Hi @genz14

To effectively revise for your long course GCSE Religious Studies and aim for a Grade 9, start by familiarizing yourself with the syllabus to understand the key topics, including beliefs, practices, and ethical issues in the religions you study. Utilize your GCSE RS textbooks and consider revision guides specific to your exam board (e.g., AQA, Edexcel) for concise summaries and exam tips. Online resources like Seneca Learning, Revision World, and YouTube channels such as “The Religious Studies Guru” can also provide interactive quizzes and helpful video content. Regularly practice past exam papers to become familiar with the exam format and develop your exam technique. Creating mind maps and flashcards for key terms can enhance retention, while group study sessions with classmates can deepen your understanding through discussion and quizzing each other. Additionally, plan your revision with a timetable to cover all syllabus areas and set specific goals. Staying engaged by connecting your learning to current events or personal experiences can further enhance your motivation. By using these strategies and resources, you’ll be well-prepared to achieve that Grade 9!
