Okay there were some new question types in the (b) type questions, particularly asking for beliefs/teachings in the Bible directly. The (d) questions were a mixture; Question 4;d was the only question that allowed you to use non-Christian arguments, so was the easiest one in my opinion. Question 2;d was the one I struggled with the most and didn't manage to complete nor write a conclusion for. The other two I managed to squeeze in a conclusion. I found writing an "appraisal" for each argument quite difficult to fit into the time limit and ended up spending the first 40 minutes, just on Question 1, before realising my errors and rushing through the remaining sections, completing parts of the 12/15 markers before moving on. Overall it wasn't that bad of an exam in my opinion, a lot of the topics that came up last year resurfaced as less demanding questions, however the wording for some of the questions was questionable and the questions didn't give you a lot of leeway for open-ended responses, which is different from what we've seen from last year. Was it harder than the 2018 exam? Yes.
