Hey Everyone,

I am in Year 11 and am going to do my SOR 1 prelim exams soon. I was wondering whether anyone has any good tips and what the most important things I should study that I can use for the exam, to achieve a high mark?

Also, does anyone have any past prelim papers for SOR 1?... (The new syllabus is making it hard to find them).

Thanks in advance,
Coolmate ;)

Hey Guys! Just did a mock exam at home and I came across this very confusing question from the sor2 2017 paper: ‘ how has the desire for personal fulfillment or ethical guidance affected the rise of new religious expressions and spiritualities? ‘

How are we supposed to prepare for a question and write this? I looked at the answer but I got a complete blank when I looked at that sample answer.

I am by no means an expert but I am studying the Victorian equivalent of this subject. I had a somewhat similar question on my exam and I got full marks on it. (The question was more specifically related to the desire for personal fulfilment and ethical guidance, the former part of your question.) I wrote about how religion comes about as a response to the distinct way that humans search for meaning in their lives. I wrote about how since the beginning of time, humans have used religion to provide guidance and create meaning within their societies through the aspects of religion. (Used the example of primal Aboriginal Australian religions.)

I guess that you could extend this response by discussing how as society evolves and moves forward, people search for and create new systems of belief in line with more modern societal values and understanding.

Hopefully, someone with more knowledge than me might also jump in and give you some suggestions, specifically in how to prepare for this sort of question.

Hi all so I have my trials next week and I'm wanting to create scaffolds for the essays (I do SOR1), but I'm stuck on how I would actually structure an essay.

If the essay was on one syllabus point (e.g. Judaism bioethics), how would I structure my essay? Would it be on 3 principal beliefs or something else?

Thanks :)
