I reckon the anthology extract will be the Leila Ahmed one as it's the only extract that has not been in specimen or the real papers. Then, the 20 marker from this could talk about the role of women in Islam or something along the lines of secularisation. Also, Pre-Islamic Arabia and the Sunni & Shia split may also come up as they weren't explicitly mentioned last year? But as there's so many topics within Islam, it's hard to realistically guess what will come up

Also for the other two papers last year they had religious language and Kant as Anthology and they did the same this year. They had Jihad last year we may also get it but we may also get something else - they’re so unpredictable 😭
There’s so many things within each topic they can ask us on and since we’re only the second year sitting the exam it’s even harder to make predictions. Exams like biology are so much easier as each topic is fairly specific.
Best thing to do is make sure you have a good amount of knowledge on every topic and good luck to everyone!

I wish I could share the notes I have with you all but I can’t unfortunately they don’t belong to me. Feel free to ask my anything specific though and I can try my best to help for example if you need help with a specific part of a topic
