ay lads i just completed my RUAE prelim and I can tell you something now - it's really easy. I'm not sure how prelims work and if they are the same nationally, but mine was on Peppa Pig. The majority of questions were 'own words' questions which, for the most part, are the EASIEST. There were a couple of word choice questions, a linking question, and 2 on why 'this line is effective'.

Accidentally left websites in the middle of essay! what do I do
Use this mistake to do better next time. I made a similar silly mistake recently by handing in the wrong file. This is where we learn to check, double check, and do it earlier!Quote:

It submitted ONE MINUTE LATE (which is another story but whatever) and when ive checked the work I've sent all the webistes are still in the middle of the essay with random notes like

SO2 Content in Wine Help!
Hi guys, I'm in the process of doing my write-up for my project in AH Chem (SO2 Content in wine via titration with Iodine). Doing the underlying chemistry and my teacher suggested I mention why NaOH is added to the wine to free up the bound SO2. Only problem is that I have not been able to find anywhere how it actually frees up the SO2. If anyone has maybe done this project or knows why, please help ;)
cheers

Nat 5 English - help!
Hello, sucks that you have a teacher like that who doesn't help you or give you the support you need. I am also currently studying English at Nat 5 and what my teacher does for the critical readings is to give us a fill-in analysis sheet with important things such as themes, key quotes and character details that we can do in class, if you would like me to send you it Ill get a fresh copy from my teacher.Quote:

Hi everybody. New to this place. I’m currently studying National 5 English and I’m finding it very difficult. I have an incredibly good grasp of the English language in terms of words and grammar, but it’s extremely clear that this is not what the course is about and I am incredibly confused.
I am completely fine with the folio. However, RUAE and Scottish Set Text is where it becomes way more confusing. I don’t understand how to answer the questions (my teachers tell me I spent S2-3 learning to do this, but I don’t remember doing anything?) and why exactly I have to interpret the texts that deeply.
I’m autistic and find it difficult to do homework at home, however my teacher insists that if I study I’ll get a higher grade than a C (which was my prelim result).
She is completely ignorant of the fact that I can barely concentrate on work I do at home, and it’s really disheartening as I need National 5 in this subject at C to go to uni and have a chance at doing a course I’m very keen on. I was considering taking it to Advanced Higher, but I’m finding it so hard that I might as well drop it and do Modern Studies (which I’ve taken a real interest in lately, and took until the end of S3) instead.
Does anybody have any good advice, links or resources to help me out with this course? It would break my heart to lose my chance to go to uni and study to do my dream job all because of this absurdly hard subjects. I think the SQA have a lot to ask themselves if I got a C in an English prelim, but A in a modern languages prelim...
For the RUAE, I would highly suggest doing past papers and other online sources but just keep practising as it's just answering questions from the extract provided. This is entirely optional but maybe go to supported study for English if your school has it, it may just give you the support you need. However, if you do find that the teacher does not give you the correct support or doesn't teach you correctly, you can go to the head of department or your guidance teacher and be moved.
I am certain that you will do much better in the exam because the prelims always tend to be much harder than the exams so don't stress out about it as it will go up once you become more familiar with the critical pieces and RUAE.
Hope this help and good luck!

St Andrews university
Aww thankyou, ditto!! Also same I like the area it's nice and quiet (I stay in Glasgow the city life is getting annoying lol) and the uni is so nice and maybe they wait for certain subjects but history is quite popular and I sent mine off on the 25th of November. Glasgow, dundee and Edinburgh are replying quickQuote:

I heard that too that they usually don't get back until after the deadline so you got really lucky. When did you send off your application? I only sent mine off on Monday and have been constantly checking track every second but haven't got anything back yet. I'm so impatient ahaha

Drama or Prose?
gonna be honest I've not done drama since nat 5. doing AH this year though and we're doing drama for that, but I'll have to see how that goes in the prelim. I did Gatsby for higher last year and loved it- there's a ridiculous amount to analyse in it if you're taught it right, although I'm sure there's also plenty in the crucible. on a revision basis, prose is great as I find it far easier to re-read a book whereas re-reading a play just isn't fun (for me). I enjoyed gatsby so much that I'm doing my dissertation on it at AH, so maybe it'll become clearer when you've done both texts- it's probably easiest to revise something you're interested in as you'll retain more? dunno if this has helped at all tho
