Question: -
I am thinking of taking Craft & Design next year but am am not sure if I will be successful at Higher, what options are there for me?

Answer:-
Although Craft & Design is being offered as a new Higher Still Higher students who are having difficulty performing at that level will be able to default to Intermediate 2.
So you could attempt the higher with the firm option of an Intermediate 2 award.
You will be allowed to change to Intermediate 2 after the first two units (in December) if you are not achieving higher outcomes.
