Afraid it's not that simple, mate. It depends on the context! One's "better" than the other in certain situations. :smile:

Hi guys I felt I completed one of my exams with extreme ease and ended up with a B . Could someone please help me as to what I need to do to get my script re marked ?

Have a look at our SQA Results Service thread. All nicely explained there.

The A at Higher, because I like As and it opens more opportunities for applying to uni in Scotland. :tongue:

I swear you ask these questions every year!

I'd just like to thank the SQA for lowering the Higher English A boundary to 65%, it's probably the only reason I got an A :tongue:

Oh, anytime. It was a pleasure.

Higher Maths: A
Higher History: A
Higher Chemistry: B
Higher Physics: B
Int 2 English: A

Was severely disappointed with Chemistry, I found the paper the easiest out of all my exams and was expecting a comfortable A, and the reverse with Maths, I was expecting a C or B but ended up with an A which was great but I can't stop thinking about Chemistry as I really needed an A.

Why do you need an A in Chemistry so badly, bud? Those are good grades!

Higher History - B
Higher English - B
Higher Modern Studies - B
Higher PE - C
int 2 Maths - D

Pretty disappointed with those results, tbh. I want to go to uni to study history, but with those results that prospect is looking unlikely.

Why so disappointed, mate? Can still go off to do history with grades like those - just need to do some work in 6th year as well. :smile:

I did three part time highers and for the prelim for Art and Design I had an A but for all three exams I got a D! I'm contacting my tutors to get a remark. I believe this must be a mistake because my tutors all expected I would get much higher than a C and kept reassuring me that I would do well. I especially find it hard to believe that I would get a D in Art and Design considering the fact I've completed a foundation course in art and design with merit grade. I need at least a C in English for my offer at Gray's school of art. This is so frustrating. Hopefully I'll know more once they do a remark. I'm from the netherlands so I've never done highers before. Scottish universities dont accept my havo diploma so last year I decided to do both a foundation course and three highers to get into uni. Now it all feels like I've wasted a lot of time and money
