===A-levels and Advanced Highers===
Some English Universities, such as [[Oxford University]] and [[Cambridge University]], have begun to take into account the wider syllabus involved in studying Advanced Highers and have been giving slightly lower conditions for entry into their institutions. Oxford University's admissions forms require schools to comment on the percentage of students achieving the top grades in examinations, presumably to provide contextual background to the achievements of a particular student. The question is framed in terms of the percentage of candidates achieving AAA+ at A-level and AAB+ for Advanced Higher, possibly indicating that greater value is attributed to the Advanced Higher.<ref>([http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article557498.ece Highers pass A-levels as Oxbridge gold standard - Times Online]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> However, [[Churchill College, Cambridge]] was/is the first Oxbridge College to state that their typical offer for Scottish students will be A1, A1, A2 at Advanced Higher.<ref>{{cite web |title=Typical offers – Churchill College |url=http://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduates/typical_offers.php/ |website=www.chu.cam.ac.uk |access-date=12 July 2021}}</ref>
