What on earth does "Synoptic" mean? It makes the exam sound very complicated!

Glad to hear you're confident of your result!
Thanks Tom. I can get into BB a bit more now that all the exams are done.

The synoptic question was basically a mixture of two subjects, for me the 50 mark question was to compare and contrast religious and ethical language and whether or not they are meaningul.I had two different teachers for RE, Mr.Kingston taught philosophy of religion which came under the religious language part and Mrs Wilcox taught ethics so it was split between those two basically.

I was not so sure of the synoptic question beforehand but I'd revised the different arguements for religious and ethical language and then concluded it which I think should be good enough. As other schools teach different topics for the synoptic question we had a question sheet with about 30 different questions and only two were relevant to what we had learnt . I wasted about 5 minutes just reading through all the questions to find most were about the old and new testament.
