% getting 5 As?

In my year, 7 out of about 160 got 5 As, though two were post-appeal. So roughly 4%. But I'm at a really good state school, not sure how well we reflect the national average. :confused:

Every year since I started there have been either one or two people getting 5 As, the only exception being the greatest year in school history in which we had 6 of them :eek:

.
Most years are about 180 I think.
I think we're nearer the bottom end, although for each extreme low person there's an extreme high person I guess. Rural rather than inner city.

But then in general (as proven by SG results) your year isn't as good as mine :tongue:

Anybody know what percentage of students get 5 As? Just the A-Level equivalent (in a thread in the academic forum) seem to be 8% yet my mum reckons that for Highers it's only about 2%. Going by my school that seems quite a likely estimate, but I don't know how that compares to the rest of the country.

Is that including GS?

Talking about Scottish Highers not A-Levels, so no General Studies included :wink:

I know, my year was pretty bad. The year before me was also better :rolleyes:

Acaila - where exactly do you live? Sorry, I'm very nosy :tongue:

About 15 miles north of Inverness. A little place (a scummy little place :rolleyes:

) called Dingwall.

Ooh, I drove through Inverness at the weekend (coming home from Orkney). We stopped for lunch in a place nearby called East Kinkell. Aww, I'm sure Dingwall isn't scummy!

Ah I know it :smile:

And Dingwall is like some kind of hellmouth for neds :wink:

Ach, neds are unavoidable. You seem to have turned out ok, so it can't be that bad! :tongue:

I'm originally from Stirling, so rather than being pushed into the cult of Burberry, I'm a focal point for all ned animosity.

Wait a sec...

Animosity's far too big a word for neds isn't it? :wink:
