I am writing just to let you know that my son used your National 5 as well as Higher Study Packs for Mathematics. He scored an ‘A’ in both National 5 and Higher and said it wouldn’t have been possible without these Study Packs
Ms Meek
Thanks for this fantastic resource (and the Higher and the N5 Apps websites). I cannot even begin to quantify how much time it has saved me when teaching – Cheers!
Mr Craig, Teacher of Mathematics
I got an ‘A’ in my National 5 Maths Exam! I’m very pleased as I did it my first attempt. Your website content definitely helped clarify and consolidate my understanding of the subject.
Nigel
I found the site very useful and is a great addition to BBC Bitesize for my 14 year old son. He is working his way through BBC Bitesize National 4 Maths as he is a 2nd year pupil but I prefer the resources on your site as they are more in-depth and have useful worksheets.
Ruth
Just a thank you!
We’re using the advancedhighermaths.co.uk site and it is excellent. This has been a real help while our wonderful school teachers fight their way through lockdown tech nightmare. Later on today my younger daughter will be using the free national 5 maths website. Thanks so much.

Hello, I am writing to thank you for your wonderful website! I subscribed when I was studying for my National 5 exam (as an adult learner) and found it invaluable. I am delighted to have just discovered the huge amount of resources for younger learners too. My son who is in S2 will benefit from these, now and in future, as will my daughter when she moves up to S1 after summer. So just wanted to say thanks very much! Kind regards, Clare.
Clare
Hey, Just wanted to say thank you so much for this amazing resource! Last year I was expecting to scrape a B in my N5 exam if I was lucky, and after discovering this website and working through it over the past year, my teacher said she’ll be surprised if I don’t get an A1!!! So once again, thank you so much!!!
Olivia
Thanks for this fantastic website you have here. So well laid out, easy to follow and as a parent trying to help their child with studying. Only £20 for the Study Pack has been excellent value considering that many tutors charge £40 an hour. I will be continuing with this for Higher Maths and also for my younger child to ensure they are keeping up with the course. The worked solutions are so clear and easy to follow and I just cannot thank you enough. Wish there was something similar for the science subjects.
Claire
Love your website! – As a support teacher it is great for accessing materials and information.
Mrs O’Neill
Just had a look at the worked solutions for the 2018 N5 Math Past Paper – Calculator was absolutely fine, but some tricky questions in non-calculator part, particularly 19b. We found the non-calculator paper much harder than five previous past papers. Anyway hopefully she has achieved an ‘A’ Pass and we will definitely be using your excellent site for Higher Maths next term.

E-mailing you guys know that you are doing a great job compiling all these excellent resources, it has been a great help to me and probably many many others. It has allowed me to get a reassuring prelim mark and has given me confidence for the final exam (tomorrow). Thanks for all the help and keep up the good work.

Hello, I decided to write to you to thank you for this website, it has helped me incredibly and the amount of content you have is amazing. I was very happy to discover the many practice papers you have as I had began to run out of papers to do once completed all the SQA past papers. The checklists for the three different units is very helpful and I will definitely be taking these to school with me on the day of my exam to look over! Thank you again for being so helpful to us, it is greatly appreciated and I will be placing any success I have during the National 5 exam on this website due to the endless resources and help you have available. Thank you 🙂 Emily, Nat 5 Maths student.

It is a great help to us this site, my daughter scored 86% in her prelim after doing the last 5 years past papers
Mr Adams
Hi there – we found your site an amazing help for nat 5 – in fact my son went from a C grade at prelim to an A for his nat 5 thanks to you. Thank you – the best £20 I’ve spent!
