How is everyone feeling, I'm okay with Rsi just need to remember a bit more SOWA but then I'm fine, now I'm mostly doing paper because I've understood all the topic I'm making it by myself because my teacher take ages to mark it, I'm predicted a grade 8 hopefully I can get that, praying grade boundary wouldn't be too high,. Good luck all

I see, I haven’t done RS for a while and I didn’t do Edexcel so that’s why I’m asking.

worst re question that edexcel have ever made yet

Reply 14

the 1B 12-15 markers were all pretty decent imo; the last one was on symbolism but you could easily link in other stuff.
were any of the questions that bad on the other papers?

Bruh fr like the first question saying how the nature of God is seen through the creation story I wanted to put the 3 omnis however that’s just stating characteristics rather than saying how they are seen so I put like creating the heavens and the earths etc but people said they put 3 omni’s so I’m not sure

Wrong paper

I found it quite easy most of them my teacher predicted the only questions that trow me off was how Christians respond to charity and how leader work together but I'm confident I get decent marks. Lot of people didn't finich it because they ran out of time
