Congratulations if your child is considering doing their Advanced Higher course. They’re obviously highly motivated so that’s a brilliant start. You no doubt will have some questions about how you can best support them during the year and specifically around studying for their Advanced Higher exam. Stick with us because we are going to share everything you need to know and put any worries you have to bed.
Often referred to as just the Advanced Higher, it is an optional qualification for Scottish secondary school students which replaced the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies (CSYS). The reason it is sometimes known as the SQA Advanced Higher is that the SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) runs it.
The SQA is responsible for providing educational qualifications in Scotland. The Advanced Higher course is the highest level of accreditation offered by the SQA. The Advanced Higher exam is taken by students who have completed their Highers, which is the gateway into university. Taking Advanced Higher lessons can allow students to directly enter the second year of uni. 🎓
The Advanced Higher course can be described as equivalent to the first year of university. Students in Scotland wishing to attend further education will usually complete their Highers in S5, which is one stage before taking the Advanced Higher exam.
Highers are similar to A-levels, except A-levels cover two years of study and Highers take one year. That’s why Scotland also has the Advanced Higher course, which is a step up from the Higher exam and the most difficult prior to university. It’s necessary to complete the Higher year before moving on to the Advanced Higher lessons.
While Advanced Higher lessons are similar to the second year of A-levels, the Advanced Higher exam and content are considered harder than A-levels.
The UCAS (The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) is an independent body for the UK that oversees the application process for British universities. The Advanced Higher course gets more UCAS tariff points than the A-level course.
There are more than 35 different Advanced Higher lessons that your child could pick from. Here are some of the most common questions we get from parents and students regarding Advanced Higher course choices. 📚
In short, all of them. Since the Advanced Higher lessons can act as the first year of university, the expectations placed on students is significantly greater than during the Higher course.
Independent coursework and study will be the name of the game and this poses settling in issues for some kids. A child can be very bright but not organised. It’s important for the Advanced Higher course that your child has both the knowledge and organisational skills in order to get through the year and excel at the challenging Advanced Higher exam.
Many parents opt for Advanced Higher private tuition from the start of the year. This often includes a few specific Advanced Higher course preparation sessions.

When the time comes, we suggest enlisting the help of a professional online tutor to run through Advanced Higher lessons with your child and prepare them for the Advanced Higher exam and assessment.
