GCE Religious Education 2046
Structured biblical study, Christian ethical application and respectful religious comparisons, based on seven verified 2046 extracts; the supplied 2009 extract appears to be 2044/2.
The papers
Paper 1
Biblical accounts and applied religious understanding
The 2017 and 2018 papers require four equal-weight questions, including one from each of three sections; the 2022 extract uses the same 25-mark question pattern. Earlier verified papers require five questions across two sections, so follow the instructions on the paper you sit. Questions combine biblical knowledge, explanation, application to Zambian life and comparisons with other traditions.
