(January 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Intermediate 2 level is Level 5 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework; it is the level between Higher and Standard Grade Credit . </P> <P> It was initially available to pupils (generally in S5) who achieved a grade 3 or 4 Standard Grade but, with some schools choosing to use Intermediates over Standard Grade, it is now more available to S3 / S4 pupils (dependent upon the school or individual departments within schools choice). It is believed that in certain subjects Intermediates are more useful to the students than Standard Grades because the work required for completion is more demanding, and better prepares the pupils for Higher, with a similar format to the reformed higher exams . Furthermore, the pupils are introduced to Higher work before they have sat their Intermediate 2 exam which also makes the transition easier (again this is very much dependent upon the subject). </P>
