Eduqas Religious Studies A Level

Was wondering if anyone had a good online resource for the Eduqas Religious Studies AO2/evaluation points? I can't find anything online and I don't own all the textbooks

Some points you can use for AO2 are on the spec for example with meta ethics theres a section for AO1 challenges for many topics so these can be used in AO2 questions, it's important to remember that any valid AO2 answer is credited - in my AS exams I actually never revised specific points for AO2 still getting full UMS as I used some relevant challenges that were in the spec and the rest were literally what I thought some people might 'believe', also useful to discuss different topics again in meta ethics a challenge for naturalism may be intuitionism vise versa. This is why there are no specific resources other then example essays in textbooks (which I never found helpful tbh) if you aren't confident thinking on your feet in an exam try writing essay plans for points you may use but this will take time. Some points are more obvious then others think outside the box add something relevant to the topic and you will be credited! I do WJEC which is pretty much identical so any specific topics you're struggling to think of points for I will try and give you some!

Thank you so much! Now that I think about it I was getting better grades on the essays where I was thinking off the top of my head than when I tried to memorize the AO2 points lol...

No problem, look at AO2 as something fun because you can literally say anything with some relevance and its enjoyable to debate something ahah. Good luck!
