£35.95 ex VAT
Complete National 5 Computing Science prelim (110 marks, 2 hours).
UPDATE 30/11/20: A version of our N5 paper has been adapted with reduced time allocation (1 hour 30 minutes), reduced mark allocation (80 marks) and optionality (Section 2 – 25 marks; 2A: DDD, 2B: WDD) and included (as a complimentary addition to help hard-pressed teachers) with this pack.
The question paper covers both Section 1 (25 marks: short answer questions) and Section 2 (85 marks: extended response questions).
Section 1 will allow candidates to demonstrate their breadth of knowledge and understanding from the course, while Section 2 provides an opportunity for them to use this knowledge to demonstrate their problem solving skills when faced with questions in context.
This question paper is carefully balanced and closely emulates the national standard. The paper appropriately samples from the full course to help generate valid, reliable and robust estimates. The detailed marking scheme gives likely candidate responses and full guidance on marks allocations.
P&N Computing prelim papers are drafted by setters whom we have headhunted due to their considerable experience of the examination system at appropriate levels. Papers are securely trialled by professionals who “work the papers” to ensure materials are of an appropriate level of demand, balance, etc. and that marking instructions mirror SQA marking standards/marks allocations.
All 2020/2021 P&N papers fully comply with current SQA Arrangements Documents etc. valid for the next SQA examination diet (2021). Our prelim question papers contain completely new material each year and are guaranteed “sight unseen”. Papers are independently scrutinised to ensure a high quality, valid and reliable assessment resource which offers appropriate challenge.
