Information requested

The percentage of SQA History students who answered questions which related to the British Empire or slave trading as opposed to the alternative questions they could have answered when they are able to choose.

For National 5, I refer to those who answered questions for part 4 of section 1 or part 3 of section 2 in the SQA N5 History course spec. For Higher students, the equivalent would be part C of the British history component.
