Understanding Scottish exam certificate

[Keepit]

I’m helping a friends sibling with her cv but I don’t really understand the Scottish grades of national 4 and 5s, I’m from the time of standard grades...

From google, it seems national 4s don’t require an exam so if they are on the certificate this is a pass, is that correct?

She has 2 national 5’s with a D result is this a fail? And 1 higher with a D result. Are these worth including on the cv for the recognition of doing the course or not? Thanks

My Dd always adds her D result. Ds has omitted his F award. National 4's are still a qualification.

The SQA website doesn't class a D at Nat 5 as a pass so I would miss that off a CV. Same with a D at higher lever.

A D is classed as a Pass at Nat 5 it is just employers, colleges etc usually ask for above.

SQA don't class a Nat 5 D as a pass, the mark for a D is generally about 40-45%.

You are classed as having a D pass . The recommended progression route would upgrading not sitting Higher. Their percentage varies with grade boundaries which are published by SQA yearly.

The removal of internal units and fallback Nat 4s makes it all the more important to recognise that a D is a Pass otherwise some pupils would have no exit level literacy and numeracy qualifications.

I know it seems daft that less than 50% is deemed a pass and colleges, employers are looking for passes at C and above but that is the guidelines.

When Units ended with the last year doing them in S6 now, a D at N5 and Higher became classed as a pass.

N4 is pass / fail and ungraded.

Sorry I wasn't aware of the change. Last DC left school last year!
