The Scottish Qualifications Authority has เกมสล็อต defended the replacement system for this year's exams, insisting they were based on teacher judgement.
In her first interview in a year SQA chief executive Fiona Robertson also refused to apologise for the algorithm used last year which revised grades down based on past performance.
Some pupils and parents criticised this year's assessment process as "exams by another name".
The results are out next week.
Most pupils already know their individual grades but the national picture is expected to become clear.
When National 5, Highers and Advanced Higher exams were cancelled for the second year in a row due to the pandemic, pupils were told they would be assessed by teachers throughout the year.
But school closures during the second national lockdown meant many had to sit a large number of assessments in a short space of time when they reopened.
Concerns were raised about the fairness of the process and that pupils were sitting the "assessments" in school time without appropriate study leave.
There were also reports that questions and answers were being widely shared on platforms such as TikTok.
