So I found this on the AQA website (you may have already seen it). It is basically what happened last year with grade boundaries, and percentages of people who got certain grades.
Hiya! I put this in the A Level exam thread directory (which you can find here) use it to find discussions about your other exams Let me know if I've missed one out or if you make a discussion thread yourself!

From what I have seen, I predict that the 15 markers will be:
Epistemology: Direct Realism / Indirect Realism / Idealism (They asked only one question from perception last year). Philosophy of Religion: Ontological / Is the concept of God coherent / Religious Language meaningful (less likely to be existence of God due to last year's paper).
Please do NOT take my predictions seriously. This is just what I am guessing from what I have seen of papers, etc.
That's really amazingo... 90+ is what I'm aiming for and the exam is a week tomorrow and I seriously just want to cry because I'm not prepared
Thank you and good luck! Don't worry, last year I thought I knew nothing before the exam. I am sure you will do amazing. Are you hoping to continue with it next year?

Yeah I am I do really enjoy learning philosophy I'm just so overwhelmed with the sheer amount of content you need to know for the exam
There is a lot of content! Much less than for history though: now THAT is a nightmare.
Ah I'm grateful that I don't do both then just wondering though, how did you find it best to revise philosophy? (With all the many different arguments and premises etc)

I find reading the texts on the anthology is the best way to make sure that you know the arguments inside and out. The textbook summaries aren't really an adequate substitute. Other than that, whatever works for you!

I literally can't get past a D, revising isn't working I don't really know what to do. How do you revise this subject? You can't be brief about anything so revision notes/flashcards/mindmaps aren't helpful

I know what you mean, you really need to know everything to do well... I have found however that flashcards are good for me if you basically make a tonne so that you include all the specifics and details that you need to know. Flashcards are good because they're small bits of important information that you can test yourself on quickly, so you basically learn all the wording you need. HOWEVER, actually making all these flashcards is what is getting me down because it takes quite a while and the exam is literally in a week If it's really last minute then I suggest just sitting down and learning all the premises and conclusion arguments that you need.
