This will ensure that you are well prepared for assessments, Prelim exams and the final SQA practical exam in March.Practice is not always about playing your music from the beginning to the end every time. You must identify tricky bars/passages of your music, work on these areas in an isolated way and then you will notice that your overall performance will be more fluent.Remember – you are marked on many aspects of your performance – dynamics; mood; character; rhythm; a confident sound – it’s not just about playing the notes correctly.If you are performing with backing tracks then it is a good idea to start rehearsing with these in plenty of time. ListeningListening – learn/revise your concepts on a weekly basis. If you don’t learn the meaning of the concepts then it will be impossible to recognise them in the context of a piece of music.Cue cards are a great way to revise concepts – write the concept on one side, with the meaning on the other – and test yourself!On-line revision – very useful website – ‘mymusiconline.co.uk’Listening activities are also available on GLOWPhysicsRevision Guidance:Attempt past paper questions on the topics you have covered so far in the course and use the marking scheme on the SQA website to check answers.Use your notes/textbook to help answer past paper questions.Do revision little and often (don't cram all revision into a few days before test/exam).Make use of supported study throughout the year.Make use of Scholar (if you don't have a username/password please speak to your teacher).Revise the areas you find most difficult.

This is not an effective way to study in science subjects.Seek help from friends, family, internet, teacher as early as possible when difficulties arise.For the exam:Bring your scientific calculator – be sure you really know how to use it!Have a ruler and protractor in case you need to do scale drawings – spare pencils, rubber and pens too.Take your time over the questions – read them carefully and have a think about what you are being asked before you start to write anything. Stop and go onto the next question if you are taking too long; you can come back to it later.Try to give clear explanations when asked for them; use a diagram if this helps.Supplementary Literature:Leckie and Leckie past paper exam questions.How to Pass National 5 Physics published by Hodder Gibson.
