AQA A2 RST3A and RST4A - 6th June + 14th June respectively

Essentially yes, though its relevance may be diminished on other sides of the syllabus.

Thanks, was going to use them if a question comes up about afterlife, because it cannot be verified it's not meaningful to discuss

Can we counter argue the fact that it can't be verified with the fact that if the afterlife is a non-physical place then it will be incompatible with scientific methods? So it makes sense that there's no evidence but lack of evidence doesn't have to mean it doesn't exist?

Of course, you can counter argue anything which makes sense and is relevant

can someone please explain to me the principle of crudity and testimony by Swinburne please?

How did people find the Religious Experience questions?


Posted from TSR Mobile

I found 09 pretty hard could only write 3 pages 10 I wrote 4

Paper was decent, was hoping for eschatology/present life. ^^

How much raw marks are needed for an A at A2?

I got 188/200 UMS for AS

I thought that was a really good paper - I did the one on nature of life. For the religious bit on the first question, I talked about Christianity - how man was created, how humanity was imperfect (Augustine and Irenaeus) and the idea that man can redeem themselves. I also talked a bit about the dualistic nature but not sure if that was relevant. I talked about Islam and Buddhism there. For the secular bit, talked about existentialism, humanism, marxism, nihilism, altruism, hedonism and materialism - pretty much all the -isms.

Second bit - initially thought it was difficult but as I got into the swing of things it was okay. I wrote that religious beliefs were more positive in terms of the afterlife (that there was a Heaven and Hell) - I did write more but I've completely forgotten what, despite the exam being only a few hours ago.

Prayed for the nature question to come up and it did - I'm happy with that. Hope you guys did well too!
