A friendly intro before the formal notes — no formulas yet.
Worship — how to approach it
This is the outline for Worship: what the syllabus asks for and how to practise it. The full illustrated lesson is still being written.
Until it is, a past-paper question is the fastest teacher: attempt one, read the mark scheme, and notice exactly what earns each mark.
- 1
Read the syllabus point and list the key terms it names
- 2
Attempt one real past-paper question on Worship
- 3
Mark it strictly against the official scheme
- 4
Re-read only the marks you lost, then try a second question
