SQA Exams
Posted by Sharon on June 5th, 2008
This years History exams took place on Monday 26th May. I was particularly nervous as, although I have taught bits of all the courses on offer, it was the first time I had taught the full two year Standard Grade and all of the Higher course.
However, the papers were well balanced giving the pupils a chance to show off their knowledge. The topics taught in the Standard Grade course were split evenly across the levels and the Enquiry Skills section contained good sources. In the Higher paper 1 there were some good questions which the pupils should have found straight forward. Paper 2 again was balanced with a variety of topics being assessed.
Overall, I am sure that the pupils will have been able to perform to their potential with fair exam papers.
I wish them luck in all of their exams!
