    Because I think it's the most useful outside school (barr maths). :p Especially for your CV too, if you can write good and catch the person's attention, your bound to have a higher chance of getting the job.

    Well, as long as you aren't under the illusion that paper 2 should actually be included... Because it shouldn't. The stuff SHOULD be studied, but not tested on, imo.

    Polyaistic means you believe in more than one God XD. You learn that in religion :rolleyes:. You sure you don't need any help or exam techniques? I found them very useful when I got told about them. :)

    For reading comperhension and all the unseen stuff, read the questions first, and UNDERLINE keywords. Then, quickly scan through the passage and underline anything that you think is revelent to the question, even if you think you are wrong, write it down! Especially if it's an opinion question, I messed up on a reading comperhension question once (The Darwin one, q2) and I got full marks because it was opinion so there was no right or wrong answer.

    For every 5 marks, write one paragraph. Also, I reconmmend doing the personal writing first at the start of paper one because it's worth 70marks, but don't spend too long on it, 45mins max! :)

    I don't like giving tips, I feel like if you follow it and don't do well, I can be held responsible. All I'll say is, I always do Islam.

    Making the essay on the spot also works, but I suggest learning some phrases. I know people who didn't learn an essay and they came out with Bs and As for English :). I hated that Darwin comperhension, if it comes up, I might aswell skip the entire section.

    I can't believe that tomorrow we'll be doing the JC since it's after 00am ; D I'm so stressed but I want to get it over with. The only subject I'm afraid I'll get a B on is french. I think I'm okay on the others ;)

    I literally feel like I know more about Islam than I do about Christianity because of those essays! :rolleyes:

    I did good on my essay in the pre's too! It's all about just stating the facts and throwing waffle around them tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 245 ✭✭Pwee2029


    I really like the essay part of the religion exam. There's so much to write depending on the question. And there is also a variety of questions to pick!

    To be honest, I feel sorry for those who do honours irish and french. They seem to be difficult :v

    I like the religion exam apart from Section 4. I think it's just way too demanding for an exam like that and awfully mundane to do.

    I honestly don't see why people find Irish that hard - puzzles me. French is a bit tough alright, especially the writing :eek:

    Irish is mad hard for me... makes no sense at all.
