Study efficiently and effectively and, if so, you should know exactly what aspects of the course you need to improve on. Access video support, ask your teacher, attend supported study and start planning for the exam today. The past paper practice starts now and you can begin to use the topic by topic on free higher maths.’ – Mr Munro.
