S4 Prelim Support NO APPEALS - so why have S4 prelims at all? • support staff’s professional judgement • provides more evidence for presentation level • Gives you practice in exam techniques and experience ‘the exam room’ before you sit any May/June SQA National 5 exams So why no ‘old style’ S4 Study Leave? • Learners studying subjects at National 4 level would lose a lot of important teaching time. Not helpful to learners attainment or staff delivering the courses for the first time! • Research shows that young people do better when there is structured support provided – Supported Study and the S4 Prelim Timetable Support • To maximise the time for learning and minimise the time for assessment!
