Past papers

Past papers are an excellent way for pupils to prepare for a prelim or final exam. Pupils should attempt questions then mark them themselves. If they are unsure of anything they should contact their class teacher. Pupils can attempt all questions from the new CfE Advanced Higher papers. Pupils can attempt all questions from the Revised Advanced Higher past papers although the mark allocations are now different. Pupils can attempt some questions from the Old Advanced Higher past papers and should consult the guide to see which are suitable.
