Good luck for Tuesday everyone! I hope you all do as well as you want to! :awesome:
At this time of the year, I always regret being rude to the postman...

Another day successfully killed by staying in bed and doing nothing until 2pm then searching for food and getting a bit of miscellaneous work done :smile:

Only the rest of today and tomorrow to do then I'm ready to stay up refreshing Gmail for at least 3 hours, up to 6 hours :biggrin:

Whatever you do dont use 'auto refresh' on Chrome
When I got my results last year I forgot to disable it when I got my email, I opened it while it tried to refresh and my computer froze. I could only see four results for like 5 mins :tongue:

Not sure if this Twitter account (sqanews) is actually controlled by the SQA, but they seem to have gotten things a little mixed up. :rolleyes:

That shouldn't be a problem as my computer is so damn slow and jittery anyway I never do anything important like this on it.

That's where my surprisingly reliable little iPhone 4s succeeds
Why are you guys just thinking about it , it's just going to make things go slower, nothing you can do now anyway. I'm oddly not nervous because no pint worrying until you get them lol. Anyway as for me, still been enjoying the last day of commonwealth games !

The thing is I literally feed off school. I just shut down over the holidays because I'm not in school. Yes it's totally sad, but I'm actually looking forward to getting the results regardless of what I get. It might actually help lower peoples expectations of me if I do a little worse than expected, which would be a weight off!
Don't worry about your results guys - I'm sure you've all done really well and it'll be a really nice feeling when you've got them and everything is sorted out.
We'll all be online if you need any help with anything so really try not to worry about it.

Out of interest, are people planning to stay up and wait for them or what? If it was me I wouldn't be able to sleep!
Good luck, you guys! I still get jittery at this time of the year, half expecting to get SQA exam results.

I remember I passed the time by hiding in bed all day and ignoring life - only to get the shock of my life when they sent the text a day early! Heart attack. :ahee:

Last year I really did try to sleep, I went to bed at 11 and just couldn't get to sleep at all. Then midnight came and I thought "well they'll be here soon". Didn't even feel remotely tired when they came in at like half 3, then completely passed out after I'd read them because I was so relieved I'd actually gotten them haha

This year, I'm just going to stay up again. I've not been sleeping at all well this summer so I'll be up till about 4 anyway...
Can anybody GUESS what the maths and chemistry pass percentage would be ? If they have sat the national 5 exams ?

You should see a doctor about sleeping - i have insomnia and so know what it's like.

Well, if you need any help when you get them, there'll be a load of us around throughout the night to help out!
