SQA provides a Bank of assessment materials known as National Assessment Bank Materials (NABs). However, not all Units at Access 1 and 2 level have NABs. Most Access 2 Units have an NAB and the relevant parts of the Access 2 NABs should be used for the Derived Units at Access 1. Where a NAB is available for a given Unit, centres should use this for assessment purposes. To check if a particular Unit has a supporting NAB, centres should consult the Guide to Access 1 and 2 Staff Support Materials.
Units at Access 1 Supported level and Independent level do not have NABs. These Units have extended support notes in the Unit specification, including an assessment exemplar.
Copies of NABs are available from SQA's secure website. The SQA Co-ordinator in each centre has a password to access SQA's secure website and NABs can be downloaded from there.
