Currently, teenagers in their fourth year of secondary school sit a graded exam to achieve a National 5 qualification - previously called an Intermediate exam.
Exams for fourth year pupils in Scotland could be scrapped as a review is expected to recommend axing the intense testing.
Findings from the review, led by assessment expert Louise Hayward, are due to be published in the next fortnight. "It becomes very, very high stakes because you only ever sit one set of exams just before you leave and you have not had any practice.” Parents were previously left "sceptical of any assessment system that does not have an external exam” after National 4 reforms, he said.
