GCSE MODEL ANSWERS ISLAM PRACTICES Full Set AQA

Full set of questions exam style questions and model answers for the AQA A GCSE programme - Islam Practices. Fully updated in August 2025 line with the changes for this year’s exams. All topics include:

• 2 x 1 mark multiple choice questions
• 1 x 1 mark ‘give/name’ question
• 1 x 4 mark question
• 1 x 6 mark question
• 1 x 12 mark question
• Full set of model answers

Model answers include prompts for peer assessment or teacher guidance, building consistent structural patterns that will ensure success for your students. Students can use these answers to help them to navigate the tricky details of what each question style is asking of them. I have worked for the AQA exam board twice as a summer examiner and achieved consistently high accuracy scores in my marking feedback. These answers are written in line with the system I used to ensure I marked candidate responses in line with the guidance.

Everything you need for excellence and confidence with exam style questions is here. PDF and editable Word version included.
