How to Pass SQA Exams

Summary:
There are many study skills books available today - but this is the only one specifically devoted to study skills for SQA exams. So whether you're studying for Standard Grade, Intermediate, Higher or Advanced Higher, this book offers you an enormous range of ideas and strategies to make the study period for exams that little bit more bearable - and to make the results period in August a time for celebration!

How to Pass from Hodder Gibson is the Number 1 revision series for Scottish qualifications, and whilst no book can guarantee an examination pass, all subject-titles combine an overview of the course syllabus and exam requirements, as well as a guide to revision techniques and advice on sitting the examination itself. The books offer unique insights into what markers are actually looking for, so that students will avoid unnecessary mistakes - and should gain those extra marks that are so essential to moving up a grade.
