Psssst, OP.... take your sarcasm meter back to Tesco, it blatantly isn't working. This thread is priceless xD

Why is everyone being so cruel and condescending? ¬¬

You don't need 8 1's, as you probably gathered. In fact, most Universities don't look at SG's that much, it's more Highers and AH's. Although it does look good to get as many ones/credits as you can :smile:

It's not easy for me to remain polite in this thread, hen. The whole time I've been posting I've been sitting here on the toilet pan with my laptop, horrifically constipated.

Mais!

From the good of my heart I try. And my offer still stands. Make of it what you will.

Interesting question to all those who say "all credit passes":

isn't a low 2 basically an Int 2 C (judging from grade boundaries)? Would you say to Int 2 people "just pass them all" or "all As and Bs"?

But tbh you don't get things like "2 band 2" or anything. It's just a 2. I think it looks more impresive than a C, as you could of got 69% and 69% in int2 would be a B.

It's like at school when they want a 1 or a 2 to get into higher.. or an A or a B at int2, eh.

But it's a good point.

I suppose it depends on the actual percentage - a 2 could be a B or a C.

It's actually a flaw in the SG marking system - it seems so weird to have basically 1, 2 or fail in Credit whereas for Higher Still exams you have bands from 1 to 9.

Hmm yeah. I guess that's why some schools choose to do Int2's instead. I think they're going to scrap SG's anyway.
Yeah.. tbh I think the whole banding of grades are silly.. and I don't dwell on it/try and find out what banding of A I get. If it was writen on my exam certificate I might care a little more. :tongue:

That's why you have general.

General is a different level of exam though. Credit is roughly equal to Int 2 - basically there are only two pass grades, and for Int 2 including bands there are 6. Just pointing it out.

And to Daniel-Ballingall: they're both being scrapped: current S1s will sit "National 4s and National 5s" in S4 as part of the Curriculum for Excellence.
