Can You Do National 5 Maths Online?

Register for the Final Exam

Students and parents often ask me if they can do National 5 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 National 5 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 Education Academy Scotland which offers live classes, self study and the final exam. Cost £950.

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.
