Re: SQA Results DayYou can appeal for one individual section?(Original post by Quick-use)
Hopefully you can. I did Standard Grade Modern Studies and throughout the whole year I got 1s for my ES but I always got 3 or lower for my KU
But the good thing was that in the prelim I got a 1 for my ES and 4 for my KU which averaged to a 2 overall. However, in the actual exam I got 1 for my KU (I revised loads) and 2 for my ES resulting in an overall 2 but my teacher appealed for me to get a 1 for my ES having got it throughout the whole year and I ended up getting two 1s which made it an overall 1.

I think we should also remember that those on TSR are like minded and stereotypical high achievers in academia(Original post by Klink)
Absolutely dreading the 7th after that abomination that was Higher Maths Paper 2.. what a joke
Opened it up looking for "easy" question I could do. Question 1,2,3 hrmmm. Question 4,5,6 okayyy... Question 7 WTH???

I agree, we may all be fussing over A/B boundaries whereas some outside TSR will be fussing over whether they achieve enough to pass well. We do not give the overall picture and secondly my head of maths encouraged us to complain as so many people agreed the style of the question was what made it "harder". I remember getting to question 5b and thinking "aww b*****d" even thought I may have not got the final answer, I've got working and that gives me hope. I remember credit last year thinking well gonna be doing int2 and somehow managed a 2. However there were perhaps 30/130 people in Higher maths this year in our school resitting and are expected to get A's or B's for uni so they will be just as worried.(Original post by anthonyfl)
It's fine, I've heard loads of people saying that = pass mark will be lowered

Re: SQA Results DaySure can, it was done for me in maths last year when I had a 1:2. They appealed the 2 and it was put up to a 1, pointless in that case because the overall grade remained as a 1 but it was a nice gesture I s'pose :P(Original post by nerd434)
You can appeal for one individual section? -

Re: SQA Results DayI sat Advanced Higher Biology, Chemistry and Maths and Higher History this year. I've done a pretty good job of not thinking about results day at all if I can help it, but considering how awful I was at revision this year (I let myself get distracted) I'm dreading it now. I know I won't have done as well as I did in the Prelims and I'm disappointed in myself. That said, last year I came out of the Higher Maths exam and cried, I thought it had gone so badly but I got the grade I wanted in the end so it all came out alright.
Ideally I'd like an A1 in Biology and History, and an A2 in Chemistry and Maths but I don't think that's happened. If I get anything below a B I'll be annoyed with myself because I know I should've done better. Not saying a C is a bad grade, just that I'll be angry with myself if I do worse in my final exams than I did in my Prelims.

Has anyone noticed the past papers aren't working on the sqa site ?
Note- if it doesn't work for you hold CTRL + F and type 2012! You will then find seven 2012.pdf files.
could this mean this years papers are being uploaded?!

I've noticed that since I got an unconditional, I no longer care about my exam results this year.

What are you studying and where?Medicine at Edinburgh... and well, there is one condition. That Disclosure Scotland confirm I'm not a murderer or paedophile or anything. I've never even had a slap on the wrist from the police, so I'm all good.(Original post by Quick-use)
