About your revision schedule for HIGHERS 2010!

Haven't started yet. Will probably start in the next few days so that I don't need to do as much last-minute revision.



Easter holidays you mean? Well, none at the moment, but then I'll probably start doing 1-2 hours a day soon.



I knew from the start they were important, but I'm fairly confident about them, so. They're not really of too much concern.

... Care to elaborate?

I'm aiming of 5 A-1s, as if you get straight A band-1s, the school mentions it on your reference, which makes you stand out.

Talking to others about academic stuff usually ends in me being very hated, but since you asked... I just don't find my Highers difficult. I can get A-1s in most of my subjects with little difficulty, so I spend my time on other things rather than revising.

Having people look through my profile boosts my ego

... But I don't understand your post. I'm not choosing A-level subjects. I'm choosing Advanced Highers next year.

There's about 4/5 people in my year who are going to get straight A-band 1s. And I did get 4 A-band 1s in prelims. Shouldn't be too hard to get the 5th (if only it wasn't in English)

That was just to try and get more replies because the "A-levels section" is busier than the "Scottish Qualifications" section. Why would I choose A-levels?

... You're confusing me. Stop contradicting yourself. I know plenty of people who got conditional offers without Advanced Highers, many of my friends are in that boat, but according to what you're posted here, you haven't even done your Highers yet! You just told me what grades you're aiming for in your Highers. That would mean the highest level of education you have COMPLETED would be standard grade/intermediate 2, which is not enough for an offer. For you to have a conditional offer, surely you must have completed your HIGHERS . Clarify this please.

When did you start revising for the May highers?

How much revision are you doing each day at the moment seeing as it is summer holidays?

Has it hit you yet how important these exams are?

This is just a general thread for discussing highers in general for 2010

Last year I only did english in the easter hols because that was the only one that i didn't get study leave for. I was lucky and had a week between all my exams, i just revised then.

I have that too haha, I think it will actually make a different to the grade I get.

I know some people with exams one day after the other, only for 2 though.

I remember Physics was the day before geography, i worked for physics and did 4 hours for geography, hence the lowly 82%...A band 2, disgusting isn't it?

...

It means you're drinking too much tea.



Yes, that is why people who are doing Advanced Highers have unconditionals, because they've satifised the entry requirements with their Highers.

Example: Fred is in S5 and has applied to Glasgow University for Engineering even though he hasn't sat his Higher exams yet. He is sitting five Highers.



A few months after sending in his UCAS application he recieves a Conditional on UCAS Track which says he has to get AABB in his Highers this year, if he get these results, he can go to university after fifth year.

Example: Glinda is in S6 and has applied to Glasgow University for Engineering. She sat her Highers last year and got AAAAC.



A few months after sending in her UCAS application she recieves an Unconditional on UCAS Track because she already has the qualifications needed for the course.

Is that more understandable now?
