I have devised a mock exam for Christianity with novel questions not yet asked by the official specification (I’ve mapped where there were gaps in the questions Dec 2023)
The feedback sheet is forensic with suggested content and feedback against success criteria (more student friendly) as well as the exam rubric (for teacher use in marking).
It uses a BEAD structure (Beliefs, Evidence, Actions, Decision).
I will upload a corresponding placemat that follows this structure.
Presented in PPT format on A4 to create A3 folded booklets like the exam.

The front slide is for students to have in their books.
The following slides guides you through how to use the sheet.

It has sentence starters and suggestions for where to find evidence and actions.
It is fully adaptable so if Judasim isn’t your second religion, you can replace it.
