I take themes: A,B,E,D any questions on these themes specifically I would be able to help!!
does anyone predict any particular questions? I am praying that there is no repeat of last year's 'enlightenment' 12-marker for theme C because if you don't take buddhism (like me) that's tough
Anyone got any good general

what were the questions for theme b if u can remember please!!

I can’t remember it was ages ago but I highly suggest tho that you revise everything for theme B as it’s got the most topics. Just revising the questions that will come up for your mock won’t benefit you in the long run! My advice as is to revise everything just in case bc for the real thing you have no idea what will come up

it came up on my test it was so difficult something like ' evolution was proved the religious belief of origins of life to be wrong' but im not sure if my teachers made it or not
For AQA RS I would recommend revision notes made by ' CSandRS ' on stuvia (a website with revision notes). Those are the notes I used for my GCSE and got a 9 so I would really recommend. Just memorise those notes and you will smash any exam as they have everything you need to know (eg belief, influence, importance, quotes). Just search CSandRS on the stuvia search bar.
Also, the best way to memorise the notes is by making them into ANKI flashcards OR by constantly reading over them.
I hope this helps anyone doing AQA RS 🙂
