Amendment to specification and SAM for GCSE Religious Studies
28 January 2022
We have corrected a minor error in our specification for GCSE Religious Studies (J625):
- On page 86 of the specification, we state ‘There will be 3 marks available for SPaG within components 01 to 06 and 6 marks available for SPaG in components 07 to 12.’ We've amended this to ‘There will be 3 marks available for SPaG within components 01 to 05 and 6 marks available for SPaG in components 06 to 10.’
You can view and download the corrected specification from our GCSE Religious Studies qualification page.
We have also corrected a minor error on the sample assessment materials (SAM) for Judaism Beliefs and teachings Practices (unit J625/03):
- On pages 7 and 15, Question 2 (c) we've amended ‘Why do Jews observe Shavout?’ to ‘Why do Jews observe Shavuot?’
You can view and download the corrected sample assessment material from the Assessment section of the GCSE Religious Studies qualification page.
