Religious Studies 4610 試験対策

よくあるミス

1. 1high影響する配点: 10Section B part (b)

   Leaving out explicit engagement with other aspects of human experience in Section B part (b).

   回避方法: Decide your human experience example before you start Section B, and name it directly in your opening sentence. Without it, the whole response is capped at Band 2, a maximum of 10 out of 25.
2. 2high影響する配点: 8AO2 evaluation

   Writing a descriptive, narrative account in an AO2 part (b) instead of a sustained evaluative argument.

   回避方法: State a position, set out a real counter-argument or scholarly objection, then reach a conclusion. Retelling the topic is not the same as testing it.
3. 3high影響する配点: 6Question focus

   Writing a pre-prepared "stock" essay that answers a general topic rather than the specific quote or prompt given.

   回避方法: Underline the exact wording of the question before you start, and check off every element it asks for, not just the topic area.
4. 4medium影響する配点: 4Scholarly evidence

   Naming a scholar such as Conzelmann, Hick, or Swinburne without stating what they actually argued.

   回避方法: Give the scholar's specific claim in one sentence before you use their name to support or challenge a point.
5. 5medium影響する配点: 4Question focus

   Treating a dual-element question, for example one asking about "purpose and meaning", by answering only the first half in depth.

   回避方法: Give both elements roughly equal space. Plan your answer against both halves of the question before you write.
6. 6medium影響する配点: 6Time management

   Over-writing on Section A and rushing the Section B part (b) essay as a result.

   回避方法: Time each 25-mark part at 20 minutes and check your watch after each part, not just at the end of each question.
7. 7medium影響する配点: 3Specialist vocabulary

   Not defining key technical terms, such as deontology or mysterium tremendum, at the start of an AO1 answer.

   回避方法: Open each essay with a one-sentence definition of the central term the question is built around.
8. 8low影響する配点: 3Section B part (b)

   Assuming human experience examples must be modern and secular.

   回避方法: Historical, multi-faith, and older examples count equally well, as long as they are specific and directly connected to your point.
