Exam percentages for Cambridge applications

So I'm Scottish and I'm hoping to apply to Cambridge in October 2017 for MML. What I want to know is what percentages are required on your UCAS form. I assume I do not need to state the percentages that I got in my National 5 exams, which are the equivalent of GCSE's, correct? I will need to state the percentages that I got in my highers (as level equivalent), yes? Do I need to state the percentages that I got in all my subjects or just the subjects that are relevant? What percentages will be expected of me? 95%+ in all my subjects? What about advanced highers (a level equivalent)? Thanks in advance.

Just the grade and band if you have it. Not percentages.

The typical requirements are on the course pages.
