luck on Wednesday :smile:

nope, there are 2 questions on the paper each with two parts. But you will never know what the question will be about. They will pick two topics out of the 4, like last year they asked one question about nature and value of life and another one afterlife.

Sooooo frustrating, wish there were more resources for this paper on the AQA website.
The spec seems so vague as well.

I agree so much, terrible unit and it's stupid that we have to do it
worst course on AQA by a mile...and there's probably only like 3 centres that do it

We do it and it sucks! I reckon that Eschatology will probably come up + perhaps the nature + value of human life with an ao2 on the importance of human life.. So that's probably what my last minute cramming will be based on!

Hmm, i think it's likely to be a question on apocalyptic teachings and end times. So happy about the Americans who predicted the end of the world a couple of weeks ago... LDB Gold! x

GUYS!!

okay so TWO topics are gnna comeup... lets just say "Nature & Value" and "Importance of life and beyond"
Under EACH topic ther'll be TWO questions... an A01 and A02
Is that right?

My teacher says its like this: e.g in the SAME question the A01 might be about "Nature and Value" and A02 might be on "Importance of life and beyond"

so ALL 4 topics could come up.... i dont think thats right...

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!! =D

It could do that but it's unlikely, it's more probable that they'll keep the topics together and just have a crossover with Area C and D as they're practically the same x

Yeah unit 4 sucks man i hardly have any stuff to revise from, also do any of you's reckon that eschatology will come up? where the question may ask about that specifically over something like life death and beyond..cause im good on the LDB stuff and i want that to come up but if it asks me just on eschatolgy then im screwed as i only know islamic point of views on that..not really revised anything on the rapture etc

raptureready.com is good for a slightly obscure :/ christian perspective
I think eschatology will come up - the parables from the synoptics are quite good for that

I thought the exam was really good, the questions I thought which was gonna be on, was. Eschatology was fairly easy, the other not so but I obviously didn't answer that so yno!

I'm so annoyed!! I did the eschatology & apocalyptic questions because I didn't like the sound of the importance of present life question...apparently this was just nature and value though?!

Damn AQA wording questions in such an awkward way!

It was sort of, the importance of life & value of life are very very similar!

What did you write for the eschatology one?

What is everyone predicting for this year's AQA life, death and beyond paper?Would really appreciate everyone's thoughts as struggling a lot with this topic.
