Higher Results

Tags: , , August 6, 2008 (0 comments)

Just under a year after I got my Standard Grade results, I received my Higher results today, via SMS, as the only real way to get them when in Copenhagen without internet access (I am now in Kalmar, with internet access). Needless to say, they are:

ComputingA
EnglishB
FrenchC
MathematicsB
PhysicsA

I ought to have done better in French and maths — with French I certainly have the evidence to appeal that (I should have, if I hadn't completely wrecked one essay, got a B); however, with maths, having been ill for a great part of the year, I only improved very late, resulting in a lack of evidence to appeal with. That said, I am still doing maths, so it is less important.

For those who want a quick run-down of the grades, anything equal to or greater than 50% is a pass, and the percentages break into grades roughly as follows (see the Wikipedia article for more information):

GradePercentage
A70% and above
B60% – 69%
C50% – 59%
D45% – 49%
No Award44% and below
