Scroll to see replies

when you see a question and you're like wtf, calm down, plan your points first and remember all your points don't have to link to Christianity. also sometimes the points can be sooo simple, it doesn't have to be sophisticated at all. e.g when its like how might a Christian prepare for a wedding, it could be simple as get a wedding dress (for two marks ect). and remember the whole country is doing it so different levels of points will be made. just go and do your best :smile:

I think this is just the best thing that has been said to me today!! Thanks so much!!! Golden advice!!!! Thank you so much!! Thats what I wanted to know... Like how complicated the answers need to be and whether it is all strictly according to the specification and mark scheme or if you can think outside the box!
Thank you so much!!

Oh no! I'm doing unit 2 sorry!!! Have a look on the revision section... I found it to be very useful and found some good revision material. It was for unit 1 but it had similar content to unit 2 so...

The Vicar of Dibley

Father Ted

I can remember these being mentioned. I'll let you know in more detail when I revise that section.
For evolution and design... it's the causation argument and the design argument (William Haley and the watch)
I'll elaborate later on

I haven't done a timed past paper. How have you found the timing, would you see it's an issue and would you say it's better to dive in or plan the responses?

I've just finished every single a per and I have 10 mins to spare pretty much every time, depends on how fast your write and how much detail, I'm marking my self but am hitting 85%-96% on every paper

When I first did a timed past paper in exam conditions I fount the timing to be really tight but that was because I would spend too long on one question. For this exam I would recommend that you just formulate the answer in your mind and write it down. Theres no time for planning. You can make a few brief points for the 8 markers and by brief I mean it should take less than 2 minutes. Time yourself... 20 minutes per question. If its taking longer than 20 mins... move on and come back to it at the end.
