I personally felt that p1 was mostly straightforward with a few marks to make you really think. P2 had some standard questions, a couple of tricky bits and a good problem solving circles Q at the end.
I wouldn’t like to predict cut-offs but for an A it has been consistently around 77/78% for the last few years.
You could be right, I can’t find a copy of the Principal Examiners report right now. I would aim for high 70′s to be more confident of an A. THe cut-off’s vary from year to year.
Thanks very much for these solutions. I am tutoring Higher Maths and these have been a great help to me!
Currently studying Maths at Glasgow Uni and I felt Paper 1 was very good but Paper 2 had some tricky marks which even I struggled to get at points!
Is there any way you could do the Advanced Higher solutions as well, i would love to be able to see how i did. Thannks
I’ll see what I can do. Give me a few days as I think a colleague of mine is going to do them.
Thank you Mr H for these solutions, kind of you save us worrying over the summer!
Thank you for these solutions so quickly, when will the paper 2 solutions be up?
Tomorrow morning. I forgot to take the paper home with me to finish off.
Hey! Thanks this is such a big help is there any chance in paper2 you could write the marks next to it:)? For each line
It won’t have marks on, sorry.
Thanks so much! I feel a lot better now. Have scraped an A!
Hi there… this is a great help! What do you think i will need out of 130 to get an A? 98? 100?
Thanks a lot
How do you think the difficulty of these papers were in comparison to other years? Do you think the grade boundaries will be higher/lower than usual?

Was it not 75% 97/130 last year and 72% 93/130 for 2009. Hoping for 2009 band (if my info is correct re bands):^)

Glad to help. P1 was OK and some tricky questions in P2 like you say to sort out the A’s from the B’s from the C’s!!
It looks like I’ve landed on the A/B line, here’s hoping for a generous grade boundary.
Hi,
Is there is any possibility of posting the Higher chemistry 2011 solutions? Also thank you for the Higher maths solutions.
I’ve passed your request on to the Chemistry teacher.
Please check the solution to P2 Q6.
The sine function should have been integrated to negative cosine.
Agree?
Hi Hector, thanks for getting in touch.
I’m sure that the sine function has been integrated to negative cosine.
will you put up the solutions for 2011 higher level junior cert please…
Hi, these solutions are for the Scottish Higher Maths exam. I think you may be looking for a different exam paper not available to us in Scotland.
