Is there a marking scheme yet or examiners report. I remember going over the paper thoroughly when I got home the day of the exam and was certain of atleast a B and I ended up with a C. :frown:


Don't think so. I've heard it doesn't come out until October, but not sure how accurate that hearsay is.

Pascal's Triangle? :wink:

Congratulations on your results, very very good indeed!


Thats the one! I might even go as far as to say it was fun drawing it, but that's only cause I'd join up all the 1s and make a... Triangle- I became somewhat distracted in June:smile:
Thanks.
Pilots licence, wooow. I hope to do that... One day

Aero engineering or chemical engineering hopefully at Glasgow. You? I was freaking out about English all through the year but especially on Monday. Most of the time I didn't have a clue what I was saying just wrote stuff, but luckily it worked. Hated the subject! Those are really good results though:smile:

Ooo congratulations! is being a pilot not really hard haha? well done on thise results too :biggrin:! yeah it must be, i can hardly stand studying when im on study leave, never mind after work haha! I actually have no idea yet, keeping my options open i guess:P!


Merci. No it's not that hard, just expensive to learn. :frown: Very very expensive in fact!

Perhaps you can become a teacher... or something? I'm sure there must also be some engineering/computer programming jobs that need a maths whizz... ? :biggrin: Good job on your other Highers too, and I completely agree about the English. Higher English is just one of those subjects that we all do because we have to. After we pass we deliberately forget what oxymorons and the like are. Who needs to know all that pish anyway? :rolleyes:

At least English is behind us now. No more word choice questions or any of that rubbish!!!!!!! Strathclyde should be good for maths, I'll probably apply there aswell cause their engineering courses are meant to be really good. You never know, we might meet each other there:wink:

Haha. The thought of going to uni is scaring me a bit, I've become so accustomed to the 'protected' environment of school. Hoping to savour this last year

The 2012 paper is now on the SQA website. Looking back through it brings back horrible memories for me. Still can't believe I got an A.
