FOI24/25 059 Component Marks for 2023 Higher Drama

I hope this message finds you well. Following the request I made last year for the breakdown of component marks for the 2023 Higher Drama written paper, I am writing to request similar information for the 2024 exam results.

Specifically, I would like to request a detailed breakdown of the component marks for the 2024 Higher Drama written paper. I am interested in the marks allocated for each of the three sections—section one, section two, and section three. If possible, please provide this information in a spreadsheet format, encompassing all Higher Drama written exam scores across Scotland for the year 2024.

As with my previous request, I understand the importance of student privacy and data protection regulations. Therefore, I kindly ask that the information be aggregated or anonymised to ensure that individual students cannot be identified.

The data provided last year, particularly the average scores for each section, was highly useful. This year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could also include additional statistics, such as the range of scores and standard deviation for each section. Furthermore, if available, I am interested in a school-by-school breakdown of the average mean scores for each section, with appropriate measures taken to anonymise the data where student numbers are low.

The information requested is contained within the spreadsheet.

Please note these statistics are provisional and may be subject to change after completion of SQA’s appeals process.
