    Grade Boundaries:

    A1: 105/130 (81%)
    A2: 92/130 (71%)
    B: 77/130 (59%)
    C: 62/130 (48%)
    D: 54/130 (42%)

    Pretty decent shift down there.

    For anyone else who wants them:

    http://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/files_ccc/...ries_2012.xlsx

    I just posted them here because this is the only 2012 subject thread I saw on the front page at the time.

    Not sure when they publish the examiners reports, those should be interesting.

    I doubt I can do anything but is there anything I can do if I thought I got a better grade than I was given but didn't do better in the prelims (therefore I can't appeal)?

    If there's no prelim evidence to back it up, then I'm afraid not. Hope you were happy with the other results!

    They were okay. Hopefully I'll be on AABBC after I get an appeal for Biology. I want to do Economics with Business at Glasgow/Strathclyde so getting a C at Maths is a bit annoying considering I was doing 90%+ in past papers.

    If I done really well at AH Maths, can it make up for note doing so well at Higher if thet wanted you to get a certain level at Higher?

    That says Standard Grade? I thought this thread was for Highers o.O?

    Or am I missing something :P?

    Well done! It can do, but be prepared for them asking for an A/B at AH to make up for it. From my understanding, a lot of universities tend to favour having the minimum higher requirements. If higher maths is a requirement, I think you'd be better off re-sitting and bumping that C grade up.

    It has from SG to AH, you should see some tabs somewhere to switch between the different levels.
