Braille question papers
Duxbury files (.dxb) for the braille question papers are available below. These are requested by candidates. We thank Scottish Braille Press for help with the Duxbury files.
Additional examination materials, including print copies of the braille paper (PCB), are also supplied as PDF files.
To access Duxbury files, you need specialist software and brailling equipment. We can't offer advice on these.
Candidates requiring braille question papers
Centres requiring braille question papers for National Qualification external examinations must request them through Assessment Arrangements Request (AAR) system. The AAR system opens in October and closes in late January.
