Wilky1878 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Nat 5 Maths - B Nat 5 English - B Nat 5 Engineering Science - B Nat 5 PE - B Nat 5 Physics - B Nat 5 Music - C Nat 4 Geography - Pass Nat 4 History - Pass Level 4 RME - Pass Nat 5 results are a joke this year. (Un)surprisingly high. We got told off all our teachers that it would be easy as they had to justify changing the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McB Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 These 'Nat 5s' must be easy as f**k. We got told off all our teachers that it would be easy as they had to justify changing the system. SQA nobbled to make sure that the change would be seen as a great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely best to be in that year there than next. I fear for Higher classes this coming year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Was anyone else sitting exams in may/June there? My results: Int 2 Admin - A How did you find Admin? I'm considering keeping on as it sounds like a fairly easy pass but on the other hand it's mindnumbingly boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The Nat 5 maths exam literally copied and pasted questions from the Int 2 exam. Hopefully everyone got the results they were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves money, see also no external exam for national 4, saves a shit load of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's an absolute shambles that a hard working pupil that isn't quite up to Nat 5 level gets the same grade as someone who doesn't give much of a toss but can easily pass 3 open book NABs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so boring if you have a decent teacher/your mates are in your class, like every subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well stamp PASS on the forehead of every kid in S4. Big questions about the system and I'd be amazed if it stays like it is now for much longer.

stumigoo Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 On a different note, as a teacher I was disappointed with my results this year from my S5 Higher class and S6 Higher class. So I am currently doing the yearly "Right as soon as I go back I'm going to be a different teacher, I am going to be much better, much firmer and work a hell of a lot harder" then I look in the mirror and repeat the age old Jamaican mantra, "I see pride, I see power, I see a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!" over and over again.

Hedgecutter Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Shiiiiiite... I'm already out of touch with the school system. This means I'm already like my mother who had no idea what any of my grades were unless it was an O level. Basically, old.

If you're a PE teacher, I really hope you can start giving them bobsledding next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I still find it bizarre how Prelims can no longer be used as the basis for an appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Some teachers/schools took the piss and so blatantly revised exactly what was in the prelim that whole classes were doing significantly worse in the final exam but getting upgraded on appeal.

Gaz Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Mainly private schools were doing thatBollocks. Have you any idea how much pressure a state school from a low socio-economic area is under to improve their results year upon year (despite the abilities of pupils visibly dropping considerably each intake)?
