with your teachers that these resources are relevant to you. You can find the series at www.parentforumscotland.org
Specimen Paper and Past Papers
The SQA Specimen Paper and marking instructions for National 5 Graphic Communication:
www.sqa.org.uk/files_ccc/GraphicCommunicationSQPN5.pdf
After completing the SQA Specimen Question Paper (exam) or any past paper questions, ensure that you look at the marking
instructions as these often contain course content and they will help you to improve your exam technique. National 5 Question Papers
differ from past papers. Ensure that you familiarise yourself with the Specimen Paper: this is what your exam will look like.
Past Papers
Useful SQA past paper questions are listed and organised by topic with guidance:
www.sqa.org.uk/files_ccc/GraphicComSQPN5PPGuidance.pdf
In the table below you will find links to questions relevant to the different topics within National 5 Graphic Communication. Some
topics are new for National 5 and therefore do not have past questions; be sure to revise all of the topics. Other past paper questions,
which require some wording to be changed to make them appropriate for National 5, can be found at
www.sqa.org.uk/files_ccc/GraphicComSQPN5PPGuidance.pdf. Marking instructions for past papers can be accessed in the column
'Answers'.
