Higher English 2025 Prelim

Hi there! Has anyone sat their Higher English Prelim using the p and n paper? If so what is the RUAE on, the prose questions for the essay and which Carol Ann Duffy poem was used?
Thanks in advance :smile:

The RUAE is on religion and how Christianity is important for building community, etc.. I dont remember exactly though.(Very controversial RUAE ngl, some people will be very offended). The comparison question isn't too bad and its the points the writers agree on. For the rest of the questions you've asked, I would be waiting for an answer as well lol, I too have my English prelim paper 2 this week Wednesday. Also when's your prelim?

Hope this helps a bit

Oof clashing of the days of exam lol, anyways, Thank you and good luck to you too!(I hope the exam is easy as I am panicking for the essay!)Also about the RUAE I really dont remember the name(Sorry!)-- its about this person who isn't a Christian but she believes churches improve community.
What was the don Paterson poem
Are you even allowed to ask this sort of thing? I feel like this is cheating...

Edit: Tagging @imxa6 since I know they're a forum helper and they'll probably know more about this type of thing than I do.

Hi! To be honest, you can't "cheat" on RUAE. It is a reading comprehension, so it is very skills-based. Even if this person knows the topic of the RUAE, it most likely will not give them an advantage. I will say, however, please do not share questions like what the comparison question will be etc. Thank you for tagging and asking though 🙂
Hi all, I did not aim give 'cheats' at all. I just thought to help out because I've done the RUAE itself and its probably useful to know what sort of things are about to come up :smile: I havent tried to give out any specific answers or questions exactly, but a rough idea. I hope its not too much of a problem😀( I thought it was okay because I've seen a few for last year as well)

Thanks:smile:

Ooh, its been a while, but i think there is one about the character, social significance one and another one maybe theme? Not sure though... A rough idea( I did The Great Gatsby, so we chose prose fiction)

Hi, please do not share any questions related to the prelim, in order to give everyone attempting it a fair chance 🙂
