Our sample assessments are available in-browser and are accessible using a weblink above. There is no need to schedule or use a keycode.
All content within the sample assessments is modelled on live assessments. Mark schemes for all sample papers are provided to allow centres to mark on completion. This allows you to identify learners’ strengths and weaknesses to ensure individualised skills plans can be made using the outcomes of the practice assessments.
