Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a ‘First with honours’ in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it’s an excellent result.
*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here
Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here…
She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.
Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.

Holy cow!
That’s even better than I thought. Even prouder of her now.
Thank you
