Umm, i'm doing religion and life (Christianity), community cohesion, marriage and family and life after death on Tuesday-good luck! :biggrin:


Oh my god theres actually other people doing the same rs syllabus as our school!
Apparently hardly anyone does the christianity stuff. How are you finding revision, the book is really useful! Good luck to you too! :wink:
I swear if I dedicated the amount of time I spend on TSR to revision I'd be a lot less panicky.

Yeah, I found it pretty helpful. :') Once you learn the skills and just the general 'examiners tips' it gets easier and you sorta' know what to do to get the marks :') good luck! It'll all be over in less than 24 hours. :tongue:
