SQA Highers

I would say go for it as pe is 50 percentage sports any way if you are confident in your sport also haveing maths even Nat 5 is quite important have you thought about Nat 5 applications of math you still sit and exam however it is slightly easier as there is no algebra and such it is more realistic math as well which you would use in everyday life I did it this year and I got a C which is very good for me as I’m very bad at maths I’m better at English but if your school offer it I would have a a look at it you can even have. Discussion with your teacher as well I can understand why you would want to take it aswell as there is so much competition for uni these days hoped this helped good luck 📚

Doing five highers is pretty intense already, so taking five highers plus n5 maths will mean you are working with more than a full timetable and will make things like assignments/revision/consolidation of work quite challenging. Most uni offers are on the basis of four highers, apart from the most competitive courses. You are better off focusing on getting good grades in four highers and passing n5 maths, than stretching yourself too thin and getting a meh set of grades/not passing your resit. Save PE for S6, it would be a nice one to do then. Speak to your teachers though, they know you best and might have had others in the same situation before.
