Don’t worry at all I’m pretty sure we’re all doing the same (at least I am lol). We defo have sufficient time, just focus on the near future :smile:

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else sat the Buddhism paper on Tuesday?
Which questions did you pick and how did you find it?!

Yeah, I picked
- examine types of meditation, importance of meditation
- examine the Buddha's awakening / enlightenment, the four sights are more important than the Buddha's awakening.

The meditation went alright I think, the second when absolutely sh*t...pure waffeling the whole time.

Hbu? What did you pick and what did you write about?

Same here! Have Maths on the 12th and 14th too so it's just been really rubbish. Definitely failing both. If they gave us more than a day between exams, we would all perform better.

Literally completely same with me! What did you talk about - for the four sights one I just waffled so much

Original post by hollie1210

I did! I picked the meditation Q from the first section I didn’t mind those but thought the second section was awful... I went with the four sights/awakening question hby??

Honestly i dont blame you! There's just way too much content for us to memorise. Essentially it's 72 topics in total as we have 24 per component. Plus revision for all our other exams too. Its just too demanding.
Good luck anyways for all your exams, and to everyone else as well!

I did question 1 it was difficult the compulsory questions were bit mean. Don't worry about it a lot of people did 2 instead telling me 1 was harder :lol:

. Ah yes i was about to do that question but instead did 5
Yeah overall it was okay could have been better :redface:

I picked question 2, I mucked up the A02 at the start and manage to draw the conclusion into the question. Then I did question 5, which was an absolute dream. Couldn't of asked for a better set of questions.

The AO1s were lovely; couldn't be more unhappy with my answers for the AO2s though :frown:

. I did questions 2 and 5, and found it hard to write enough in the time tbh! Pretty sure I lost marks on the AO2s deffo

Agreed the AO1's were good. The AO2's were vague which is annoying. Timing is always a problems i managed to finish in time but yeah should be like 10 mins longer. DW about AO2's your not expected to mention everything and you wont be discredited for your response I'm sure you have done fine :yep:
