Information requested
I request the following recorded information:
For the 2025 exam diet, please provide, for National 5 qualifications:
1. The total number of awards at each grade band (A1, A2, B3, B4, C5, C6, D7, and No Award), across all subjects combined (national totals).
2. The same grade band breakdown separately for each individual National 5 subject offered in 2025.
For clarity:
• “Grade band” refers to the SQA’s internal band classifications within each letter grade (A1, A2, etc.).
• “No Award” refers to candidates who did not achieve a D7 or above.
• I am requesting aggregated national figures only, not candidate-level or school-level data.
Please provide the information in a machine-readable format (e.g., Excel, CSV) if possible.
