I'm taking the RE qualification in a few weeks time and have practised different questions. However,I can't seem to find any past papers and I don't understand the layout of the exam.(I don't understand which questions there will be for example if there will be 3 3mark questions in christianity paper 1 or if there will be 2 3 mark questions) Any help would be appreciated.(I'm taking Christianity and Islam)

b) 3 marks
c) 3 marks
d) 6 marks
e) 15 (or 18) marks
and for the two hour exam, there are four questions, each structured like:
a) 3 marks
b) 6 marks
c) 6 marks
d) 15 (or 18) marks
there are some sample assessment materials on the website also
hope this helps and best of luck for your exams! x

Thank you sm for your help! I actually understand now😄. So for each one hour exam I would just be doing what you said twice in the same paper right? So 10 questions on Christianity only in 1 hour and the same for Islam?

I don't do either of those but i know how you feel with timings.
My advice would be practice some questions and time yourself (set an alarm) and before you answer the question, spend a few minutes planning via bullet-points what you need to include.
If that makes sense?

Lol you can get 15 marks with one page of writing trust me. Don’t overwork your answer cuz it needs to be to the point and you’ll just bore the examiner

Philosophy should be fine, the first paper can bring awkward questions

When two or three are gathered I am here
Go forth and baptise the nations
For God so loved the world He gave his only son
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all the creation
As I have loved you so you must love one another
The eyes of the lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer
This is my body for you eat this in remembrance of me
Every act of goodness is charity (Hadith)
O believers! When the call is made for prayer on Friday hurry toward the remembrance of allah
