We’ve made some corrections to the marking instructions for the Advanced Higher History specimen question paper, following feedback from teachers and lecturers.
•
Page 64 - We’ve replaced John Eaton with Clement Eaton in the ‘Historians’ section.
•
Pages 65 and 67 - We’ve replaced Hugh McPherson with James McPherson in the ‘Historians’ section.
•
Page 67 - We’ve amended the perspective, ‘States that domestic gloom in May was changing to optimism and further suggests a greater chance of elections in November rather than August’. This is now clarified to, ‘States that domestic gloom in May was changing to optimism and further suggests a greater chance of
victory in the elections in November rather than August’.
•
Page 69 – We’ve replaced Christopher Phillips with UIrich Phillips in the ‘Historians’ section. The perspective ‘takes the view that the relationship between enslaved people and their owners was marked by ‘gentleness, kind-hearted friendship and mutual loyalty’’ is now correctly attributed to Ulrich Phillips.
•
Page 142 – We’ve corrected a spelling error, changing ‘Edward Malfekis’ to ‘Edward Malefakis’.
The updated specimen question paper is available from the ‘Past papers and marking instructions’ tab below.
Please advise your learners about these corrections and use the updated version when preparing learners for the 2025 exams.
