Hi got a 9 in GCSE AQA Religious Studies (marks 184/204). I would reccommend to anyone who wants a secured grade 9, 4 things:
1) Use BEN WARDLE youtube channel
2) Use the AQA SPECIFICATION and ensure you know atleast 2 beliefs & a quote for each topic listed
3) Try atleast 1 past paper & LOOK/MEMORISE MARK SCHEMES for past papers (usually the same questiuons come up like what happened in my exams)
4) GET these highly detailed notes: https://www.stuvia.com/en-gb/user/GCSEMastery (Scroll down a bit, they have RS, Geo & Combined science). They have notes with quotes, beliefs, it contains absolutely everything you need for a 9
Hope this helps anyone struggling 🙂

Hopefully you did great or there are low grade boundaries. This GCSE is now over though so you should move on.

None because it’s fine to only reference one religion it says that in the question

You can use 2 denominations of Christianity, if relevant.
