Historical English marking is not the 2027 format

Higher Scottish text: the 2026 paper and earlier past papers use a 10-mark final question (2 commonality + 2 extract + 6 elsewhere). From the 2027 exam, the final question is 8 marks (2 + 2 + 4), with 12 marks on the initial extract questions. The Scottish-text section stays at 20 marks. National 5 retains its separate 8-mark format.
