of how each exercise works.

On the other side of the flash card

explain why the exercise would help

you gain a stronger understanding of

the plot, themes and your character.

Test yourself by working out what will

be written on the other side of the card,

just by reading what is on the one you

are looking at.

Now add a specific example of a

performance decision you took based

on what you learned from the exercise.

Using spider diagrams to revise performance detail from The

a piece of A4 paper. You can use this as a starting point to learning the

quotation from the play.

How to revise for your RE exam

Timings The paper will be 1hr30min long and

you will have to answer four sections (18 marks each).

It is best to revise five topics, with one of those being a back up in case of a very difficult

You should keep ‘a mark a minute’ in mind when deciding how long to spend on answering a question. This gives you a little bit of planning and reading time

How to answer 3 mark questions

If it is an ‘explain your opinion’ question you need to DEVELOP and JUSTIFY your ideas. Give TWO reasons in response to the statement. One one developed one simple reason reason

How to answer 6 mark questions STEP 1: Read the question. It will give you a “statement” and will want you to say whether you agree or disagree with it,

giving reasons. STEP 2: Know your religious arguments (revise some key quotations / teachings – try to remember one quote for Christianity and one quote for Islam for each topic) STEP 3: Give BALANCE I agree / disagree because However, some may agree

/ disagree because Back it up with ONE Back it up with ONE DEVELOPED reason DEVELOPED reason and ONE SIMPLE reason and ONE SIMPLE reason STEP 4:

Make sure you develop your points: P - I think that…… E - This is because…… E – This means that…..

How to answer 1 mark questions

You need to give a definition (Simply learn the list of KEY WORDS that you are given)

TOP TIPS Make sure your handwriting is

legible (if it can’t be read it can’t be marked)

Be CONCISE, DIRECT and TO THE POINT

Only offer your opinion when it is asked for

The more religion is used the better BUT don’t just chuck in quotes without explaining how they apply to the question

Don’t make quotes up

Use phrases such as ‘some Christians’ and ‘some Muslims’

If you refer to God, make it clear which religion you are referring to

IDENTIFYING WHAT TO PRACTICE

NON CALCULATOR

Q Topic Max Actual %

1 Value of numbers 1 1 100%
