Chances of asking for a specific area such as Significant person, ethics or practice ???



I was told to prepare to write all 3 in 1 essay. I have wrote an essay on it and currently practicing writing all 3. But I don't want to start panicking when the question only asks for 1 area.... What are the chances of asking 1 area only ?????

you might as well ask us questions like the meaning and purpose of life, because nobody will know.
however in all honesty and in my opinion, I think it will probably be another extract one and they will TELL us to do all 3 or something.

Me too because my SOR teacher was full teaching us to incorporate all 3. I think there is a high possibility that it'll be all 3.


He's a senior SOR coordinator btw - HSC marker.

From 2007 to 2009, they were focused on a point in the syllabus. But 2010 was a bit different as it asked for how the religion affects adherents; I guess this would cover all aspects of what is usually covered in Section 2.

But really, you've got to know everything to do well in SOR1.

2009 and 2010 asked a question to incorporate all 3.

This is going to be a confusing topic. Some Depth Studies asked for an overall impact (ie. use all 3), others asked for a focus on 1. Special emphasis on and/or in the questions, so whilst you can focus on all 3, you can still focus on 1.

lol so true. I would rather over-prepared for 3, than be under prepared.

Short-medium response questions are almost always questions on singular topics, which means that chances of the essay combining all 3 topics of your other religion
You're better off knowing your shit on all 3 and from there you'll be able to incorporate them into a single essay based of the question

Chances are high it will be like the last few years and incorporate 2-3 of the areas studied in the depth study, but I think there is a chance they could ask for a specific area. (if they ask anything about mohummad for Islam I am fucked. Lol)

If it says to discuss significant person only, would it be alright to mention ethics and marriage if the person has taught in that area also ?

does sor1 and sor 2 get the same extended responses?
The SoR2 paper is the SoR1 paper + Religion and non-religion, Religion and peace and you have to do an extra short answer religious depth study thingy.
