Higher Applications of Mathematics

This page contains free Dynamic Worksheets relating to the new Higher Applications of Mathematics course which will be taught from 2021 and first examined in 2022. If you want resources for other levels of course, go to our Free Resources homepage.

This is a brand new course that will be taught from 2021. For that reason, this page is currently mostly a placeholder. Content will be added once it is produced.

Free Resources:

At-a-glance guide to the course, with links to key SQA documents.
SQA Exam Question Bank: Higher Applications of Maths (for obvious reasons, the number of questions in the bank is low as only the Specimen Paper questions are available. More questions cannot be added until after the first exam in summer 2022!)

Resources that can be purchased in our Online Store:

These are the only resources on this site that require payment. Every other resource listed is entirely free.

A link to resources that can be purchased will be added here if and when they are released. It has not yet been confirmed whether revision notes or prelims will be produced for this course.

Free Solver Spreadsheets (easy ways for teachers to check answers to questions):

Will be added here once produced.
