How fast does higher maths go?

I already started my higher maths course, but I just wanted to ask how far along other people are so far in the subject? So far my class has covered all of exponentials and logarithms as well as trigonometry before the summer holidays and I just wanted to know if other classes are ahead or not and how much time we'll get to revise in class prior to prelims and exams?

I would say maths is one of the courses that you finish the latest in terms of content - but I was in a similar position to you in the course this time 2 years ago and we had plenty of time for revision (we did very little ‘work’ in class and mostly wrote notes and then did practise for homework) so this may differ school to school

How have you covered all that? 😭 I’ve only had two weeks doing Highers right now, and we’ve only done straight line (which is like unfinished too)

No clue tbh 💀 we get like 30 minutes to do an entire page of exercises then we have to do the rest at home, and we started another new topic last week. To be fair though, we did start the course before exams even finished. (Sorry it took me so long to respond, my login stopped working 😭)
