Modern Studies National 5 Study Notes

NOTE: Please check with your child that they are studying the following National 5 modern studies units:

• Crime and the Law
• World Powers: USA
• Democracy in Scotland

I DO NOT have study notes available in any other National 5 modern studies topics, including Terrorism, social issues in the UK, or any other countries.

Please check with your young person or their class teacher to confirm that they are studying the units I have available. 

The documents for each unit includes the following:

- Recommended structure on how to answer exam questions in modern studies

- Checklist on what you need to know in each unit

- Points, explanations, examples and analysis for EVERYTHING in each subtopic 

- Prompt questions and guidance to help students independently explain and analyse points on their own (to help pupils actually understand and recall the content easier)

- Exam-style questions for each sub-topic.
