Same here! I like RE but I feel that some of the course is unnecessary. They released the revision guide in MARCH this year (it's on Amazon). Absolute joke.

Quite a difficult course with a lot of content. Revision guide and textbook was released very late, do not know the effect on the grade boundaries. Please let me know your thoughts regarding the grade boundaries given to you by school. For my school, they are:

9- 92%
8- 88%
7- 81%
6- 74%
5- 66%
4- 58%
3- 49%

They seem a bit high considering the late release of the textbook and revision guide plus the lack of resources and the great amount of content.

My school set the grade 9 at 97% and not one person in our year has ever achieved a grade 9. I got 95% so hopefully, that sets me up for a chance in the real thing.

I did actually manage to get a 9 with 94% for the Origins and Meaning and Good and Evil paper. If you have any resources, could you please share and let me know if there is anything you need. Which test did you manage to get 95% in?

My teacher found some unofficial revision guides online however one of them was removed I think. I got an 7 in my mocks thanks to them :smile:

Your grade boundaries seem quite high mine are:
9-95%
8-85%
7-75%
6-65%
5- 55%
4- 45%
etc...
But from the sample answers particularly in the textbook, it doesn't require massive scripture learning to get a decent grade.
