Find my level

Choose your pathway and we'll help find a suitable starting point.

Start with the route that matches your course or stage. Readiness checks are a guide to strengths, gaps and next practice, not a formal assessment judgement.

Primary & Early Learning

Use the Primary Starting Point Check to find a sensible starting place across Early, First, Second and Third Level readiness.

Available with Premium Teacher access or through your class or school.

  • Primary Starting Point Check
  • CfE level progression support
  • Recommended next practice

Supported Pathways

National 1 Number Skills and National 2 Lifeskills Mathematics use supported, practical tasks. National 1 is a group of standalone units, not a formal course result.

  • National 1 Number Skills units
  • National 2 Lifeskills Mathematics
  • A supported starting point, not a qualification judgement

Applications of Mathematics

National 3 Applications sits between National 2 Lifeskills Mathematics and National 4 Applications. Use course practice to build evidence; the site does not award or certify the qualification.

  • National 3: three mandatory units
  • National 4 Applications progression
  • Readiness guidance, not a qualification judgement

National 5 Mathematics

Use a pupil-facing readiness check to review National 5 Mathematics foundations before moving into topic practice or mixed revision.

  • Algebra, number, geometry and skills evidence
  • Targeted practice route

Higher Mathematics
