    Do unis get our results before we do? I didnt think they did, but i was on track and it said the service was restricted because of them processing examination results to institutions!!? I was hoping they didnt so I could phone and bargain if I just missed my conditional... and Im 100% not going to my insurance and havent told them lol

    Bit rubbish that institutions get your results before you do.
    Well they need to know who's met their conditions and who's not, how many places they have left so they can get prepared for clearing, be able to sort out accommodation, etc. Universities will have a lot of work to do in between them getting your results and you getting them so they can deal with all your phone calls/emails.

    Frankie and Bennys at Silverburn are giving away free deserts on results day with production of an SQA certificate and purchase of a main meal - sounds good!

    I would say don't worry, but it would be extremely hypocritical as I'm the kind of person who gets nervous at the teeny-tiniest things, admittedly I would worry for the results of a check test on the 10 times table :ashamed:.
    The annoying thing for me is that I'm generally an over-confident laidback person. I wasn't nervous on the exam days and the last thing I said to my mother before my HNC interview was, "All I need to do is impress people - it'll be easy". And it was. So I'm not used to feeling nervous and I don't think I like it. :lol:

    Slept in until 11:30am today and watched three films in the afternoon/evening to pass time. And time still feels as if it's going too slowly. Why is not Monday night yet!?

    Haha I'll keep my head down, don't worry. Just don't be surprised if by the time you get there there is no cheesecake left.

    And yes, I echo your cheesecake statement!

    I don't know about all unis but I know for sure that Dundee gets the results 2 days prior to results day.

    Haha it's what's keeping me sane!

    My offers are:
    Glasgow University - French/Latin AAAB (firm)
    Stirling University - French/Spanish BBBB (insurance)

    What are you hoping to study?

    Re: SQA Results Day
    Lol!!
    Strathclyde University - Social Work B (firm)
    Dundee University - Social Work - Unconditional
    I really want to go to Strathy, but I genuinely feel like I've messed up all of my exams this year just because I got so stressed. In all of my prelims I got AAC, so I SHOULD be fine, but second thoughts are creeping in!
    Are you feeling confident or a bit nervous??
