Next week sees the start of the S3 exams. Over the next fortnight our S3 will get their first experience of examinations. They will sit a selection of single period assessments in their subject at the level they are currently studying.
The exams will give the S3 an opportunity to practise their exam technique under timed conditions. Some of the exams will take place in the exam hall in Ralston currently being used for the ‘real’ SQA exams.
The National Parent Forum of Scotland has produced Revision in a Nutshell guides for the new Highers (20 subjects) and updated Revision guides for National 5s (20 subjects). These revision guides contain direct links to SQA specimen question papers, exemplar question papers plus past question papers, where appropriate. The guides advise learners to check with their teachers to make sure that material is relevant. The guides are primarily intended to provide the SQA direct links by subject in one place, and to give some additional revision opportunities.
