higher English tips

I recently moved to Scotland and a subject I am currently taking at higher is English. I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult, but timing is definitely a problem I have especially with RUAE, I'm not sure what to do anymore and the exams are approaching... do I just try to give shorter answers? not to mention I've tried practice papers and I am trying to get the hang of it, but it'd definitely be easier if there were more past papers available online! I really do need advice.
I have attached English papers from 2015-2017. One has the RUAE removed due to copyright, but you can still look at the questions/marking instructions. The marking instructions are excellent for seeing where marks are awarded. If you are still not sure ask your teacher - that is what they are there for!

A model paper is available here for practise too - https://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/media/Documents/Gibson/Model%20Papers/Higher-English-Model-Paper.pdf
https://www.understandingstandards.org.uk/Subjects/English/higher/rfuae

The SQA understanding standards site is also very good. You can see in here some candidates answers to a RUAE paper and the markers commentary on each why they were awarded/lost marks.

sorry, could you post other higher businesses past papers? before 2018.
I didn't do business so didnt download them. You could try asking you teacher if they have any older papers.
