Hey
Im going to be sitting my Highers in 5th year and I was wondering...
How hard are they?
Like I'll be sitting English, ICT, Modern Studies
Does anyone know what they are like and what the courses involve?

english: i got a B in that but only through knowing the book i did for personal study inside out and revising like fuck, the final exams were really hard imo, all i can say about this one is you have to give your full concentration in class, learn the definitions of techniques (they always give you brownie points in the exams for highlighting techniques) know the poems inside out, ask the teacher for help because a lot of them are metaphors and not always obvious.
modern studies: hmm this was pretty easy for me but i think its because i have always been good at it (got school prizes etc for it) and i had a brilliant teacher. in the exam always do the topics you know most about, and read the exam paper thoroughly before hand, a lot of people didnt understand the questions and lost vital marks. with this one do a lot of research (internet was always good) and use highlighters as often as possible, they come in invaluable in the exam.
if you got anymore questions you know where i am
