SQA Announcement: SQA provides revision support for learners taking National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher exams
SQA has published revision support advice to help learners prepare for this year's exams, given the significant disruption to learning and teaching they have experienced due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. School staff will use this information as part of their lesson planning and communicate any changes with their learners.
Revision support advice is now fully available on the SQA website (or via our website page: ) for all courses that have an exam and is tailored to each course, including:
- Advance notice of content that will or will not be in the exam - For some courses, they have published information on which broad topics, contexts or content will or will not be in this year's exam. This will help learners to plan their revision and focus more on the parts of the course that will be in the exam, though learners can still use their knowledge of other parts of the course when developing their answers to questions.
- Study guides - For some courses, they have published study guides to help learners practice answering exam questions. These give hints and tips on how to approach different types of questions, including how to gain marks.
- Study notes (learners' own) - In a small number of courses, learners will be allowed to prepare a short study note that they can take with them into the exam.
SQA have indicated that these support resources have been developed with subject specialist teachers to ensure that you and your learners find them useful. They hope that, together with the significant modifications made to the course assessments at the start of the session, this support helps to relieve some of the worry and stress learners may be feeling as they prepare to sit formal exams.
