Good luck to all the Scottish kids who will get their exam results tomorrow- especially to all those who have sat the new National 5s and may be feeling nervous - I know I am!!

Well done to your dd, PiggyPlumPie!

combust22 - I'm sorry to hear his results may affect his Higher choices. How many Nat5s did he sit?

I'm afraid I was one of the people who was upset that dd was only getting to do 6 subjects at the start of the year, and relieved at the end of the year when the reality of Portfolios, exam study etc. actually hit.

It's a fail.

Not so great here. A couple of Ds- I am not sure if that is still a pass.

I am really, really pleased. Everything was so up in the air this year - some details for the syllabus and portfolio work was changed at the last moment etc.. She was very pessimistic this week. Physics was always an unknown quantity as she had various issues with it during the year and had a hard job motivating herself to study for the exam, which she found very hard. I think she had decided she had failed it, so I am really delighted with a B. She is not carrying that subject on to Highers... thankfully!

I made her sign up for text and email results as our holiday plans were not finalised at the beginning of July, and was worried we would be away when the results appeared.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else.

purple- that's fantastic!!!

Wel done to your DD she must be very happy. You can relax now!! ther rest of us are still on tenderhooks.

Luckily DS is still asleep, so I'm tiptoeing around so he doesn't have the agonising wait for too long.

My nephew & some friends children are due these tomorrow. Do they get them online now or do they still have to wait for the postman?

RawCoconutMacaroon · 05/08/2014 09:07

Also waiting for mail (usually late morning), which we have be told to open, as DS is away on holiday... I think the morning is going to crawl by SO slowly.

Well done purple's DD - you must be delighted!

Forgot to sign up in time for the text service, and our post doesn't come until lunchtime too.

Either DS is playing it cool or he genuinely is a space cadet as I had to remind him yesterday that the results come out today.

PurpleFrog · 05/08/2014 08:25

Dd signed up for text alerts. 5As and a B! Phew! Grin

Glad it's not just me. I have to pop out shopping first- our post doesn't come till lunchtime, so it's best I keep busy. DS is feeling nervous too.

Purple my DD started panicking this week as well!

She was reasonably confident after the exams...

Hope the post comes early today!

Nat 5s here as well. I have my fingers crossed. DD seems to be having a crisis of confidence at the moment.
