Interactive worksheets: SQA-style written questions with instant feedback and model answers. Self-marked.

Two practice mocks — a fresh set of questions from the whole bank every attempt.
The real exam: one question paper — 80 marks, 2 hours 20 minutes, worth 80% of your award. Three sections: 1 Democracy in Scotland and the UK · 2 Social Issues in the UK · 3 International Issues (each 26–28 marks). In each section you answer one option (Scotland or UK; Social Inequality or Crime & the Law; World Powers or World Issues): three knowledge questions (“Describe/Explain, in detail”, 4–8 marks) plus one 10-mark source question — conclusions, options or support & oppose a view. The assignment (20 marks, written up in 1 hour using your Research Sheet) is the other 20%.
These practice mocks are quick-fire 1-mark questions from the whole bank — they test knowledge, not extended writing, so use the worksheets and past papers for that. Format from the current course specification (Sept 2024) and the 2026 paper. Qualifications Scotland consulted on possible changes to N5 Modern Studies in June 2026 — check the subject page or with your teacher.
