GCSE Religious Studies Revision Guide
The aim of this guide is to help you revise and improve your exam skills so that you gain the
highest possible grade.
You should read the section on exam questions and techniques so that you know what type of
questions are asked by AQA and what sort of answers are expected.
You should then work through the 2 sections of this booklet, using your exercise books and
the kerboodle online textbook to help you.
Exam Questions and Techniques
The exam paper is divided into 2 sections and lasts for 1 hour & 45 minutes (for Catholic
Christianity and Judaism papers together)
In each section of the paper you will have to answer one 5 part question:
Section One: Roman Catholic Beliefs
Section Two: Roman Catholic Practices
Types of questions
All the questions have part (1) for 1 mark, part (2) for 2 marks, part (3) for 4 marks, part (4)
for 5 marks and part (5) for 12 marks.
Part (1) questions
These questions will be multiple choice and worth one mark. You simply have to choose the
correct answer.
Part (2) questions
These questions are worth two marks and the buzz words will be ‘give/state two.’ For
this you simply have to state two things (two words is fine/bullet points).
Part (3) questions
These questions are worth 4 marks. The buzz words here are ‘explain two’. For this you are
required to give two developed points, each in its own paragraph. (a good way to develop a
point is to link it to an example – Point Evidence Explain).
Part (4) questions
These questions are worth 5 marks. Again the buzz words are ‘explain two’. To get the 5
marks you have to give two developed points with reference to Jewish teaching for the
fifth mark. Again, your points should be in separate paragraphs.
Part (5) questions
Question 5: these are your AO2 questions and here you are required to evaluate. You will
always be given a statement and underneath this it will ask you to evaluate it. In your
answers you should:
• Give developed arguments to support the statement
• Give developed arguments to support a different point of view
• Refer to Catholic Christian teaching
• Reach a justified conclusion
For this we would look for you to give two reasons for (2 PEE points), two reasons against (2
PEE points) and a personal conclusion with one PEE point. Your reference to Catholic teaching
should be incorporated into your paragraphs.
This question is worth 12 marks and in the beliefs section there are 3 possible SPAG marks
available.
REMEMBER
There are some useful
websites listed on Show My
Homework which will allow
you to watch videos about
many of the set topics
(including Judaism and
Themes papers).
REMEMBER
Don’t wait for your teacher
to set you exam questions.
Keep practising at home
and handing them in for
marking to help you
improve.

What happens on the 7th day in Genesis 1?
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. GENESIS 2:4-25
When and how is man (Adam) made in Genesis 2?
Is woman (Eve) created at the same time as man in Genesis 2? How is she made?
When is the rest of creation made in Genesis 2?

responsibility for God’s earth means that human beings … must respect the
laws of nature” Pope Francis in Laudato Si
List the ways locally, nationally and globally that Catholics can show stewardship
CAFOD focuses on sustainability as a form of stewardship. Using CC p.32/33
explain what sustainability is and how CAFOD show this in their actions.
MEMORY POINT: THERE ARE DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN VIEWS/INTERPRETATIONS
OF THE CREATION ACCOUNTS IN GENESIS.
(CC Page 24/25)
Fundamentalists do not believe the Bible Many Christians, including Catholics don’t
should be interpreted and should be taken believe that the Bible should be taken
literally. This is because …….. literally, and believe the Creation stories
are …….
“Creation continued for …millennia… until it became which we know today,
precisely because God is not … a conjurer, but the Creator who gives being
to all things. The beginning of the world is not the work of chaos … but
derives directly from a supreme Origin that creates out of love. The Big
Bang…does not contradict the divine act of creating, but rather requires it.
The evolution of nature does not contrast with the idea of Creation, as
evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve” Pope Francis 2014INCARNATION
Incarnation means
Annunciation means
MEMORY POINT: As Christians we are taught about the meaning and importance of the
incarnation in the three gospel accounts of Matthew, Luke and John.
Why is the presence of
the angel significant?
Who else is this
message directed at?
(Think about God’s
covenant with the Jews)
What does the name Jesus mean and why is it significant? CC Page 36-37
What does the story show about the importance of Mary?CC Page 38-39 What does this show about the nature and importance of Joseph? What is the importance of Jesus? How are Luke and Matthew’s accounts similar? Are they different in any ways?
Using CC pages 40-41 highlight the key quotes from John and annotate around to
explain what they mean
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was
made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was
the light of all mankind
14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1:1-4, 14)

Redemption means
Atonement means
Although Jesus was the Son of God he suffered as a human through his crucifixion before
rising to life. By accepting death on the cross, Jesus was fulfilling Old Testament
prophecies. Even when he was suffering he forgave his executioners and promised the thief
who admitted his wrongdoing that he would join Jesus in heaven.

‘I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and
everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” John 11THE WORK OF THE CHURCH
Christians are taught to love their neighbour. This can be shown
in many ways today, and is at the root of Catholic Social Teaching (CST).

tell us about Catholic Social Teaching and the treatment of others? Read the phrases below
and explain how they help Catholics understand their responsibility to the poor.
“Every social group must take account of the needs and legitimate aspirations of other
groups, and even of the general welfare of the entire human family.”
“There must be made available to all men everything necessary for leading a life truly
human, such as food, clothing, and shelter”
GAUDIUM ET SPES 26THE PARABLE OF THE SHEEP & THE GOATS
When the Son of Man comes in glory, he will sit on his __________________.
All nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from
another as a __________________ separates the sheep from the goats. He will

How do Pope Francis’ words
“It is my duty to build bridges support the idea(s) above?
and to help all men and women, in
any way possible, to do the same ….
The contemporary world, with its
open wounds which affect so many
of our brothers and sisters,
demands that we confront every
form of polarisation which would
divide it … into two camps.”Many Catholic charities seek to put into action Jesus’ teachings, especially those telling us to
help the disadvantaged. As it says in 1 John:
Make notes/highlight the notes on the

CAFOD (Christianity page 62/62 or CC page 165)
TROCAIRE was established by the Catholic Church in 1973 as a way for Irish people
to donate to development and emergency relief overseas. Their ideal is to support the
most vulnerable people in the developing world, while also raising awareness of
injustice and global poverty in Ireland.
They provide humanitarian assistance and long-term support to communities in over 20
countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Each year
approximately 2.6 million people directly benefited from their overseas programmes.
In Ireland, they raise awareness about the root causes of poverty and inequality, and
campaign on justice issues.
MISSIO
Since 1922, Missio has been the Catholic Church's official charity for overseas mission. They
aim to bring the hope of the Gospel where there is turmoil, poverty and uncertainty in the
world, and where the Church is new, young or poor.
Missio empowers local people to form and sustain communities of faith and they train future
leaders so that the vital work of the Church in the world can take place. Many of the
priests/religious live with and help the poor, often risking their own lives.
One of the main things Missio do is to fund the training of new priests and sisters so that are
more of them to help with the faith/spiritual development of Catholics. This means that in
remote areas Catholics are more likely to be able to receive the Eucharist.Mission is …
.
Evangelism is …..
Missionaries are ….
The Church not only helps the disadvantaged but seeks to spread the good news of Jesus to
non-believers.
These are some of the last words
that Jesus gave to his disciples,
and they sum up the mission of the
Church.
This can happen locally and nationally through the Alpha course
(Christianity page 55)
‘Follow me and I
will make you
fishers of men’
How is the work of Missio a way of showing mission and
evangelism globally?
If you have time look at
the work of Catholic
MissionSVP is an international Catholic charity. It was started in 1833 by students in Paris. It has
nearly 60,000 members worldwide who work in small groups at a local level. This means they
are a charity that works locally.
Their main aim is to give practical help to individual people in need. SVP’s members attend
local meetings that start with prayer and Bible readings.
Use CC page 135 to explain two ways SVP seek to help those in need on a local level
“May we carry gifts to the poor and, to the rich, words
of gratitude.”
Blessed Frederic Ozanam - SVP‛s FounderPax Christi was founded by Catholic Christians in France in 1945 to
promote reconciliation with the German people after the Second World
War.
Their vision is for a world where people can live in peace, free from the
fear of violence in any form.
By 2015 there were over 100 Pax Christi organisations in 59 countries
around the world.
Members draw strength and encouragement from the Bible and the
teachings of the Catholic Church. Inspired by the teachings of Christ
and the church, Pax Christi members work tirelessly for peace in their
homes and families, their communities and places of work, and in the
wider world.
Members seek to promote peace through:
• Attending anti-war protests in major cities
• Speaking out against the illicit (forbidden) arms trade by
supporting international actions to control the sale of arms
• Engaging in dialogue and discussion with others
• Raising awareness of human rights through letter-writing
campaigns
• Giving speeches or meeting with communities and governments
where they live
‘Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children
of God.‛
