Hey! If you're doing Higher Chemistry and you achieve a grade A, that's actually a great achievement and could be considered stronger than just meeting the Nat 5 requirement.
As long as you meet the specific entry requirements for Chemistry at Nat 5 (grade B) according to you, they may prioritize Higher Chemistry if you perform well.
