#1 – Arran picked up a mistake in the Exemplar Specimen paper. 2b ought to read 52 degrees. The formula is correct but the value of m has been incorrectly given as 0.35, this is actually the value of the radius. m ought to be 0.2, giving a weight of 1.96N. Well spotted. If you’re a student, you deserve an A, if you’re a teacher, then your students are lucky to have you.
Below are the Revised Advanced Higher Past Papers, the content is very very similar to the new National (CfE) Advanced Higher, although the marks would be different. These were the last past papers with half marks!

Thanks
Thanks to Mr Stuart Farmer and Mr Andy McPhee for the course reports- their filing systems are so much better than mine, but then that’s why I am doing this! Thanks guys!
