SQA Results' Day Discussion Thread - Tuesday 5 August 2014

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!

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!

So guys I sat higher my highers this year and really want 5 a's. I know it sounds selfish but I would see it as a bit of a failure if I didn't get the results I wanted. Before the prelims I was away at a sports competition and therefore off school, nor did I revise- I got a,b,b,b,c in pe, chemistry,English, psychology and maths. What's the chances of me actually getting the 5a's

Can anybody GUESS what the maths and chemistry pass percentage would be ? If they have sat the national 5 exams ?

I'll attempt to get a good nights sleep since I have my Ukcat on friday... Hopefully I will resist temptation to stay up

do the texts start being sent out at 12 or 2? my friend and I are debating it.

Also, please tell me I'm not the only one who's already getting the "I'm so disappointed" speeches. xD

Looking through last year's thread, people started to get results at around 1.10 am so you're both close

I think they start getting sent out around 12am.

My family don't really care too much about my results tbh, my sister is the main one who keeps saying '2 daaayysss' because this is her first year where she's not waiting for any results.

PLEASE

They were both pretty easy imo but we don't have any past papers to compare them to. Based off the difficulty of int 2 papers I wouldn't say that that they would lower the grade boundaries. It's impossible to know until Tuesday though.

Awesome. My mum's the only one who cares, mostly because she threw her life away at my age. Idk, I learnt my lesson and I tried my hardest so there's nothing I can do now. lol, yeah, I'm the one out of my friends who's been reminding them how long we have left.

wit??

There are way too many variables for us to be able to tell.
We have no idea how much preparation you did, how you found the exams on the day and your natural academic ability.
Just because you 'want 5 A's' doesn't mean you'll get it



No-one will be able to, they aren't teachers.
It's legit 2 days, stop stressing about the passmarks.
As a guide, they'd be likely to be about 50%

Yeah, my parents knew I was capable of working hard by myself so they didn't need to 'push' me too much - definitely made it easier!
I was like that a few weeks ago haha, just sending texts to my friends just like '10 days woo!!' ...pretty sure they wanted to punch me :L
Good luck for Tuesday, I'm sure you'll have done well!!

Sorry lol, I didn't realise someone responded to my question.
