National 5 Applications of Mathematics
Overview
This qualification consists of three units and a final exam.
Candidates will have the option to study all three unit and sit final exam or a selection of units to meet their needs.
The exam in May covers everything you've done in the course, so it shows that you've understood what you've learned while working towards your qualification and can put it in context. The exam also helps to decide what grade you get for the course.
Please note that this course will run for 1 evening per week until November, then it will progress to run for two evenings per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Tuesday will be on Campus and Thursday will be delivered remotely.
Good numeracy skills can unlock job opportunities and lead to higher wages or prepare you for further study. They also help in everyday life, such as helping children with homework and budgeting money.
