2024 NQ past papers now available

The 2024 past papers and marking instructions are now available from the past papers section of our website.

We’ve standardised the marking instructions for each past paper following the marking of the 2024 exams.

Braille question papers

We’ve also published Duxbury files (.dxb) for braille question papers that learners used as part of an assessment arrangement in 2024. Your centre needs specialist software and brailling equipment to access these files.

Alternatively, we’ve also provided print copies of braille question papers (PCB) as PDF files.

Digital question papers

Digital question papers will be available in the coming weeks. These are digitised versions of the 2024 question papers, which we provide to disabled learners and learners with additional support needs who have difficulties with reading or writing, or both.
