World religions have spread through migration, trade routes, empires, and translation, which is why the same tradition can look different across regions while sharing common foundations.
- Review key terms (ritual, scripture, denomination, pilgrimage) before starting.
- Watch for questions that ask about differences between branches within a tradition.
- Use elimination: rule out options that don’t match the time period or region.
- Pay attention to vocabulary tied to worship spaces, leaders, and festivals.
- After each quiz, revisit questions you missed and note the concept behind them.
