Staring at a blank page when revision time hits can be daunting, especially when you’re trying to figure out how to balance Knowledge, Analysis, and Evaluation under exam pressure. Whether you’re tackling World Religions, Morality, or Religious and Philosophical Questions (RPQ), turning your revision around doesn’t mean memorising entire essays word-for-word.

You say that for a 10-mark question:
“Your essay should follow the format KKKAA KKKAA KKKAA. This is giving the potential for 9 KU marks and 6 Analysis marks so should cover your bases.”
I like this a lot. One wee danger, though, is that youngsters see that “9” and think “excellent – I can get an A1 if I make 9 knowledge points”. They have to be reminded that SQA marking guidance states: “a maximum of 6 marks are available for knowledge and understanding that is relevant to both the question and the answer.”
