Foundation tier is designed for students aiming for grades 1-5. The highest achievable grade is 5. Questions are more accessible and focus on core skills.
Higher tier covers grades 4-9. It includes everything on Foundation plus additional topics. Grade 6+ is only available on Higher tier.
Choosing the right tier affects your child's future options. Many sixth forms and courses require grade 6+, which means Higher tier is essential.
These topics appear only on the Higher tier paper. A tutor can systematically work through each one.
Use this checklist to assess whether Higher tier is the right move.
If 3 or more apply, a tutor can help bridge the gap. If fewer apply, our Foundation tutors can build those foundations first.
