What examiners said
This was a well answered question, with most candidates demonstrating clear knowledge of the contents of the Apostles’ Creed.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0490/13 Q2(a)(i) (Cambridge)
This question was not well answered, with many candidates demonstrating limited knowledge about what the Apostles’ Creed is; not knowing what it is clearly makes it challenging to demonstrate understanding of why it is important. A common error was to suggest that it must be important because it was written by people who knew Jesus personally.
— Examiner report, October/November 2022, 0490/13 Q2(b) (Cambridge)
Responses which were able to paraphrase the stories in the Gospels and could organise these in a sequential way, scored highly. Weaker responses needed to present a wider range of material rather than describing one or two events very briefly. The question narrowed down the content to ‘in Bethlehem’. Candidates need not refer to events before or after this time.
