In the Common Entrance exam, each religion will have five questions to choose from.  Each is worth five marks.  You will have to answer any four questions.  You can pick all four from one religion if you want.  You should try to write five or six lines explaining each answer, giving as much factual detail as possible (aim for 8 - 10 different points).  Think in bullet points; write in sentences!

Although these revision notes should give you enough factual information to be able to tackle the questions in the exam, you may need to interpret what you know.
Think before you start writing, and make sure that you really answer the question.
