Useful Past Paper Questions for New Advanced Higher Biology

"Old" Advanced Higher Past Paper questions which are relevant to new Advanced Higher Biology (NQ).

If you have already tried the model papers, specimen papers and the Revised Advanced Higher papers and are looking for more questions to practise then these are some I have picked out as relevant from the Old Advanced Higher Biology Past papers.  2011 onwards are on the SQA website still.

I have put in links to where they are online.

2006 does not appear to be online any more so you might need to buy it or email me if you are stuck.

These might be difficult to track down online although you may find them here: Past Papers 2007 - 2014 on here or buy an old past paper book on ebay (or email me I may have some)
Another link with some is here: https://revisionscience.com/a2-level-level-revision/biology-level-revision/biology-level-past-papers/sqa-higher-and-advanced-higher-biology-past-papers

Some past papers and marking instructions are on here:

If you do find a copy then these are some relevant questions to try:

• 2005

1. Section A : 1, 3, 5(a 15% solution is 15 g in 100ml), 7, 8, 9, 10, 24 
2. Section B : 1 (Malaria question) - but not a)ii) or e),  5 (cell cycle)
3. Section C : (Animal Behaviour) - 3 (capercaillie question)
?? Not sure if this is correct ...

• 2006

1. Section A (MCQ) - Q 8, 9 10, 11,
2. Section B - Q1 
3. Section C (Biotechnology) - Q2

• 2007  

1. MCQ Section A - Q2, 4, 8, 9 (but answer D should read DNAases), 10, 11
2. Section B - Q1 (animal capture question) - this question may not mention our mark and recapture technique which is in advanced higher - but you might want to give it a go - miss out part a), e), f) and g) Q4  (you may not remember density dependent - it was in Higher), Q5, Q6  and Q8 A and B
3. Animal Behaviour Section C  - Q1, 2, 3 a) and 4
4. Physiology Health and Exercise - Q1  (useful but maybe slightly off the course but still useful to try) - this is about Type 2 diabetes (NIDDM)

• 2008  

1.  Section A - Q2, 5, 8, 9, 17 (although our equation is differently phrased but its the same thing), 23 (you've learned these terms to do with parasites), 24 (you've done this with parasites !), 
2. Section B - Q1, Q2a), Q3, Q4
3. Section C - Biotechnology Q1 (good question although part a) is perhaps not known to you, but no harm trying it !), Animal Behaviour Q1 a), Q3 (interesting to try), Q4 (interesting to try mainly to try the statistics),  
   

• 2009 

1. Section A : Q2, 5
2. Section B: Q4, Q5 a) and b) i) Q6
3. Section C: Biotechnology Q1, Animal Behaviour Q1 b) and c), Q2

• 2011 (cannot find online any more but contact me if you want more details)

1. MCQ Section A - Q9, 10
2. Section B : Q1, 5, 6, 8A (overlaps with new Higher a bit), BB (miss out (iii)
3. Section C : Biotechnology 1 (perhaps more new Higher), Q2, Animal Behaviour Q3 (very good question !), Physiology Q3 a) and b) i)

• 2012 (cannot find online any more but contact me if you want more details)

1. MCQ Section A - Q2, 6, 9, 10, 11
2. Section B : Q1 (stem cells & RNA are prob Higher level now but its a good question to try as it mentions cell cycle - treat it as problem solving style question), Q2
3. Section C : Biotechnology Q 1, and 3 b) Animal Behaviour : Q2  Phsiology, Health and Exercise 1 d) and 3 b)

• 2013 

1. MCQ Section A - 1, 2, 3 (although doesnt seem to be emphasised in new Adv H..), 6, 7, 12, 15, 22
2. Section B : Q1, 6, 8 B
3. Section C : Biotechnology 3 a)i)  Animal Behaviour - 

2014 Questions:

• Multiple Choice Q 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 17, 18
• Main Paper Q 1, 3, 4
• Biotechnology: 3 (a) (maybe a bit out of date), Animal Behaviour 1, 4

And .... Some useful questions are found in the Old Higher papers ...

From 2014 Higher - Try MCQ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 (which includes an XY sex linked question);
From 2013 Higher - Try Main paper Questions 5 (meiosis and crossing over) and Question 7 (sex linked question - colour blindness)
From 2015 Higher - Main paper Questions 4, 6 and 7 are useful (except 4b and 7b)
From 2010 Higher - Meiosis - Crossing Over Q 7, 8 a) i) and ii) Main paper From 2008 Higher - Multiple Choice Q11 (Meiosis) Q13 (XX/XY genetics) From 2007 Higher - Multiple Choice Q12 (XX/XY question) From 2006 Higher - MCQ Q14 is a good one for looking at sex linked inheritance of colour vision From 2009 Higher Biology Q11 in the MCQ is worth a try too. XX and XY in chickens / hens /birds is the opposite way round to what happens in humans so watch out ! Apart from that the question is the same metho
