Practice papers with model solutions

Papers scoped to what has been taught

The papers above are scoped by grade band. These are scoped by teaching point instead: each one leaves out content a student at that stage has not met yet, so a mock in the middle of the course tests what has actually been covered.

These bands are a typical teaching order, not a syllabus rule. No exam board defines what belongs to Year 10, and schools sequence the course differently. Check the split against your own scheme of work before using it to decide what a class has covered. Unlike an AS/A2 split, no GCSE Religious Studies specification states what a Year 10 class has covered by a given date - this is a scheme-of-work choice each school makes on its own, and it genuinely varies: some departments finish both religions well inside Year 10 and start a theme early, others are still teaching the second religion's practice topics into the start of Year 11. I am most confident that the two thematic units (relationships-families, crime-punishment) come last, since thematic answers need both religions' beliefs already taught. I am least confident about exactly where within the two religions a given school's Year 10 actually stops - islam-five-pillars and islam-festivals (often the last content taught before the themes begin) are the topics most likely to fall on either side of the Year 10/Year 11 boundary depending on the school's pace. Treat this split as a reasonable default for generating a lower-difficulty paper, not as a fact about any specific school's real timetable.
