Hi everyone
Thought that as the 7th is fast approaching, it would be worth doing a thread to for the day and the build up.
Dd needs a B in anything to get into Uni and ds is getting his Nat5 results. Will be a tense morning.

Disappointed DD3 . 2 A's,,1B, 3 Cs and 1 D. Tears 
. Total rethink for Highers needed and request for remark for PEas she was predicted A awarded C means she must have scored about zero for written element. Oh well Nando's tonight 
for now

5As and a B at Higher from a state school in S5! 
(He did sit Higher Music a year early though)
He's hoping to try for Oxford as well as Glasgow/Edinburgh for Law.
I'm sorry to hear of disappointments as well as delight.
Xx

Lidlfix - that seems strange for PE, given that (unless it has changed since ds did his Nat 5) there isn't a formal exam for it and it's all assignments, an evaluation of performing a sport and a write-up of that sporting event. Ds pretty much knew he'd got an A before he'd even started the rest of his formal exams.
I was talking to his teacher as he was doing the evaluation (a rugby game at a weekend, which happened to be close to where the PE teacher lived, so easy for him to come along - although they could have used a school rugby game) and he said that ds had scored full marks and that he just needed to write up a good report of his objectives and how he delivered them (iirc) then that was him set up for a good result.
What sport did your dd do?
Come to think of it, it wasn't the teacher who taught the Nat 5 who assessed him (that one had tried to persuade us at the Parents' Evening that "live saving would be easier to get a good mark in rather than a team sport and was ds any good at rugby?" 
Fortunately, one of the other PE teachers had been the rugby coach since ds was in S1 (when the school became an official SRU School of Rugby) and knew how good ds was - and had been trained in evaluating for Nat 5
