2026 SQA exams - is there a thread?

[YouBelongWithMe]

I can't see a thread so am starting it!

Last year my DS went through a mix of Hs and AH in S6 and now is finishing first year of uni.

It's now the middle child's turn - she's sitting six Highers in S5, and they're all packed in over about thirteen days! She's totally finished by the 11th.

Can't believe they've come round so fast.

@TartanMammy Yes I did say I was just venting. Not to derail the thread, but I was brought up to be considerate of neighbours and let them know if something disruptive was going to be happening. These neighbours are the opposite of that.

Good luck to everyone doing Art and Design this morning and any exams this afternoon. Last one for DD.

Good luck for Art and Design today. thankfully for her, there’s been a lot of time since the last exam (history) for DD to revise sensibly for this without losing momentum thankfully and then we are done!

Scary stuff and a long wait to results day!

DD said H Art was ok, but she wasn't happy with the like options for each piece.

All I’ve heard is ‘The last one was a bit bad but not too awful’ but she’s with friends and I’m obviously pestering.

last exam is done, DD is happy. It was Nat 5 Italian for her today and was apparently a good paper.
Pleased for her as we had a struggle to keep her doing Italian - which is what she wants to do at uni - but we got there in the end

Finished here too (Higher Mandarin). Glad the weather is glorious, so a few days to enjoy before back to school on Monday.

Glad the final exams are going well. Feel sorry for those doing ESOL, Philosophy and Latin who don't get a break before school restarts.

As open days are now starting in earnest, I've started a University entry 2027 thread. Hope to see some of you over there, whether you've been through it this year and have tips or you have DC applying for 2027.

I have twins doing Highers this year. Twin 2 had his first on pretty much the first day of exams (geography) and finished today with Philosophy. He says it went well - though he only realised at the last minute that I'd only put the time for paper 2 on the calendar and he had to fly out to get there on time for paper 1. Thankfully he made it and thinks it went well. Celebrations tonight, back to start S6 on Monday!
