SQA results support thread

OMG you're an undercover journo aren't you?

DD has "found the answer" apparently - texts will be sent between 8 and 9am, emails will go out in batches throughout the night.

She's now planning to sit up and wait!

I did indeed and even ended up in a related industry

They were good enough to get an unconditional offer for the uni of my choice. (DH did 6 highers in fifth year and went straight to uni). We are and at DD's lack of interest and application.

Did you have to continue doing your paper round after you'd opened your envelope?!

Choco, were the results good or bad 30 years ago?

I met my postie when I was out dong my paper round, so I was alne and at the side of a road when I got mine.

My DD can't decide whether to look at her email or wait for the post. Look at the post DD and put us out of our misery!

(My highers results went to the wrong house. I had to trek across town to get them then trek back home, where my expectant GPs were waiting. They were much more confident of the results being good than I was.) Nearly 30 years later I can still feel the dread of opening the envelope!)

DD2 said her school is opened tomorrow I am guessing that is for anybody who is having a meltdown about results I said to her it is probably more for the 5th and 6th years though

dd1 got her emails during the night she said but that couldve been 7 30 in the morning

DD is now home again and reckons that the emails will come between 6 and 8am. According to her friend. Apparently.

My Ds, my Dd and I are planning to go to Tesco for some late night shopping, mainly to kill time before we come back to wait for the email. They plan to stay up till it comes, I'll be going to bed by 2am if it hasn't arrived!

dd is doing a mixture of standard grades an int2s and she did quite well in the prelims but I hope she didnt go to bits in the exams I am sure it will be fine, she did warn me not to hold out for music as her performing wasnt great

standard grades here well not me DD2 she didnt sign up for the text results but dd1 got an email dd2 just wants to wait for the post man , good luck to all

I've also got one waiting for Advanced Higher results with a confirmed place. Sadly the confirmed place means she didn't work very hard, so she is not expecting the results to be very good.
She got her results by text last year, but didn't bother this time.

What are your kids hoping to so? DD wants to be a teacher, but is only just going into fifth year so there is time in hand if this is a tough year.

My DD is bright, lovely and I adore her. But she can be qute dizzy, and often just doesn't get stuff, so panics - nit handy in exams.

Aww - great idea!

Anyone else feeling quite immature again . I can just imagine my mum saying, "A watched kettle never boils dear."

We will have a team hug tomorrow (((((chocca)))))

Ohh Cormoran, how horrible for her and you. I hope she's done well and subsequently has more confidence for her highers.

I used to wonder why parents got so het up about their DC's results - surely if they hadn't tried hard and not done well they would have learned a valuable life lesson - I used to think. Blooming expensive lesson to learn though. Blooming frustrating and annoying watching them resist all your efforts to get them to understand that one year of effort is not much time out of the whole of their life and will afford them so many more choices......

It must be equally bad when your DC don't perform to the best of their abilities in exams. Hope she's pleasantly surprised.

Good for you chocca, I feel your pain.

I have a DD. DS never signed up when it was his turn.

DD is awaiting seven standard grade and int 2s and has no idea if she has passed or failed.

My DD didn't sign up this year - she forgot. But she read out a message from the SQA which stated that if you have not opted out of the email/text service you'll get an email before 9am. She did register for the text/email last year so maybe that keeps her on the email list? Not sure what happens if you've never registered.

DD is hoping for AABC. I'll be delighted if she gets AACC (minimum effort as previously mentioned, despite her requesting us to get her a tutor then doing the absolute minimum of the work he set her ). However, she knows that she might have just missed a C for maths. I hope she hasn't got ABCD, which is possible. AAAAAGGGHH.

Most of her friends are predicted AAAAA - if DD hasn't done well I think hope she will feel foolish for not trying harder.

Sorry to hijack, but I do feel a bit better for getting that off my chest!

Ooooooooooo so I might get to know Dd's result before gong to work oooooooooooooooooooo!

I think some of DD's friends got their email in the middle of the night last year!

So it coud be 12.05 am?
