SQA Results' Day Discussion Thread - Tuesday 5 August 2014

So there's no way in which money in my possession can be given to someone else in exchange for a service which gives me a qualification?

Pfff. Just because your daddy doesn't love you

Congrats on reading some words and then copying them on a word processor. You're still wrong. #wasteddatprivateschooldolla

I don't want the result to come. It means that the holidays are coming to a close end

Are you getting them via text/email or post?

Post...

Really hoping I've scored highly because of the new grade boundaries on Highers now. You'd wonder why the SQA would take away appeals and change the universal grade percentages in the same year. It just makes our exams a lot harder to do well in which is unfair when compared with previous years. I believe the thinking behind rising the marks for an A to 85% was because of foreign competition; like in America, it's 93% for an A. Just hoping I've scored highly enough and that universities might look at a "new B" with more respect! As always, I think some subjects like English will be lower at around 80%, but who knows! They do say qualifications are dumbed down nowadays so maybe the government are trying to make them more rigorous, but who knows!!

Ahh thats cool - from what I've heard quite a few are actually waiting for the post. At least you can see what others get and check UCAS if it doesnt come quick enough!

I agree I havn't heard of this, do you have any evidence the boundaries have went up?
