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

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:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S8kMjD7MC-g
This revision booklet is also very good for a quick skim through:
https://shenleyacademy.e-act.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/03/Theme-A-Revision-guide.pdf

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
