Information requested

Question paper skills tagging data for N5, Higher and AH Chemistry 2025 as well as for the Specimen papers for each level if available. Albeit outdated, the same materials for 2014 & 2015 N5 and 2015 Higher if possible would be appreciated

It would be useful for these to be published on Understanding Standards as the existing materials that were removed are very useful to practitioners for in-house assessment purposes.

Response

The question paper skills tagging data for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher for 2025 is attached.

The question paper skills tagging data for National 5 and Higher Chemistry specimen papers is attached.

Under section 17, when a public authority does not hold information it should inform the applicant.

We are unable to provide you with question paper skills tagging data for specimen papers or for 2014-2015 as this information was not generated or published for chemistry. The website materials show we generated and published question paper skills tagging from 2016-2019.

We are also unable to provide the question paper skills tagging data for Advanced Higher Chemistry as we have been unable to locate these.
