my first exam is computing science and i still need to finish my coursework D:
Any predictions for Higher Modern Studies essays and also any predictions for Higher English Drama Essays? If anyone needs help with any Higher Physics ask me! I think for modies:

H&W: Government tackling inequalities. Factors for inequalities (12)
DM@CG:Influence of groups outside government. Voting systems. Voting behaviour (12)
USA: Checks & Balances. Progress of disadvantaged group (20)
Original post by Higherdude
That + ethnic minorities > American Dream may come up.
Also a question on devolution is a maybe.

My Modern Studies predictions..
Devolved decision making- Potentially conflict/cooperation between local and national govt..
Wealth and Health inequalities- Potentially factors that influence health, and something to do with government provisions..
Electoral Systems- definitely think there will be a voting behaviour question as there has not been one for ages!

International Issues(USA)- government policies, or checks and balances on the President.

What are your thoughts? Oh and what do you think for the DME? :smile:


This. I have no clue about the report tho mate.
Ignore these, you're doing the new higher.

Apparently with Modern Studies they are trying to match up the questions with the new Higher so it may be similar (obvs just for the parts with the same topics etc) but thats what my teacher thinks anyway :smile:

I sat higher Modern Studies last year and got an B! I didn't finish BOTH papers :redface:

I predicted the full paper. Study all the topics, I did that. But, I have a feeling voting behaviour and American Dream.
Good luck to all the candidates sitting the new and old AV/Higher/Nat5 exam.
You'll all do great!

I also am taking Higher Modern studies which is my last exam.

I am not exactly sure. My modern studies teacher didnt want to predict anything. I would think if American dream came up that would be pretty cool and it might happen? But you never know. Voting behaviour could come up but they are quite unpredictable in that section. You are talking about the old higher right? Im pretty confused with whats going on with the new highers lol.

What's everyone's first exam? Mine is history which shouldn't be too bad it's just a case of remembering everything :/


Mine is Nat 5 physics then Nat 5 music (which runs during lunchtime) not looking forward to having S1s prying in the windows of the exam hall

I would bet a fair amount about voting behaviour coming up, and if The American Dream did I'd be very happppy! The Dme is what I am more worried for.

Anyone have any tips with National 5 Physics and Maths? I'm not the best at them and could do with tips and tricks especially with circuits in Physics
My best advice is practice papers. And remember to check the number of marks. In physics a basic calculation is 3 marks and if your required to do something else (ie you need to times your answer by 3) do make sure you read the questions carefully. What's particularly difficult about circuits?
