Can You Do Higher Maths Online?

Register for the Final Exam

Students and parents often ask me if they can do Higher Maths online. The short answer is yes but you still have to be registered to take the final exam at a test center. A test center is likely to be a school, college or university. In most cases you’ll have to enrol in an online Higher Maths course which includes the fee to sit the final exam – you cannot simply pay to take the final exam. It seems that there are various packages available as listed below:

The University of Aberdeen which offers self study and a final exam. Cost £440.

The University of the Highlands & Islands which offers live online sessions, an optional tutorial session and the final exam. Cost £355.

It’s worth approaching these, and other providers, to find the best option for you.

Prepare for the Exam

Regardless of which test center you plan to take the final exam with you’ll have to prepare thoroughly. Higher Maths is not easy and contains a range of topics and techniques.
