Progression Rates SG - Higher
April 2014 Final deadline for SQA Estimates
Progression from Standard Grade to Higher
The progression route to Higher for most school candidates is still largely through
Standard Grade. It is generally accepted that a pass at Credit level in Standard Grade
should provide a sound basis for a candidate sitting Higher in that subject in the
following year, while a General level pass would be more likely to require an additional
year’s study to secure a pass at Higher
Current predictors
Grade 1 at Standard Grade 95% achieved a Higher pass
Grade 2 at Standard Grade 67% achieved a Higher pass
Grade 3 at Standard Grade 34% achieved a Higher pass
Grade 4 at Standard Grade 18% achieved a Higher pass
