These critical essay plans helped in me achieving 107/120 (A*) in my ethics paper, averaging 36/40 per question. These are comprehensive, critical essay plans, covering all aspects of topics in religion and ethics. The detail in this plan provides a variety of approaches that can be taken when writing an essay regarding any topic in ethics. The essay plans are generally applicable to a wide range of questions as well as being able to be tailored to an essay focusing specifically on an ethical /meta-ethical theory. The content in this document, if correct links are made, can be used to answer many essay Qs in the following topics, accessing level 5/6 bands for AO1 and AO2 when writing essays.

This document provides brief and extensive revision points for preparing and writing high quality A* or 36-40/40 mark essays in examinations. It provides examples of how to tackle highly engaging questions, that may require students to draw up and reflect knowledge from more than one topic. Furthermore, I have provided detailed analysis on essay responses with major AO2 critiques and criticisms (with explanations). This has been done specifically for: Design Argument, verification principle, MBS (Mind, Body and Soul) and Ontological Argument. As majority of these topics did not appear in 2019 papers, it would be excellent preparation in achieving in A* in the philosophy of religion paper. The content delivered in these documents are structured to meet demands of OCR, but can equally be useful for AQA, other examination boards testing religious studies/philosophy through predominantly essay writing.
