Assessment readiness

Based on completed practice assessments and topic tests.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I know which level my child is working at?
Your child's level is shown on their timetable and in their latest tracking report. If you're still unsure, contact their class teacher and we'll point you to the right page.
What is the difference between BGE and the Senior Phase?
The Broad General Education (S1–S3) follows Curriculum for Excellence levels. The Senior Phase (S4–S6) leads to SQA National Qualifications such as National 4, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher.
Where are the past papers and solutions?
Open any Senior Phase course and select ‘Course Outline - Past Papers and Revision for assessment’. Past papers are listed with a matching solutions link beside each one.
Are the practice assessments the same as the real tests?
They're written to the same standard and cover the same skills as the real assessments, so pupils know what to expect. They aren't the actual assessment papers.
Mathematics or Applications of Maths: what's the difference?
Mathematics focuses on algebra, geometry and trigonometry and leads on to Higher Maths. Applications of Maths focuses on using maths in real-life contexts such as finance, statistics and measurement.
Can I print the resources?
Yes. All resources are PDFs, so you can download and print them at home or view them on a phone, tablet or computer.
