How the National 5 Maths exam works

SQA National 5 Maths is assessed by two papers worth 80 marks combined. We make sure students are confident in both.

• Paper 1 (non-calculator) — tests mental arithmetic and pure technique, so we drill fractions, percentages, surds and exact-value working until they are second nature.
• Paper 2 (calculator) — longer, applied questions where method marks matter; we coach clear, structured working in the SQA style.
• Grades A–D are awarded on the combined result, so we target the topics — algebra, trigonometry and the straight line — where students most often drop marks.

Whether your child is at a Pollokshields, Shawlands or Govanhill school, or anywhere across Glasgow Southside, we tailor every lesson to their school's teaching order and prelim timetable.
