Re: MySQA 2012Unless you live in the Falkirk Council area as the council is too tight to give us it off.(Original post by mysqa)

Cheapskates. I'm hoping the buses will still be running or I'll have to get up at about 5.00 and walk it!

Re: MySQA 2012According to the MySQA website it'll be between 8-9am on Aug 7th:(Original post by Shahrukh9000)
When will we get our results by text?
(Original post by MySQA Website)
We will send a text message containing your exam results between 8am and 9am on Tuesday 7 August 2012.
I finished my exams on May 18 -- coincidentally, also my 20th birthday. But it was for my fave subject so I wasn't annoyed -- and I'm really anxious to hear back already!! Not sure why considering that I've an unconditional offer for my course next year (HNC Communications & Media) but at the same time I've no idea how I'm going to make it through the summer not knowing.

Re: MySQA 2012Texts and emails will be sent out to arrive with you no later that 9am on the 7th. HOWEVER as we know from previous years, a very few get held up by some hosts and can take a couple of hours to wing their way to you. This, I'm afraid, is completely beyond our control. So most of you will get them by 9, but I'm afraid some may have to wait a little longer. Sorry.

And is it like the teachers mark the paper and then put your results into the computer or something?
Thanks

Re: MySQA 2012Papers are being marked now. Markers are allocated a pile, they mark them, then the marks they give are matched up to other marks by other markers on the same paper so that we can ensure fairness and consistency across all papers. Obviously computers come into it, but there's a lot of eyes on paper involved as well to ensure every question in each paper is given the same treatement no matter which marker has looked at it.

Re: MySQA 2012After all the excitement of seeing Cliff Richard's hips and Grace Jones's hoola-hoop for the Jubilee, it's time to get back to work - tomorrow Care, Architectural Technology, Electronic and Electrical Fundamentals, Politics, Mechatronics and Fabrication and Welding Engineering. Have at it!

Re: MySQA 2012You'll receive the results the same day. Just earlier.(Original post by OddThings)
This is probably obvious but I heard otherwise from people so wanted to reclarify,that if you have signed up for MYSQA,you will receive your results the day before the post results?
