Exemplar Question Paper and Marking Instructions
After completing the SQA Specimen Question Paper, the Exemplar Paper or any past Higher 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.
CfE Higher Question Papers differ from past Higher papers. Ensure that you familiarise yourself with the Specimen and
Exemplar Question Papers: these are what your exam will look like.
Past Papers
Useful SQA past paper questions are listed and organised by topic with guidance notes here. For direct links to past papers,
click on the year (ie click on '2013') in the table below where you will find questions relevant to CfE Higher Chemistry. Some
topics may be new for CfE Higher Chemistry and therefore do not have past questions; be sure to revise all of your topics.
Marking instructions for past papers can be accessed in the column 'Answers'.
