About us

A free Highers platform, built by people who just sat them

MyScottishHighers is a free SQA revision platform from the team behind MyUCAT. We build question-by-question walkthroughs, written guides and downloadable PDFs for the Scottish Higher courses, starting with Higher Biology and expanding across the curriculum.

Every resource is written by someone who sat that paper in the current course, then cross-checked against the official SQA marking instructions and the examiners' course report before a second reviewer signs it off. That editorial process is the whole point: what separates an A from a B usually isn't knowing more biology, it's knowing exactly what each command word wants on the page.

Behind the writing sits the same product, design and hosting team that runs MyUCAT, so everything works the same on a school laptop or a phone on the bus.

It's free, and it stays free. Biology is live now, with seven more Highers in production for the next diet.
