[quote=Anonymous][quote=scotcitz]hi, on a practical note, I could use some help in how to translate grades and whether others have had trouble with this -- the county gave my daughter very low marks for her Scottish GSCEs. I will go back to them and dispute, but any help/experience from others appreciated. Also, if anyone has made it through the first year or two post-move from the UK, I would be interested in how colleges etc viewed Scottish grades, any tips on how to help Scottish/British students adapt. I am not looking forward to standardized testing. I am American myself, as is my husband, but high school was a loooooong time ago for us. [/quote]

Hmmm. The first place I might contact if I were you is actually the both the British school of Washington (http://britishschoolofwashington.org/) to see if they can help you "translate" those courses and grades to Blair. It's a long shot, but they might be able to lend a hand. Also, there's a DC brits meetup - perhaps one of them might have some ideas for you?
