2nd Prelim

As you should know by now, we will be having a second prelim on 8th May. The reason for this exam is mainly to meet SQA requirements for appeals - it is no longer possible to be upgraded to an A or B grade on the basis of a 2-unit prelim. So like a lot of subjects, we now have to do a prelim which covers the whole course.

Although it is not ideal to have to fit in an extra assessment, there are many positives. It provides a good starting point for revision, with the possibility to sort out misunderstandings ahead of the final exam. It is the first time you will have done a complete practice exam, so will be very useful experience. It is also a chance for people who underachieved in January to redeem themselves!

Good luck.
