At the moment, I am doing Foundation Maths, but for every other subject I am doing higher. I imagine if I ask the Head of Maths I could get moved up to higher but I am not sure if it is worth it. I have not learned any of what the higher classes are learning. So my question is, is achieving a level 5 easier on the Foundation paper or Higher paper?

A 5 is easier to get in a foundation paper, because the whole point of the foundation paper is to make it easier for students aiming for a 5 to get one, so the questions are easier than those in the higher paper. That said, if you're currently working at a 5 now, or maybe even a 4, it might be worth looking into taking the higher paper, because, you could get a 6 or a 7 and you wouldn't have that opportunity on a foundation paper, as the above poster said.

The questions in a foundation gcse paper are much easier than the ones in a higher paper. So even though the foundation exam would seem easier, and you would have to gain far more marks to get a c whereas in a higher tier paper, you can get a c with hardly any marks
