N5 - 8.50-9.25am (exam venue will be on your exam timetable)
Remember to revise all your notes and essay materials for the SQA Exam.
Use the S5/6 pages / S4- N5 Pages on this website to look at SQA past papers and sample questions, as well as exemplars of how to study/ answer a Higher/ N5 question in the exam.Candidates should carefully ready the instructions and the questions in exam and answer the KEY points which are asked for in the answers.
Higher - part B questions (history of Art and Design are worth 20 marks) - it is a good idea to answer these questions first - as they are worth most marks, then answer the 10 mark Critical picture questions. Try to allow 25mins per history question and no more than 20 minutes for each critical question.
N5 - All questions are worth 10 marks - you will only sit half the exam at Prelim, as you have only covered design at this stage - exam later in session will be 1 hour 10 mins.
