Exam tips

1
Use a short teaching from the Guru Granth Sahib and explain its meaning rather than leaving the quotation unexplained.
2
Link each feature to a practice and its religious importance: the takht raises the Guru Granth Sahib above the congregation, expressing respect for the living Guru.
3
Distinguish the akhand path from an ordinary reading: the whole Guru Granth Sahib is read continuously, day and night, in approximately 48 hours.
