Standard Grade Chemistry
The Standard Grade qualification in Chemistry is designed for a wide ability range of pupils. It contributes to their general education by making them aware of the applications of chemistry/science in everyday life, providing a suitable base for further study, training or work.
Learners will be introduced to chemical facts, ideas and techniques, and will see applications of Chemistry in society. They will learn to handle and process information, evaluate procedures and draw conclusions. The course will help learners develop an interest in science, themselves and their environment.
The Standard Grade Chemistry Course is at two levels:
- Standard Grade General (SCQF level 4)
- Standard Grade Credit (SCQF level 5)
For more information on SCQF levels and how Standard Grade fits in to the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework, visit our SCQF section.

Data Booklets
The Data Booklet has been adapted for use in digital format.
There has been no change to the content of the booklet.
Bookmarks and links from contents pages have been added (please note that where a section goes over one page, a link from the contents page has not been added to avoid a candidate taking a link to a single page and missing additional pages).
Additionally landscape pages have been re-orientated in line with the orientation of the majority of pages. Candidates may wish to enlarge the screen view of such landscape pages.
These changes are only visible in the electronic view and will not affect the printed version.
Guide to Assessment in the Sciences
This binder draws together appropriate information on assessment from the Arrangements documents, National Assessment Bank materials and update letters for National Qualifications in the Sciences. It is intended to provide an easy access point for information on assessment and it is envisaged that it will be particularly useful to faculty heads, newly qualified teachers (NQTs) and teachers presenting more than one Science. It is an additional resource to be used in conjunction with SQA Arrangements documents and National Assessment Bank materials (NABs).
