The Science Behind It
This resource is built around retrieval practice and the science of learning:
• Spaced and interleaved practice – revisits key content from both faiths in small chunks across 11 quizzes to strengthen long-term memory.
• Low-stakes testing – creates a positive recall environment where pupils practise without pressure, building confidence for formal assessments.
• Repetition and varied recall – alternating question styles support deep retention of sacred writings, terminology, and exam phrasing.
• Interleaved topics – Islam and Christianity are mixed purposefully to promote flexible thinking and help students compare, contrast, and apply beliefs effectively.

Ideal For:
• AQA GCSE Religious Studies (Paper 1: Beliefs and Teachings)
• Year 10 or 11 revision and retrieval
• Learn Now or starter activities
• Homework or low-stakes quizzes
• Teacher assessment of recall and understanding
