Intermediate 1, 2 and Higher Administration Understanding Standards Event Material – 28 October 2009

Delegate material from the Administration Understanding Standards event on 28 October 2009 is now available for centres to download. The purpose of the event was to update teaching staff on minor changes to fully align standard practices across Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2 and Higher Administration. The event covered the use of command words used across Intermediate 1, 2 and Higher levels and their application to marking to the national standard in the Knowledge and Understanding element and to inform teaching staff of the common approach taken to IT levels when marking to the national standards. The event consisted of presentations, practical workshops and gave delegates the opportunity to mark candidates scripts.

Advanced Highers are, as the name suggests, advanced qualifications. They are usually taken in the sixth year at school or at college. People who take Advanced Highers have normally passed Highers. Advanced Highers are National Courses. They are usually made up of three National Units and an external assessment — normally an examination or project.
