How to Revise for GCSE R.E.!

Heyyy everyone
I'm usually more of a STEM person so essay subjects have always been my weakness and I'm really struggling with RE at the moment. 🙃
Does anyone have any tips on how to revise for it and get higher grades? (I'm going to year 11)
Thanks in advance!

The most important thing is to memorise the quotes as well as key points.

Quotes are really important because it limits your grade if you don't include them. I definitely didn't start early enough when I did it this year but repetition of the content to make sure you fully understand it helps. I found it useful to ask my teacher for a set way to structure each answer so that you only have to concentrate on the content in the exam. Definitely look through a paper because plenty of people missed the last section because they didn't know it was there.
Hope this helps
