Higher Mathematics is a science-group subject and the direct foundation for HSC and engineering admission — a weak base here becomes a serious problem in Class 11.
This page brings together the subject code, paper structure, mark distribution, syllabus topics and the study approach that earns the highest marks in SSC Higher Mathematics.
Higher Mathematics at a glance
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Subject | Higher Mathematics |
| Subject code | 126 |
| Papers | 1 |
| Group | Science |
| Mark distribution | Creative 50 + MCQ 25 + Practical 25 = 100 |

Boards and the NCTB revise subject codes and mark distribution from time to time. Confirm both against your board’s latest notice and the published NCTB syllabus before filling in your exam form.
What the syllabus covers
SSC 2027 runs on the full syllabus, so Higher Mathematics covers all of the following:
- Sets and functions, algebraic expressions and equations
- Geometric drawing and coordinate geometry — straight lines and slope
- Plane vectors and solid geometry
- Trigonometry — measurement of angles, trigonometric ratios and identities
- Exponential and logarithmic functions
- Binomial expansion, permutations and combinations
- Statics and dynamics, probability
- Practical: the prescribed drawing and solution notebook (25 marks)
This is a topic list — chapter order and numbering may differ in your edition. Download the definitive syllabus from the NCTB website (nctb.gov.bd).
How to score well in Higher Mathematics
- Finish the practical notebook well before the exam — those 25 marks are the easiest full score available.
- Learn trigonometric identities with their proofs — pure memorisation fails on a reworded question.
- Draw a figure for every coordinate-geometry and vector problem — the figure does half the work.
- Once a week, solve ten mixed problems from all earlier chapters so the formulas stay live.
A preparation routine that works
- Read the textbook chapter yourself first and get the core idea — starting with a guide book leaves the concept half-formed.
- After each chapter write a one-page note in your own words: definitions, formulas or key points, and an example.
- Solve that chapter’s creative and MCQ questions from past board papers, then check your answers.
- Reserve one day a week for revision only — skim every earlier chapter note.
- Sit at least one full timed model test a month, then work out exactly where you are losing marks.
Frequently asked questions
The subject code for Higher Mathematics is 126. You need this exact code on your exam form and on a board-challenge application, so cross-check it with your board’s notice.
Higher Mathematics has a single paper. Mark distribution: Creative 50 + MCQ 25 + Practical 25 = 100.
