5th Year
In support of Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2015, Apprenticeships in Scotland have launched their Scottish Apprenticeships Online Magazine to help our senior pupils with their next steps. The magazine features some of the largest employers in the UK, case studies of their apprentices, exam help, CV and Cover letter templates and Interview help, this magazine is a great career resource for all pupils and their parents.
A series of targetted study sessions have been arranged for all Advanced Higher, Higher, Intermediate 2, Intermediate 1 and National 5 courses.
Students are encouraged to attend as many of the study sessions as they can.
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.
