National 5 Prelim help

The best way to prepare for exams is to do as many past papers as possible. So how do you do this when there are no past paper?

The SQA has a Speciman Paper and marking scheme for you to use - here.

You also have Pennyprint books of questions and answers. Remember to use them wisely - Describe and Explain questions should not have a source attached to them. Either do the question without using the source and / or change the question to a 'how useful' or 'how fully.

You have a Free at Last revision guide, a Wars of Independence revision guide and an exam skills booklet.

If you do revise, do it by making summary diagrams or similar. Only revise gaps in your knowledge. Find those gaps by doing past papers.

Remember, the prelim will only cover Free at Last and Wars of Independence.

Good luck.

 

Higher/N5 Collapse of Weimar, Rise of Nazis Essay. Some help.

Guys, you can get your Higher but you have to start somewhere and this essay will be your first effort. Don't expect it to be easy nor come together easily. If Highers were easy everybody would have them and they would have little or no value.

You HAVE to start somewhere.

If you haven't carefully read all the very useful information I provided in the booklet on Chapter 10  nor completed the question then you are making this tasks so much harder for yourself.

Here are some of the powerpoints I used:

Download FirstWorldWarforGermany[1]

Download Weimar1919-30[1]

Download Weimar1930-33(Ellon notes)

And here are the essay help powerpoints I used today:

Here is the essay plan:

Please look at the SQA History website for the marking instruction to learn about what the markers will look for. Read pages 2 & 3 carefully.

So, get on with it and hand in something on Friday. It can be typed or hand written. It should be about 3 sides of A4 long. You can e-mail a Word doc (NOT a .docx) to me if you wish at [email protected]
