A, B, C to pass, and if you get a D that means you just failed. Otherwise, you get No Award.

Last year, just failing a higher would get you an A in Intermediate 2, which is equivalent to an A at GCSE (I think), and just failing an Advanced Higher would get you an A at Higher.

Sorry for reminding you :frown:

I thought schools got them the day before, but people have been telling me they get them electronically on Friday... who knows.

They used to publish the exam results alot earlier, I guess they wanted the students to know as soon as possible... though that all changed after they messed up a few years back :rolleyes:

Oh it's alright. Hopefully when I'm at summer school I'll manage to forget. I don't remember a lot of people worrying there last year. Next Monday's going to be hell on earth though. All my aunts and uncles are asking about me :frown:. I hope I don't have them all calling up next week :frown:

The schools do get them electronically on Friday - but no one's allowed to see them except the office staff and the SMT - the teachers can see them on Tuesday like everyone else.

I got my first exam results envelope opening nightmare last night - I got a C in Maths, which I haven't even studied since S4. Hee hee.

Chin up everyone, you'll be okay.

Am I correct in thinking the English results come out on the 19th? I took STEP exams and will have to phone the school where I did them to find out what my results are.

I couldn't remember what day it was, so if anyone could confirm, I'd be grateful.

I'll have to find something to do with myself this week, or I'll spend all week on the UCAS tracking site. :frown:

You never know, it *might* update...

Edit: Yeah, I think it's the 19th.
