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!)
