If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

You will find that in the individual subject forums.
You need MS Excel to open the files, or another program that can interpret .xls files.

I can't open those files either! Could someone post the info on Higher Psychology (new), French and Human Biology? I'll be your best friend forever! Or I'll leave you alone, whatever you prefer 
The race is long, and in the end it's only with yourself.

Any updates on the Standard Grades by any chance? 
Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common -- they are shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity... and in a flash, they're gone.

in the grade boundaries spreadsheet I can only see the number of people who achieved certain grades but not the precentages required to get each grade.
I would like to know the boundaries for:
H Chem
H Bio
H Eng
H Maths
H Geo
thanks in advance

If you don't have MS Office you should get OpenOffice which is free and has many of the features that MS Office has.

Yeah I noticed that, I think I'm going to wait till school has been back for a bit, then go and find out what I got.
I'm really interested in finding out what my Advanced Higher investigations got.
