Prep for the prelims

Well you have put in the work and you have managed to get your coursework completed and handed in. Well if not we will be having a conversation in the new year. The next big thing is the prelim, so how do you go about preparing for it? Well first of all make sure you have all the notes I have given you in some kind of order and that you have not lost any of them.

Past paper based revision

Using the two documents above,

  1. Answer the next 5 marks from section 1 (Remember to mark them off)
  2. Answer the next full question from section 2 (Remember to mark them off)
  3. Use the SQA site to check the answers, make a note of what you got wrong for future study.
  4. Create flash cards with the question on one side and the answer on the other.

The whole thing should take you about 40-50 minutes, you should be doing this 4-5 times a week. Don’t worry if you think that at the start it’s all computer systems, it will randomise quite quickly.
