2022 Scottish exam results

[Quartz]

My niece has just had the results of her National 5 exams (GCSE / O level equivalents). She got straight A grades: 5 A band 1 and 3 A band 2. Well done her!

Congrats to her, especially with the grades fall with the reintroduction of exams.

Well done Nicola and her education department.

That was always likely to happen. Parents "petitioning" teachers to give high grades during the COVID changes.

Damned whatever they do.

Cohorts tend to compete with themselves anyway, so most important to ensure consistency within the year.

No they largely changed that. There's no longer a standard distribution of results. They set boundaries for grades and then may adjust them a few percentage points so it is theoretically possible for everyone to get straight A's. It never used to be.
