Information requested

Thank you very much for your response to my recent FOI request and for the data you provided. I apologise for not being sufficiently clear in my original request. Upon reviewing the materials provided, I have realised that some sections I previously requested are not necessary, so please do not proceed further with those.

To clarify, I would be grateful if you could provide:

The format and type of information as presented in Part Five of a previous FOI request I made, which I have attached here for reference. Please could you provide this for the period 2020–2025? I have also attached the previous FOI (covering 2020–2024). If possible, please differentiate between A1 and A2 grades.
The percentile distribution of attainment, for example, indicating what percentage of candidates in Scotland would fall into the same bracket as someone achieving grades such as AAAA, or the percentage of candidates who have ever attained AAAA or higher.

I hope this clarification makes my request easier to process, and I apologise again for the confusion caused by my earlier wording and hope that I am not causing any trouble on your end.

Thank you very much for your continued assistance.
