Attainment Statistics (December) 2018

Scottish Qualifications Authority – Attainment Statistics (December) 2018
The following sets of tables contained within the Attainment Statistics (December) report show a summary of attainment in
English and Literacy & Mathematics and Numeracy as well as detailed entry and/or award information for all subjects
in each qualification type by SCQF level.
National Course (National 2-5, Higher, Advanced Higher, Scottish Baccalaureate) statistics relate to
entries due for completion in the academic year (eg 1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018).
This publication updates the August report, now including information following the conclusion of the Results Services procedures
and the receipt of any late results.
These statistics are course-based analyses, ie results are based on both the learners' course assessment results (where applicable)
and their successful completion of the related units.
Non-National Course (Awards, National Certificates and National Progression Awards) tables detail the number of entries
successfully certificated between 1 August 2017 and 31 July 2018.
English and Literacy & Mathematics and Numeracy
Here, the Course Attainment tables relate to a number of specific National Courses (National 2-5,
Higher, Advanced Higher) and the attainment reported is the number of entries resulting in a Grade A-D for
graded courses or a Pass for ungraded courses.
Unit attainment tables relate to the Literacy and Numeracy CfE unit - more information on these units can be found on the SQA website
https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/47502.html
The reported attainment is the number of successfully certificated entries between 11 August 2017 and 10 August 2018.
This criteria provides a better measure of attainment in relation to National Course attainment, although the date criteria does differ from
other externally published unit reports, such as the Annual Statistical Report.
It should be noted that learners may have gained attainment in both course and unit qualifications.
This attainment could also be gained across different SCQF levels.
Attainment by SCQF level
An overview of the format and content of these reports can be found on the next worksheet, 'Table Format and Content'.
National 2 - 4, Skills for Work and Personal Development Courses are all ungraded courses
National 4 figures include those candidates attaining this level due to the Recognising Positive Achievement Process
National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses are all graded A to D

Grade D indicates that the learner has achieved all the required National Units for the course at that level
and has achieved a band 7 in the external assessment.
In The Scottish Baccalaureate, a Distinction requires a grade A in one of the Advanced Highers, one other
grade A in one of the other components and at least a grade B in all other components. A Pass is awarded to
those who achieve at least a grade C in all mandatory components.
For each qualification type a breakdown of candidates by stage group has been provided. The reported stage groups
cover third, fourth, fifth and sixth year school candidates, Other School candidates (which includes first year, second
year and adults attending school), Further Education Colleges, and Other (which covers candidates outwith school
or college, for example workplace candidates).
Attainment Statistics (December) 2018 - Tables
For each SCQF level a number of different attainment tables are supplied.
Attainment Summary
The top section of each sheet shows an Attainment Summary which will consist of up to two tables - One for Graded and one for Ungraded qualification types.
These tables give a overview of attainment across qualification level at a particular SCQF level, for this year and the previous year.

Full Attainment
Below the Attainment Summary is the Full Attainment section. Here, Attainment for all qualification types is detailed at subject level.
There are three different table formats depending on the qualification type.
For Graded Qualifications (National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher)

The table shows the actual number attaining, and the number as a percentage of entries, across grades A to D and No Award, with the final column the total number of entries. This is repeated for the previous year.
Please note that, across grade A to D, the number and related percentages are reported cumulatively.
Therefore when looking at the table column A-C, for example, the number and percentage are of those who attained a Grade A or B or C.
The No Award columns are not cumulative and show the actual number and percentage of entries with a No Award.
