Advanced Higher RMPS: Course Information

Past Papers:

SQA Past Papers  are available free on the SQA website. The marking schemes are available on the same page - use the drop-down menu under the table.

Remember that the format of the exam has changed and so, although the past papers that are available are useful for revision and essay practice, they do not give an accurate preview of the format of the exam you will sit in 2010. The Specimen Paper gives a sample of what the new style exam looks like. It also includes a marking scheme.
