Advanced Higher Course Assessment
Course Assessment at Advanced Higher
• Course Assessment at National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher assesses Added Value
• Courses at Advanced Higher are graded A – D, as at present
• Controlled Assessment of setting, conducting and marking
• For Mathematics and Mathematics of Mechanics there is one Component – a question paper
Advanced Higher – Mathematics; Mathematics of Mechanics
Component Question paperTime 180 minutes
Marks 100Percentage of marks across the paper
Approximately 25-45% of the marks overall for questions relate to each Unit.
Advanced Higher – Amount of Change
Introduction of a Formula Sheet -Designed to be specific to the course
Advanced Higher – Amount of ChangeMathematics
The following areas of study are now assessed: •proof by contrapositive •(non-stationary) points of inflexion
The following area of study is not in the new Advanced Higher Course: •iterative schemes
Advanced Higher – Amount of ChangeMathematics of Mechanics
