best revision resources for N5/H/AH

Hi all!

I thought I might make a thread about the resources people use to revise to achieve their academic goals! :woo:

This thread is generally aimed at pupils doing their National 5s, Highers and Adv Highers as there are not many resources that are widely known for those, however if you are doing any other qualifications feel free to post as well!

Here on this thread you can talk about what resources help you revise (can be anything!!) and you can also ask others questions based on their subjects and level of study when you’re feeling stuck!

To get started I will mention a few great websites that I use to help me revise:

- SQA understanding standards (incredible for past papers, shows you what an exam marker expects from an answer - includes commentary)
- BBC bitesize (has loads of free revision content for N5 and H!)
- Achieve (this is a very useful website with notes, links to videos and practice questions! unfortunately it is subscription based if your school hasn’t paid for it. make sure to check if it has on https://letsachieve.co.uk/about-achieve/schools-using-achieve/ )
- Mr Marr history (great to recap key events and exam technique if you take history!)

These are just a few resources that I use that really help a lot! You can also talk about good revision guides/textbooks, yt channels, apps/websites, revision techniques and more!

Good luck in exams everyone!! :biggrin:

Mr Clellend Maths on youtube covers all the N5 Maths Past papers in great detail, you should attempt the questions first and then see where you went wrong/right!

For maths I really recommend DLB maths, he is definitely the best maths teacher on YouTube

Hi, here are some listening resources I'd recommend for French and Spanish. These are a great way of immersing yourself in the language. I have put in brackets which level I used them for. There are Easy Languages videos for all the other SQA languages too I think, some are more developed than others. Some of the podcasts are available on other streaming services, I have just put the Spotify links here as they are what I used.

Thought I might add some other resources I found :smile:

:

Mr Graham Maths on yt - literally saved my maths exam, his videos have examples, questions to do and are really easy to understand
CGP science books - the maths one was great and helped immensely, biology not so much
National 5 maths explained by James Anderson - this book is very big, but is so in depth and great to teach yourself if you missed something
