Grade figures from our survey of Exceed Maths students after the 2026 results.

Why this exists

Most students stuck on a H4 or a H5 are not bad at maths.

They have gaps from earlier on that nobody went back for, and they are not getting the focused exam preparation it takes to move up. Most grinds are built to get through the course, and students take from them what they can.

Exceed Maths finds the gaps first, rebuilds them in order and trains them for the exam. With the plan laid out for them, students stop guessing what to study, which leaves more time for their other subjects.

How it works

The Exceed Method

Four steps, in this order. The order is the part that matters.

STEP 1Find the gaps

An assessment first. What is actually missing, found and written down, before a single lesson is aimed at it.

STEP 2Rebuild foundations

The gaps closed in the order they are costing marks, not in whatever order the school calendar reaches them.

STEP 3Train for the exam

Timed papers, exam technique and the mistakes that keep coming back, alongside the teaching right through to June.

STEP 4Review and refine

A one to one review call on what has actually changed, and the priority list rewritten for what comes next.

What is included

Six parts that run together

All of it in one place your child logs into, on a laptop or on their phone.

Live teaching, led by Chisom

Weekly live Higher Level classes, where your child can ask the question while they are still stuck on it.

Real exam training

Timed papers, exam technique and the mistakes that keep coming back, right through to June.

The course, topic by topic

Topic courses on demand with worksheets, notes and recordings, with progress tracked on each one.

A marked monthly assessment

A full paper every month, returned with a percentage and a grade, so nobody is guessing until June.

Never left stuck

A shared channel for maths questions between classes, so a problem on a Tuesday does not sit until the next one.

Progress you can see

A one to one review call with their tutor, and the priority list rewritten for the stretch ahead.

How they are placed

Grouped by where they are now.

We separate students by their current ability, based on the diagnostic, not on what anyone hopes. Each group is taught at the level it needs, and students can move up mid-year.

Currently on a H4 to a H1

Pushing for a H1 or H2. Full rigour, the hardest past questions, the parts most students never attempt.

Currently on a H8 to a H5

Fundamentals rebuilt properly, marking scheme strategy, and honest decisions about which topics to stop spending time on.

Thinking about a tutor or another grind?

A tutor gives an hour a week, and most grinds are built to cover the course. See how they compare with a full week built around moving them up.

Questions

Before you apply

What grade does my child need to be on?

We take every Higher Level student we think we can help, from a H8 to a H1. The diagnostic decides which group they go into.

What if they are Ordinary Level?

Apply anyway and we will point you towards one to one sessions instead.

When should my child start?

The earlier the better, and before the mocks rather than after them. Finding what is missing takes an assessment and fixing it takes time, and both of those are easier now than in February.

My child is on a H4 or a H5. Is it too late?

Usually not, and the starting grade is the wrong thing to look at. What matters is what is actually missing and how much time is left. That is what the assessment and the call are for.

We are already in a good school. Do we still need this?

Often, yes. A good school teaches the course well, but it moves at the pace of a class of thirty and it does not go back for a topic your child half learned in fifth year.

Will this take time from other subjects?

The aim is the opposite. A written list of what is missing, in the order it is costing marks, means your child stops guessing what to do in maths, which leaves more of the week for everything else.

Does my child get individual time and support?

Yes. Alongside the live classes, your child has their own priorities written out from the assessment, practice assigned against that list, and a one to one review call with their tutor. There is also a shared channel for maths questions between classes.

What if a live class is missed?

Nothing is lost. Lessons are recorded, so a missed class is caught up rather than written off, and the review call is where anything missed gets picked up.

How does my child join, and what happens on the call?

Answer the few questions below, then pick a time for your free strategy call. There is no obligation. Chisom goes through where your child is starting and how the programme would work for them. If it is not the right answer for them, he will say so.

Apply for a free strategy call

Places are limited. A free call to go through where your child is starting, what the gaps are likely to be, and whether the programme is the right fit. If it is not, Chisom will say so.

It takes about three minutes, and you choose your call time at the end.
