WJEC Religious Education Exam Board?
If so, please do say state.
Utterly petrified, what do I do?
Aiming for an A*, not sure if I will achieve it.
Oh, and if one has a sensible point to the answer but it is not on the mark scheme, will marks be deducted?
If the whole of the examination paper is answered with quotes, will I be disadvantaged?
Someone soon respond, please.

I do AQA R.s so I am unsure of how it translates a 6 marker for us is usually 2-3 PEEL paragraphs.
P: Some [Insert religion] believe...
E: They believe this because the [Insert holy text] "...."

Good Luck!

I can predict that the keywords are going to be Section 1: Atheism, Numinous or Omnipotent. Section 2: Resurrection, Sanctity of Life or Voluntary Euthanasia. Section 3: Cohabitation, Pre Marital Sex or Re-marriage. Section 4: Multi Ethnic Society, Multi Faith Society or Racism. Literally went through all the past papers and those are the only ones which haven't been asked. Keywords are not too hard, but those 2 marks can make a difference. :smile:

8 marker - 4 brief reasons

6 marker - 3 brief points for, 3 against.

Good luck. :smile:

I'm scared.

I'm bad at RE.
I haven't even finished Community Cohesion.

Can I just fail this paper?
I'll do well in the Unit 8 one, as I've revised fully.

I'm hoping it's easy for the first 3 sections, as I've fully covered those.
Plus, I can BS my way in the community cohesion section and get a few marks, especially from the 4 mark, which is just your opinion.

I despise RE.

I'm not worried for Sociology, though.

I'm not so bad on unit 1 but I don't even know the topics in unit 8! Please someone tell me I'm not the only one. I'm so stressed I can't sleep and I'm meant to get up at 6 tomorrow.

I'm glad someone feels the same way.
I've worked my ass revising Unit 1, and it's so time consuming and hard to remember.

I haven't even finished Community Cohesion.
I'm going to cram tomorrow morning.
