Braille question papers
Duxbury files (.dxb) for the braille question papers, that were requested since the 2016 Exam Diet, are available below. These are supplied as requested for actual candidates in Standard English Braille (SEB) and/or Unified English Braille (UEB) formats. SQA would like to thank Scottish Braille Press for their support in supplying the Duxbury files.
Additional examination materials, including print copies of the braille paper (PCB), are also supplied as PDF files.
To access Duxbury files, Centres require specialist software and brailling equipment. SQA is unable to offer advice on brailling software or equipment.
Candidates requiring braille question papers
Centres with candidates 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.
