Quinn confirms bonus maths points to be reviewed in three years
More than one-in-four maths candidates sat the higher level paper, up from one-in-six two years ago and any student who got a D or higher in their result got an extra 25 points.
Mr Quinn said 94% of students who took the higher-level maths paper got the 25 bonus points, so the initiative to encourage more students take the exam had worked very well.
