'Comparison Exercises' have now been redeveloped and represent a style similar to that used in the NQ Higher examination with a possible final score of 8 marks.

New 'Gap Exercises' have been developed and reflect the style of cloze test used in the NQ Higher examination with, in most cases, ten boxes to be completed. A final score in this question is usually 5 marks, half a mark being awarded for each correct answer.
