sure you can ask like several of your friends to join then too. Statistically, there is one grade downgrade from nat5 to higher. Even with grade A in nat5 you can end up with a B in higher. we need a larger group so we can collaborate effectively and also i have an you tube channel. i post quite regular , you can tell me what video i should make regarding the sqa higher subject
