any advice for revising ocr a level RS?

10

does anyone have any tips for revision and for essay writing? i struggle a bit with my essay structure. as well as this, i find some of the content to be quite difficult to memorise/fully understand. i’d say philosophy is my weakest out of the whole course. i have currently been working at a B but would like to get an A (if possible)

alevelphilosophyandreligion.com has comprehensive notes for A*/A students as well as practise questions. i recommended just making essay plans and writing a paragraph for each one. as for structure there’s vids online but my teacher tells us to start with an introduction (ao1 overview) then just roughly 3 arguments and make sure to counter them - ending on ur strongest point. i can send u an A grade essay if you’d like to have a look at the structure? i also find just talking about the topics to anyone who will listen helps !!

i’m not entirely sure if you can attach photos on here. would you be okay with emailing it over to me? i could send you my email in a private message if you don’t mind!

Hello, sorry to be a pain could you also send me the A grade essay please as my teacher has never actually taught us how to write an essay lol and the tips he tells me I implement and then he marks me down for it lol. So I'm really stressed about it!!
