National 5 assessment resources
We are publishing subject-specific assessment resources to support you when gathering key pieces of evidence to inform National 5 estimates. These resources are intended to help you reinforce your understanding of the standards to be applied to assessment evidence, with a particular focus on gathering evidence that has a high predictive value aligned to the required assessment components.
These resources include National 5 question papers and marking instructions, coursework assessment tasks and marking instructions, and Understanding Standards materials to help reinforce your understanding of the national standard – including guidance on making grading decisions. The National 5 question papers are not intended for use as prelim exams.
