## What this paper is like

Practice exam 14 follows the shape of the official test exactly: 24 multiple-choice questions, 45 minutes on the clock, and 18 correct answers needed to pass — 75%. You can flag questions and come back to them, and if you close the tab mid-paper we save your place so you can pick it up where you left off.

The paper is fixed, so exam 14 is always exam 14 — useful if you want to re-sit it after revising and compare scores honestly. Local accountability, the Norman period, Scottish literature.
