The Higher Course in Mathematics develops learners\u2019 mathematical rigour and the ability to use precise and concise mathematical language assumes a particular importance at this stage.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Higher Mathematics is split into three units. To gain the overall award, students must pass<\/strong> an assessment at the end of each\u00a0unit and pass the final exam.<\/p>\n

The SQA external exam consists of 2 papers \u2013 one calculator, one non-calculator.<\/p>\n
