Can I study both Nat5 and Scottish higher in S5?

Cuz I have only came to Scotland in S5 as I studied before in China,I think with Nat5 grades, it can make me more competitive when applying universities. Btw, my dream school is Cambridge economics,can anyone give me some advice? Thanks a lot

As long as u study Higher maths and English +3 others in S5 you'll be competitive for every school in the country. Most uni's recognise that some schools skip Nat 5's and do Highers. Nat 5's are just a stepping stone into Highers so aren't necessary for uni entry. Just make sure u understand the Nat 5 content before moving onto the higher content.

Thanks for replying, though do I have to submit other grades to the uni to replace Nat5’s grades?
