I really hate unit 8, it's so hard and very boring.
However, the first paper went alright but it was harder than all past papers because this paper had some really stupid questions...

Don't worry. Everyone in my school found it hard so hopefully the grade boundaries should be low. What grade are you aiming for?

What other religions have y'all studied apart from Christianity? We have been taught about Islam at my school.

I'd be damned if the grade boundries go low, the last grade boundries for last year was ridiculous, it was like 72%for a bloddy C.

I meant it like for the questions which require you to refer to a religion other than Christianity, which out of Islam/Buddhism/Sikhism/Judaism etc. have you chosen?

Tips
Just litrally read through an information booklet if you have one given by the school. Highlight the ones that you dont know and leave the ones that you do remember. Remember you can do this litrally before the exam ,but if you have extra time on your hand, go do a past test paper, like not fully but bullet point each question ,so like the 8 marker, just jot down 3/4 points and just go, 4 marker jot 2 points and boom. Then go on the mark scheme and correct or add. litrally thats what i done for the Unit 1,few hours before the exam, and the exam questions i done, a similar question came up on monday and i already knew what the answere was with only a few seconds. this is the master way trust me.

It's hard to make predictions, the exam board are not consistent
