Attainment statistical summary
This document is a summary of entries and attainment on results day in August. This reflects current information at a particular point in time (22 July 2025) and the figures are subject to change later in the year due to processes including appeals and late amendments. The statistics here are therefore considered ‘provisional’.
In this release, entry figures for 2025 are presented with reference to the previous year (2024). Attainment figures for 2025 are generally presented with reference to the previous year (2024) and to 2019 (the most recent year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic). The different awarding arrangements in place between 2020 and 2024 mean that it is not possible to compare attainment across these years without full consideration of this contextual information. This is outlined in the background information section and more details are available on the background information webpage.
Qualifications included
The types of qualification covered in this release are described in Table 1.
The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) has 12 levels which, in ascending order (SCQF levels 1–12), indicate the level of difficulty of a particular qualification. The SCQF allows for broad comparisons to be made between qualifications to allow candidates, employers and the public to understand the range of skills and learning that should be achieved at each level. More information can be found on the SCQF website.

Attainment in graded National Qualifications
In this section, attainment statistics for 2025 are generally presented with reference to attainment in the previous year (2024) and to 2019 (the most recent year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic).
SQA external assessments did not take place in 2020 and 2021 due to disruption caused by the pandemic. Alternative approaches to assessment, relying on teacher judgement, were used to award grades and allow learners to progress. All visualisations of attainment in this report indicate this period using black dashed lines.
The different awarding arrangements in place between 2020 and 2023 mean that it is not possible to compare attainment across these years without full consideration of this essential contextual information.
The return of the national diet of exams in 2022 following the global pandemic included a range of measures to support learners. Because teaching and learning had been disrupted, some course assessments were modified by various methods, including removing coursework from courses. Many of these modifications continued into the 2023 diet in recognition of continued disruption to teaching and learning. Following discussions with learners, teachers, lecturers, parents, carers and others, there has been a return to full course assessment in 2024.
The percentage of entries that achieved an A grade and the percentage of entries that achieved A to C grades are referred to as ‘attainment rates’ throughout this section.

Centre type breakdown
Over time, attainment rates are higher for independent centres than education authority centres, and this continued to be the case in 2025.
FE colleges have relatively low uptake for graded National Qualifications. The range of subjects taken in FE colleges is also considerably narrower than the other centre types. For these reasons, overall attainment rates for FE colleges and the other centre types are not comparable.

Ungraded National Courses
National 2 and National 3 courses are a flexible provision and are not necessarily completed in a single academic year by candidates. Consequently, the results are not directly comparable with other courses.
National 2, National 3, and National 4 courses are all ungraded. The attainment rate (referred to in the following tables as ‘Percentage Attained’) is based on entries which have resulted in a pass.
National 2
There were entries in 15 National 2 courses. Entries totalled 3,085 in 2025 with 2,390 attaining an award. The attainment rate was 77.4%.
| Year | Entries | Number Attained | Percentage Attained |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2,070 | 1,595 | 77.1% |
| 2020 | 2,010 | 1,520 | 75.5% |
| 2021 | 2,185 | 1,505 | 68.9% |
| 2022 | 2,345 | 1,700 | 72.5% |
| 2023 | 3,030 | 2,095 | 69.2% |
| 2024 | 2,905 | 2,180 | 75.0% |
| 2025 | 3,085 | 2,390 | 77.4% |
National 3
There were entries in 36 National 3 courses. Entries totalled 31,630 in 2025 with 27,760 attaining an award. The attainment rate was 87.8%.
| Year | Entries | Number Attained | Percentage Attained |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 19,285 | 16,960 | 87.9% |
| 2020 | 21,800 | 19,945 | 91.5% |
| 2021 | 21,045 | 18,130 | 86.1% |
| 2022 | 20,330 | 17,255 | 84.9% |
| 2023 | 22,480 | 18,930 | 84.2% |
| 2024 | 29,410 | 25,110 | 85.4% |
| 2025 | 31,630 | 27,760 | 87.8% |
National 4
There were entries in 47 National 4 courses. Entries totalled 133,785 in 2025 with 115,065 attaining an award. The attainment rate was 86.0%.
National 4 figures for 2019 include those awarded through the Recognising Positive Achievement (RPA) process. SQA treats National 4 attainment arising through course completion and through the RPA process as being equivalent. While the table below shows a total of 104,865 entries for 2019, this includes those entries arising through RPA. National 4 course entries within centres (excluding entries arising through RPA) were estimated, using certification data, to be 95,870.
| Year | Entries | Number Attained | Percentage Attained |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 104,865 | 92,845 | 88.5% |
| 2020 | 103,595 | 94,230 | 91.0% |
| 2021 | 104,380 | 89,895 | 86.1% |
| 2022 | 124,120 | 106,845 | 86.1% |
| 2023 | 138,670 | 121,810 | 87.8% |
| 2024 | 128,070 | 108,185 | 84.5% |
| 2025 | 133,785 | 115,065 | 86.0% |
Skills for Work
Skills for Work courses are a flexible provision and are not necessarily completed in a single academic year by candidates. Consequently, the results are not directly comparable with other courses.
As the courses are all ungraded, the attainment rate is based on entries which have resulted in a pass.
| Year | Entries | Number Attained | Percentage Attained |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 11,940 | 9,660 | 80.9% |
| 2020 | 14,630 | 12,330 | 84.3% |

Background information
Provisional Attainment Statistics - August 2025 details the main qualifications taken at school and college level by candidates in Scotland: a mix of current National Courses (National 2 to National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher) as well as Skills for Work, Awards, National Progression Awards, and National Certificates.
In this release, attainment statistics for Awards, National Progression Awards and National Certificate qualifications detail the number of certificated entries between 1 August 2024 and 30 June 2025.
The purpose of National Courses, as well as Skills for Work, Awards, National Progression Awards and National Certifications, is to enable certification and recognition for the programmes of work that candidates undertake in the senior phase of secondary education and in colleges.
The broad objectives of National Courses are to provide high standards, and breadth and depth of learning for individual learners, usually assessed via national exams, coursework and/or internally assessed components.
Prior to 2020, the Scottish examination system had been in a period of change since the introduction of the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). Revised National Qualification (RNQ) changes made to the assessment of National 5 courses in 2018, Higher courses in 2019 and Advanced Higher courses in 2020, meant units and unit assessments were removed and each course assessment was adjusted accordingly. In addition, grade D was extended from a notional 45–49% to a notional 40–49%.
In 2020, the Deputy First Minister directed SQA to issue grades, primarily on the basis of teacher estimates. Grades that had been adjusted upwards in an earlier moderation process were also retained.
In 2021, The Scottish Government commissioned SQA to develop an Alternative Certification Model (ACM 2021) for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher. The model was based on teacher judgement, supported by assessment resources and quality assurance.
Throughout 2022, SQA worked with partners across the education sector (including teachers, lecturers, learners, parents and carers) to agree the wide-ranging package of support that was put in place to enable learners to demonstrate what they know, understand and can do, despite the disruption to learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. SQA implemented various modifications and revision support to reduce the assessment requirements for courses and increase learning and teaching time.
In 2023, awarding operated using the established procedure, as far as possible, in order to evaluate the performance of the course assessment, but with consideration given to the following factors:
- impact of the reducing legacy of disruption to teaching and learning caused by the pandemic
- impact of modifications to course assessment
- impact of the removal of revision support
Awarding decisions were therefore ‘sensitive’ to these factors, ensuring that grade boundary decisions recognised that performance continues to be impacted. This was informed by the full range of qualitative and quantitative data used during awarding, with additional data from 2021–22 on the impact of modifications.
In 2024, awarding used the well-established procedures to evaluate the performance of the course assessment and, where appropriate, considered the impact of changes to assessment brought about by the return to full course assessment for many courses. These changes to assessment included the removal of optionality in some question papers and the reintroduction of:
- coursework components (projects, assignments, dissertations)
- optional content into question papers
- course content examined in question papers
- an exam component
From 2025, SQA returned to well-established awarding procedures, in line with our Awarding and Grading for National Courses Policy, which is available on the background information webpage.
Users of these statistics should be mindful of the above information when comparing figures from different years.
Figures in this report are rounded to the nearest five. Percentages, percentage changes, and percentage point changes are calculated using figures prior to rounding, and rounded to one decimal place.
Additional background information relating to this release is available on the background information webpage.
All the figures in this statistical summary are available in the data tables that accompany this release.
