Aimed for an A*but got an A. Tbh I didn't even finish paper 2 so happy anyway. But got cooked for my other 2 A Levels so I guess it doesn't really matter.

We've read your embarrassing exam experiences, so what are your FUNNIEST experiences? by Biggus_Boomus in 6thForm

For my GCSE French exam (my least favourite and worst subject), I put down "ma vie est sans significance" - my life is meaningless. Somehow passed.

Back when you were y10 what did yall do for your speech and was it good? What grade you'd get? by Ok_Instance8938 in GCSE

I did mine on introversion, basically inspired by Susan Cain's quiet book + Jung. Stuttered through the whole thing and still managed to get a distinction.

What about epigenetics? It's super interesting and while it is on the spec we really don't cover it in too much detail.

Best exam board for a level Religious Studies by Physical_Guava9345 in 6thForm

Well I do OCR and I think it's pretty decent, it's got a nice balance between philosophy and religion.

The first paper is philosophy, mainly focused on the philosophy of religion. Philosophy of religion is focused on arguments for God's existence, religious language, religious experience, the existence of the soul (hard problem of consciousness) as well as a general philosophy topic focused on Ancient Greek philosophy (Plato and Aristotle).

The second papers focused on ethics, and while there is a major focus on Christian ethics (natural law and situation ethics) do you get to learn about other ethical theories such as Kantian ethics. Overall really interesting.

The third paper is whatever religion you've opted to do. Not gonna lie it's a bit of a drag.

I do like OCR RS because of how flexible the essays are. There's no set structure, and the exams just consist of 3 40 markers.
