About this paper

Complete National 5 Computing Science prelim paper (80 marks, 1 hour 30 minutes).

We write two National 5 papers each year, this is paper B. Providing two papers allows centres to deliver two prelims or to have additional material for assessment/revision purposes.

The question paper has the following format:

  • Section 1 (55 Marks): Software Design & Development and Computer Systems
  • Section 2 (optional, 25 Marks): Database Design and Development
  • Section 3 (optional, 25 Marks): Web Design and Development.

Section 1 (mandatory) will allow candidates to demonstrate their breadth of knowledge and understanding from the course and problem solving abilities in Software Development and Computer Systems.

All sections will contain a mix of short-answer, restricted response questions and structured, extended response questions.

This question paper is prepared to match the balance, style and marking guidelines of the latest Qualifications Scotland (QS) paper at this level. The detailed marking guidelines provide example responses and guidance notes. We provide a full breakdown of the question type (A/C), related item from the Course Assessment Specification and marks available. This paper comes with a Microsoft PowerPoint slide deck with the questions and worked solutions to use when feeding back to candidates.

Papers are prepared by writers with many years of experience of setting, marking and vetting papers for Qualifications Scotland (QS) at multiple levels.

All questions are new and not previously seen. All 2026/2027 papers conform to the current QS Course Specification and changes to assessment. Perfect Papers will update papers should QS amend their assessment guidance. Our 2026/2027 papers are valid for the 2027 QS exam diet.

We are always seeking to improve our papers and update papers based on customer feedback as needed.

Adapted option includes a complete digital question paper, created as a PDF document, which can be completed using Adobe Reader or TextHelp Orbit Note. Files are provided in Microsoft Word, PDF or Adapted formats (which includes Microsoft Word and Digital Paper PDF) as downloads from our web store.

Adapted papers are supplied in both spellcheck-on and spellcheck-off versions.
