Higher Art

My son wants to apply for Vet med and is about to start his Highers. He has chosen Art (as well as Sciences) but a few people have said that Art is one of those subjects where it is impossible to predict what kind of grade you will get - many students predicted with As get much lower marks. I think he knows of two examples of this. Just wondered what the broader experience is as wondering if he should change this choice to something more concrete, in terms of marking.

thanks!

I've seen a similar thread (maybe on Fb?) where the girl has her heart set on vet med and she got 4 As in the academics but got a low C in art instead of the predicted A. Obviously now worried she doesn't have what she needs to secure a place. Personally I'd get them to choose something else and if the want to do H Art, do it in 6th.

I saw that thread too, not worth the risk IMO if he basically needs 5 As
