### Clue: More than one out of two is of higher standard (5,3)
### Answer: ABOVE PAR 
 ### Explanation: Definition: of higher standard
  Cryptic defn:  Above average,of a higher standard.  One is the average of (none and) two; so out of two, more than one is above the average.  Not to be confused with "under par", which in golf means of a higher, and not lower, standard.  Edit.note:  Put another way, a score of one upon,out of two is average; anything more than that is above average.  But  has got a better explanation for which thank you.
