The purpose of the Understanding Standards Website is to help teaching professionals fully understand the standards of assessment as they are applied by the SQA examination
Visitors to the website have the opportunity to consider the principles which underpin the marking of their subjects and to apply this understanding by marking a number of candidate responses and comparing the marks they give with those given by the examination team.
The website is specifically designed for use by teaching staff, so it assumes subject knowledge and some familiarity with the various assessment arrangements. Courses covered range from Access 3 through to Advanced Higher, as well as HN and PDA.
