We’ve corrected a typographical error in the sample data in task 1d of the Higher coursework assessment task document, and in the separate task 1c document. The updated versions are dated February 2025, version 1.1, and are available from the SQA Secure website (log-in needed). Please use the updated versions with your learners.
We’ve also removed the ‘candidate name’ field from the separate Higher assignment task documents. The assignment is moving to marking from image this year, so learners only need to enter their candidate number. If you've already downloaded the assignment task documents, you can still use them, but please advise your learners that they don't need to provide their name.
