S5 study tips

Following discussions with some S5 pupils, here are some suggestions or tips they thought might be useful:

• use apps on your smart phone to help you revise, eg quizlet, flashcardlet
• create your own study notebooks - make summaries of your class notes for regular revision
• make mindmaps for 'at a glance' revision at the end of each topic
• highlight notes so the relevant points stand out
• use youtube videos to see experiments etc online
• use websites flagged up by staff, eg chemweb, hsn, sparknotes, etc
• use resources on SQA website, eg past papers and study planners

 Please leave a comment if you want to rate one of their suggestions or if you have a tip you'd like to add to the list!

You CAN do it!

An ongoing theme in the Senior School is mindset.  We revisit this throughout as having the right mindset is essential for turning failure into success.

Here's a link to the powerpoint that we've used to get this message across to pupils preparing for exams: achieving success

And remember, you CAN do it, just take a bit of time to think about how!
