GCSE RE AQA EXAM PRACTICE PAPER THEME C- EXISTENCE OF GOD AND REVELATION

A great way to finish a topic with pupils being taken through an exam paper with the teacher. Rather than just give pupils the answer, the powerpoint gives prompts in the form of pictures or direct questions before suggested answers are revealed.
The 1 mark question also uses revision to define all 4 terms. There are exam tips, suggested answers; also, useful terminology and quotes are weaved in to the powerpoint.

The 12 mark question uses hints and tips to draw out arguments on both sides of the argument so the pupils can then choose which arguments they would use.

It then presents some sample paragraghs as starting points for discussion.

This works before giving pupils an exam paper to do on their own or as a test. The questions are as follows:

1 Which one of the following describes God as all-knowing?
[1 mark] A Omnipotent B Personal C Omniscient D Impersonal

2 Give two reasons why some people believe that God does not exist. (2)

3 Explain two contrasting views about the strengths of the First Cause argument for the existence of God. In your answer you must refer to one or more religious traditions. (4)

4- Explain two beliefs about nature as a source of knowledge about the divine. Refer to sacred writings or another source of religious belief and teaching in your answer.

5 ‘God cannot be both transcendent (beyond the world) and immanent (within the world).’
Evaluate this statement.

In your answer you: should give reasoned arguments in support of this statement should give reasoned arguments to support a different point of view should refer to religious arguments may refer to non-religious arguments should reach a justified conclusion.
