--- Quote from: anat0my on November 03, 2015, 08:28:52 pm ---I'll give in my 2cents - I'd recommend going over all the exegesis, as you won't know which passage will come up, so that way you will be prepared for anything that does come up. Also make sure to go over the themes and try make links between the themes into a possible exam question. (I did this and happened to predict an exam question!). Most importantly try and complete a practice exam (you can try to create your own) in the allocated time given. You want to make sure you're able to write the 3 essays to completion and not run out of time. Also make sure to read through the assessor's reports for general insight/advice.
In regard to study score estimates, I can't say for sure, but if you obtain an A+ for the exam (which is actually quite doable) you're definitely in the running for a 40+ SS. Don't worry much about the marks though. Concentrate on delivering 3 killer essays :) Best of luck!

Thank you! I've been reading most examiners reports and picked up things my teacher hasn't bothered explaining ( didn't even know we had to put theological terms in our essay until today !)

Sardothienn:
@bangalilok; thank you for the advice; I think I'll be doing plans/ skeletons under each practice exam question instead of write the whole essay as it's quite time consuming and writing  too much strains my hand; yeah right now by just reading my notes I feel like I'm not studying efficiently so looks like I'll be planning out/ jotting notes for all AOS's including the essays exegisis/ extended responses

Sardothienn:
I was trying to answer Part B of 2014 exam Q7 but I'm not sure on how to approach it;
It's for The Quran section

"Discuss how reward and punishment in the Hereafter are related to the idea of divine justice and guidance"

The question I feel only refers to one set text (Maryam) but only briefly, how would I go about answering this question?

Sardothienn:
In the criteria sheet for exegesis ( significance to the original community) is it okay if we link this with themes or literary devices; how these particular things impacted the original community? Or do we have to talk about how the passage given in general impacted the original community? So far throughout all my exegesis' I've been linking literary terms and themes to the way it has impacted the original community but my teacher told me its best if I just talk about how the overall passage affected the community. I feel as though this way is too simplistic and you get marked on the level of sophistication so I was wondering what is the best approach?

Can you give any examples?  I'm not totally sure what you mean.

Remember that if you get too caught up in small details without looking at how overall it impacts the community, then that's being 'unsophisticated' in itself because you're missing the big picture, the big overall message.  How I did it was explain impact of specific details throughout, and then 'zoom out' with more general explanations (e.g. 'The fact that an outcast receives salvation would encourage Luke's primarily Hellenistic audience that they too could be saved....' and all that nonsense) in my last paragraph.
