Flashcards for AQA GCSE Religious Studies A (8062), split into Component 1 and Component 2. Component 1 has one subdeck per religion, each split into beliefs and teachings and practices. Component 2 has one subdeck per theme, split by its own topics, including the two St Mark's Gospel textual studies themes. Delete or suspend the religions and themes 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.
