English National 5 Study Guide

A clear, concise, and professionally printed glossy booklet with over 50 pages of essential guidance to help students practice the key skills required to succeed in every part of their English exam.

These guides are fully aligned with the SQA course specifications and are designed to be simple for both students and parents to follow.

What’s Inside:

• ️Expert guidance and unseen practice questions for every RUAE question type that has appeared since 2014 - with topical, engaging extracts covering fast fashion, climate change, COVID-19 and more.
•  Support on how to write a strong critical essay — including a model introduction and main body paragraph, plus study tips tailored to the exam.
• Scottish Set Text help — complete with model answers (8-mark for Nat 5 or 10-mark for Higher) and practical advice on how to study this section.
• ️ Portfolio support — ideas for generating your topic, model writing, and clear guidance on structuring your reflective or persuasive piece.
• ️ Free digital RUAE Marking Guide available upon request via email.

Please note: this guide does not include guidance on specific texts for critical reading.

For the past four years, I printed these English guides myself to keep them affordable. But with growing demand, I’ve given one of our most popular resources a sleek, professional upgrade — while keeping the same price and clear, student-friendly approach that’s helped many succeed.

The cost remains at £20, including the digital marking guide. A small postage fee will apply at checkout.
