Best exam board for Religious Studies? Please help

And by best, I mean easiest- I think it’d be best if it was an IGCSE board since all my other exams are IGCSE, but anyway I’m looking for the least amount of content or the least in depth content. I’m gonna be registering for May/June 2019, so I don’t have much time to learn everything. I want an A* in it and it seems like the easiest thing to go for since I want an essay facilitating subject, I’ve been in catholic and islamic schools etc.

Best tips for revising it would be appreciated too! Thank you.

by best i mean best in the opinion of students and by worst i mean worst in the opinion of examiners :smile:

any other opinions?

Are you sure you don't have an eidetic memory? There's a great deal of depth in the B course. I barely revised too, but instead of coasting through that sh*t, I got f**ked in the exam as a result (I was with AQA B).

I have heard AQA is genuinely a hard exam board- did you have any subjects that you felt didn't need all that much attention to get a good grade in?

Business studies is definitely one. If you're a proficient writer and comfortable with analysing literature, then English language is another good one. The difficulty of any GCSE course is mostly subjective really – just like with beauty – it's in the eyes of the beholder (one of my friends said that PE was quite easy). I truly recommend business studies for an easy ride though.
