SQA results support thread

Sometime before 9am is as much as I know.

DD has signed up for an email alert - how early might it arrive?

Waiting for Standard Grades here.
DS did sign up for results via text but has lost his phone.

We have to go out tomorrow so it will be an anxious wait. Last year the envelope didn't fit in the post box and we had to go to the sorting office the next day. Don't think my nerves could handle that. Luckily I have spoken to the postman and asked him to slide them under the door or just bend the envelope.

I actually feel sick with nerves when I think about it. DS seems fairly laid back.

Found the thread, thanks for the link Agent.

DD is waiting for seven results, she is not confident at all.

She finds exams very stressful and cam go into a bit of a panic, so really has no idea at the end of an exam as to whether she passed or didn't.

Her prelim results were very mixed.

She's definitely going back for fifth year, and maybe sixth, so she has plenty of options, depending in the results.

She would quite like to be a teacher.

Waiting for Standard Grade results here for my Aspergers son. He sat 7 credits and one Int 2. His maths may be a credit failure as he was only in a General/Foundation class but was scoring well so they put him in for the credit exam. Unfortunately he hadn't covered some of the credit material so it's quite unlikely that he will pass with a '2'.

I think I'm more nervous than he is!

Waiting for highers here. DD is convinced she has failed at least one (Biology). But already go back for 6th year so not too nail biting. I think she signed up for text message as she did last year. Good luck all, I hope your dc get the results they need.

They might not offer him a place this year because of his age.

A girl near us got 5 As and has a fantastic personal statement - on the national team for a sport she does, silver D of E etc - but wasn't accepted for a social science course she applied for. She only applied to the uni of her home town so might have been offered a place if she'd applied to more unis I suppose. (Her mum was relieved too!) She has unconditionals for this year though.

I agree that 16 seems very young, especially most of the students from outwith Scotland will be older than the Scottish students who have done a 6th year.

We'll be waiting for the postie too as DC forgot to register for the email/text service. Not looking forward to it as maths looked like it was just on the wrong side of the pass mark.

It must be very disconcerting to not know what you're going to be doing after the results.
