It will follow a similar format to the webinar we held in December, with examples from part B: the age of the Reformation (1542-1603) and part C: The Treaty of Union (1689-1740).

Our review of Higher History has concluded that the marking standard in 2024 did not change and that the marking and grading processes worked as intended. Learners were not disadvantaged and can be confident that the attainment rate for Higher History accurately reflected their performance.
Independent, external scrutiny of the review by an expert in standard-setting and exams has endorsed the findings and confirmed the evidence supports the report’s conclusions.
