Number of Standard Grade awards for S4 Pupils: 1997-98 Chart 3
3.10 Highers are awarded at levels A-D. Awards at levels A-C are regarded as a pass. Table 5 shows the number of NC module successes for pupils who gained a Higher pass in S5. About two-thirds of pupils who gained Higher passes in S5 were also successful in at least 1 module, with 35 per cent gaining between 1 and 3 modules and 32 per cent gaining 4 or more modules. Pupils with fewer Higher passes gained more modules, indicating that some pupils may take an NC module as an alternative to a Higher in S5.
