What do you guys get as prizes? Do you just get certificates, or do you get an actual prize? At my school, Standard grade prizes get £15 worth of book tokens per prize, and for Higher it's £20 worth of book tokens per prize. Last year I got the Standard Grade prizes for English, History and German, and with my book tokens I bought a medical encyclopedia! ![]() |

optimisations problems - i think its calculus problems (e.g. differentiation)

even tho its some marks short its fine
they can use it
as long as there is an adequate proportion of A/B coverage and all outcomes are assessed then you should get the appeal as long as there is also appropriate cut-offs, marking schemes enclosed etc

I'm not entirely sure but there are three of us joint winner for the physics prize, First place is £100 and Second place is £50, so they added the 2 prizes together and divided by 3 so it's £50 each for the joint winner for the physics prize. |
Wow! Is it book tokens or actual money?

It's money. I'm also the winner of the Dr. Montgomery Prize for Maths, and I think you get £100 for that. I'll let you know on the 18th, if so, the drinks are on me! ![]() |
What school do you go to? This hardly seems fair lol!

Teachers
Unfortunately its usually private school students who always seem to get it

I know for sure they do it for H Biology and Chemisty
I have heard that it applies to most Higher subjects that are high in popularity
The money comes from sponsors not the SQA e.g. insitute of biology, royal society of chemistry etc

Im not sure how you find out for sure. I suppose the SQA tell you as they presumably pass on the information directly to these organisations.

Only if you get the top mark.
Unless you are taking a subject with component marks this year e.g. AH Chemistry in August you can find out exact mark for Section A, Section B and Report.
