Gcse aqa a rs

hii does anyone have any good revision resources/ websites/ yt channels for rs? I do Christianity and Sikhism as my 2 religions - and I cannot find anythinggg for Sikhism online. Also how am I supposed to answer my 12 markers?? I keep getting full marks in everything else but then I end up losing 6 marks in my 12 markers 😭 , I use the for, against, evaluate structure but idk why I still lose so many marks.

Feels like a loooong time since I did my GCSEs but have you tried Bitesize if that's available for your exam board? BBC Bitesize - AQA RS - Sikhism

This might also help, found it from a quick google - Sikhism knowledge organiser AQA

Hi
I am doing AQA RS GCSE this Summer as a private candidate
Am I right in thinking I will choose two religions to study for paper 1 and choose 4 themes for paper 2?
There are some videos on YouTube and I have the CGP book, there’s past papers and mark schemes on AQA website

Yes 2 religions for paper 1 & 4 themes of your choosing. As a private student I would recommend you use BEN WARDLES youtube channel. Also, I would highly recommend checking out notes made by CSandRS on stuvia (a website for revision notes). Just search CSandRS on the stuvia search bar. They have very detailed notes for AQA spec Islam, christianity and Themes A, B, D & E. Hope this helps
