Flashcards for OCR GCSE Religious Studies (J625), split into the two component groups and then by religion or religious perspective. Component Group 1 has one subdeck per religion studied, each split into beliefs and teachings and practices. Component Group 2 has one subdeck per religious perspective, each split into its four themes. Delete or suspend the religions and perspective your course does not take.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
