Higher Mathematics

This course aims to provide successful performance in the SQA Higher Maths exam. Mathematics is very important when seeking employment or when applying to further or higher education. Candidates who complete a Higher Mathematics course successfully are expected to have a competence and a confidence in applying mathematical techniques, manipulating symbolic expressions and communicating with mathematical correctness in the solution of problems. Please note: Higher Maths is a fast-paced and very challenging course, and should only be undertaken by applicants who already have excellent knowledge and understanding of mathematics at National 5 level. Please see below the exam paper from 2019 which provides useful insight into the breadth and challenge of the course. https://www.sqa.org.uk/pastpapers/papers/papers/2019/NH_Mathematics_all_2019.pdf
