See thats sensible, I on the other hand crammed. It worked for my prelim which was harder and I got full marks in it too!

I'm sure you'll get an A, but anyway I give you luck and hope you get an A

Paper 1 was lovely. Paper 2 was horrible a work of the devil! The last question was pretty nasty. It was one of those questions where a tiny mistakes just drags you down further and futher into the relms of the Earth's motlen Iron core..... *slight exaggeration* but it was hard.

I took the paper home with all my answers on it and marked it against a mark scheme which someone had uploaded and I managed to get 95.4% and... wait for it.... the last question completely right!

Do you start 5th year before the Summer?

How come you took home the paper with your answers on it? Wow, that's great! Any advice for getting an A next year at Higher? Textbooks, revision techniques? How much work did you put in to Higher Maths ?

I feel as if a huge weight is off my shoulders, exams are over! It'll be nice just not to have to work so hard anymore.

And yeah, I move back into S5 on the 5th June. Next week I have some senior induction day where we learn 'skills'.. slightly pointless. I hope we don't have to get through Unit 1 in any subjects, I'm not stocking up on textbooks until the end of Summer!

Really? I've taken them for all the subjects with a separate question and answer book. They offered me them at points!

I still don't get why they all left so early... Ha that's true. I suppose. I'm still scrubbing at the ink up the side of my last two fingers.

I don't get why people leave early, either. Common sense would say if you were stuck to spend all the time you could!

If you stay till the end of the exam you're allowed to take the question paper out with you. When I check over I do the paper again on the question paper so that I don't ruin my working on my answer sheet. So I took that home and compared to a marking scheme which some genius has produced. I'm pretty sure you are allowed to do the same for Int 2/ Standard Grade.

For maths I would just reccomend the Heinemann Higher Maths textbook. The school probably gives you this. If you work through and try not to forget the stuff you learnt earlier you will be fine. Past papers are a big must too, I googled something like Higher past papers questions in google and I managed to somehow land myself on past papers from 1989! Higher maths is actually quite enjoyable especially calculus, logs and exponetials. The Invergordon website has loads of materials too.

I'm so happy as well! It's great to be able to do anything and not have that guilty feeling of having an exam soon.

I have no idea about what textbooks to buy for Higher!

Aha!
What with that and your other (biology?) thread there seems to be someone out there with a standard grade grudge.

I'm just giving them to third year that I know. I did the same with my maths stuff last year. They're the last kids that will get any use out of them!

I'm going to try nab some of the 6th years books.
I'll probably get the "How to Pass..." books again because I really like them but I'll wait and see what the teachers recommend.

What subjects did you take this year? From seeing you around all the Scottish forums I'm presuming you did Maths, English, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and History! What about the rest? How many subjects did you do in total?

I did 8 subjects this year in total. The 6 you mentioned plus Art&Design and French. What about you? Guessing you took Maths, History, English, French, Chemistry, Physics. I think you also mentioned PE but I'm not sure? I just looked at the side bit on the right and realised your from Edinburgh as well. Do you do Pathways to Professions?

I shall be going to the surgical event with a friend. I also went to the choices event with the same friend. There were 3 others from our school but they were doing the ones about law, architecture and vet med.

Haha, it's a small world! Both of you may actually rememeber me, I was the girl who kept asking questions about banding, whether univeristies considered each element of the standard grades and genereally loads of questions when hardly anyone else asked any

Did any of you ask any questions? There was one or two other people who asked question about medicine at that event. Did both of you go with friends or by yourself?

I may, I may. It depends because it starts at 2 and I don't get out of school until 12.25! I told the Pathways organiser that I'd be interested in doing it though.
