The AAA policy outlines arrangements for those young people with additional support needs:   Additional Assessment Arrangements

Digital Question Papers

Balfron High School supports and promotes the use of Digital Question Papers for Prelim & SQA Main Diet Exams.  However, it is very important that candidates have practised using DQPs in advance of the Prelim and SQA Exams.  We use Adobe Reader on a Windows PC for all Prelim & SQA Exams.  Use this link to download DQP Past Papers on your Windows PC/laptop or Apple Mac.

Use of a Digital Reader

For candidates with very specific Additional Assessment Arrangements, a digital reader may be allowed in an SQA Exam.  In these cases, Balfron High School supports and promotes the use of “Natural Reader” for Prelim & SQA Main Diet Exams.  Again, it is very important that candidates have practised using Natural Reader in advance of the Prelim and SQA Exams.
