You are absolutely fine. It doesn't matter the year, so long as you actually pass.
It is a standard to get in and the year doesn't matter.


However with Higher subjects you tend to get universities requesting you get a certain grade on the first sitting meaning that you require to get the grades on the first attempt of those highers.

Depends what you're a applying for? Not a chance if you are applying for Physics/Chemistry/Engineering/Maths. But for anything not involving lots of maths (like biology) then you'll be fine
I actually passed maths :0 I'm so shocked. I had prepared myself to sit it again. How did everyone else do?

Totally! I was the exact same, don't think I could have got any more marks even if I sat any longer. Maybe with more revision but naaa.

It was the only thing i revised for although i knew i was gonna fail anyway despite grasping it in class, in fact being one of the few to do so and answer stuff. :dontknow:

Anyone got a link to the paper, my brother sat it this year and says he feels ok about it but I know that means he's had difficulties.
