Year 10 Mock Exam Feedback- Unit 2- Religion and Authority, Unit 3- Religion and Conflict

This week you will be receiving feedback from your Year 10 Mock Examination paper.

In your feedback you will receive generic information that many of you have been doing/not doing in your exam papers, such as:

  • Avoid using the words- some religions or they… be specific about which religion says what.
  • Use evidence- either from the Quran/Bible- or religious teachings from the Hadith/Saints/Prophets/Jesus/Mohammad/Parables/Stories/Books from the Bible-Genesis etc.
  • Link it within paragraphs- Point/Evidence- and then explanations- this means/so this shows/this evidences/demonstrates…
  • Always link back to the question- show you have an understanding of what is being asked?
  • Are you clear about the differences between Ao1 and Ao2… which questions have which requirement?
  • Do you use your time wisely?
  • Can the examiner read your writing?
  • Have you written enough? Too much? Did you make it clear when you asked for more paper, which question you were answering and where you were continuing/starting from
  • When mentioning Christianity- make sure you mention which denominations- Roman Catholics/Anglicans/Quakers/Church of England.
  • Ensure you know the difference between key specialist language; Use specialist language as often as you can. Show you understand the meanings of these terms/words.
  • Do not use one word answers.
  • Do not write the question in your answer. E.G ‘A religious believer may believe…’
  • Watch your spelling!

Please remember the difference of answers required from Ao1 questions- A, (2marks) B, (4marks) D(6marks) and Ao2 questions- C,(4marks) E, (8marks).

Also, remember that your Year 10 examination has one unit that was taught to you in Year 9- Religious Expression. We are currently studying your final unit- Religion and Medicine.

 

You need to consider how much revision you completed? What the gaps in your knowledge are? Why? How will you make up for it?

I will be arranging individual meetings to go through exam feedback with you over the next two weeks too.

 

I will not be giving you exam grades. I will only be telling you how many marks off the next grades you were…

Total mark is 53 with 5 marks awarded to just one of the part e (8 mark) answers.

(24 marks a unit remember!)

A*= 47

A=42

B=37

C=32

D= 27

E=22

F=17

G=12
