So results' day is fast approaching! How are you all feeling for it? I remember how anxious I was coming up to all of mine. :afraid: Feel free to use this thread for all your results' day chat needs! Currently the GCSE and A-level students are putting us to shame with their level of chattiness. :colone:

Fortunately, we've got some guidance for you all written up by a ScotQuals superteam here :biggrin: Otherwise what's everyone doing to cope with the wait!?


I've not thought about them much because for me it's my 6th year results and i already have a uni place. I do remember though this time last year i was a nervous wreck. Good luck to all the people who just did their highers. Keep yourself busy with fun stuff to do and it will soon be results day. :smile:

Meeee!! are youuu:smile:
Im going to hear from text/email as well! but i think i might not open it and wait till post comes anyways! i found a mixture of the papers different, what i didnt like about this particular one you couldnt really do the other parts to the question without the other parts so you needed to know how to do part A to do part b, usually you can still pick up some marks on other parts of the Questions.

That's exactly what I found too!! do you think theres anyway they would lower is from 91 to 85 for an A2
I am also awaiting sixth year results and as much as I like to pretend that I'm not too fussed about them, I'm inwardly bricking it! Oh well, at least I will be free from the SQA. :colone:

there definitely is a chance, im really hoping that a B is like 55% - the normal 60% ... that paper was stressing me out... apart from that exam i think i have done great on the rest.

Finges crossed, that sounds possile too, they should really lower all boundaries by about five percent, btw have u heard the reason why the exam was supposed to be particularly hard

How did u find doing three advanced and one higher, im doing that next year
Yeah im not into Advanced highers id rather have more highers to have a wider horizon of opportunities to more jobs/subjects and stuff and to be honest they aren't absolute necessary for university and higher education which they are mostly used for anyways. i found physics not too bad, there was a question that i completely skipped i think it was the second one in Section B ... and then a few at the end. apart from that Multiple choice was okay i think i got nearly full marks there. how about you?
