GCSE Maths-In Year 9?

If I can solve most GCSE higher maths questions in year 9, is it a good thing?
Yeah, it is. Even in Year 10, many students find the questions after Q10 much more difficult. What's your exam board. AQA or Edexcel.

Can you write down the solutions is sufficient detail to get full marks?

Does this include vectors, circle theorems, sine, cosine rule etc
If it does... yes, it's a good thing - you could take your maths exam early.
If it doesn't... yes, it's a good thing - you're interested in maths.

The method, if valid, does not matter but expalining it does. I would spend time practising this.

Will you take the UKMT IMC?

OK, that's good. The questions are more knowledge than logic. Just make sure to learn the curriculum and practice exam questions.
