Hi!
I am aiming for an 7-8 in R.S and I am doing:
Theme A: Relationships and families.
Theme B: Religion and life.
Theme C: The existence of God and revelation.
Theme D: Religion, peace and conflict.


I have not revised anything and would love to know about any websites (or videos) that could help.

I have heard people say Ben wardle on youtube is a good way of revision as he gives agree and disagree points. I have not started revision either but I am mainly learning from the text book and doing past paper questions. I hope this helps
Any predicted questions

He litch covers content with quotes and examples. Icl he was my only source of revision and I banged the test. So much love to him:colondollar:
How is everyone feeling for tomorrow? :sly:
Like my hand is gonna commit death because of the fact I have to write 4 12 markers. But also slightly unprepared. I neglected themes over religion.

Heya! I’m in the same boat as you, here are some good sites that I’ve been using:

For quotes (this only has themes A,B, and D):
https://ecclesfield-school.com/download/163/1d221b429074a9f9e754f4eab6ad16b8/

THEME A revision:
Long video but lots of good info, he’s got all the other themes as well:

This revision booklet is also very good for a quick skim through:

THEME B:
https://woodham.org.uk/pdf/Revision/Y10_pc1_0922/2223_y10_pc1_rs_theme_b_religion_and_life.pdf

THEME C:
Legit nothing, it’s the hardest one yet not too much on the Internet. Use a textbook, or find ‘Ben Wardle Theme C AQA Rs GCSE’

THEME D:
https://roytoncrompton.e-act.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/03/Theme-D-Revision-guide.pdf

That’s all I got for you, so sorry it’s not much, but good luck tomorrow, you got this! And good luck to all x

It just means two different beliefs. They can be from the same or different religion. For example, on a question about contrasting beliefs on abortion, you could say: Catholics belive that abortion is wrong........
More liberal Christians believe that it is acceptable in certain situations...

you can do 2 contrasting beleifs within christianity or 2 contrasting beleifs with in islam but the safest option which my teacher always tells us to do is to do 2 contrasting beleif between the 2 religions (eg one beleif in christianity and a contrasting beleif from islam

You have to talk about religions. Beliefs in contemporary British society means current beliefs in Britain.

No there’s no mark scheme for them sorry, it’s just to formulate answers to them as a challenge.
