Don't
- Leave out religion on the 6 mark question
- Merely state a quote with no explanation
- Spend too much time on one question
- Make up quotes
- Make up sources for quotes (e.g my Dad. They must be verifiable)
- Pretend to be a different religion (especially if you know very little about that religion! You know who you are...)
- Use your time to rant about something barely related and depressing (just answer the question)
- Pick apart the question rather than answer it (you will not get any marks for this!)
