Foundation, Higher and the three papers
Foundation offers grades 1–5. Higher offers grades 4–9, with grade 3 available for a narrow band below grade 4. Your school enters you for all three papers at the same tier.
Every topic area can be assessed on any paper. Paper 1 is non-calculator; Papers 2 and 3 allow a calculator. Each paper lasts 90 minutes, has 80 marks and contributes one third of the qualification.
A shared topic can have different depth at each tier. Higher students still need the shared skills. The topic pages will distinguish Foundation material from Higher extensions as content is added.
