Information requested
I would like to know how many candidates in the 2023/24 academic year sat Advanced Higher Biology without having completed higher biology and national 5 biology.
Response
Attached is a table that provides the permutations of those who advanced through Biology from 2020/2021 to 2023/2024.
This shows that 61 candidates sat Advanced Higher without sitting Nat 5 or Higher, and a further 1426 sat Advanced Higher and only 1 of Nat 5 or Higher.
