SQA Results' Day Discussion Thread - Tuesday 5 August 2014

You still both did really well
You should be proud of your results, and he should too- they're still really great! You'll just be feeling guilty because you're still really hyped on adrenaline and because of the excitement of results so just let everything settle down
There's nothing you can do about it anyway

Thanks for the kind words, do I just phone up the school and say to them I want a re-mark of this and that then drop off the cash? I can't bare to see my Computing teacher, he was expecting an A from me.

Heya, - really well done to you and your twin. Please don't worry about it, he may've just had a bad day, it happens. As it is you've done amazingly and you should both be really proud!

CONGRATULATIONS to both of you!!!

Thank you so much. I know, it just feels like I was hoping for 10 As instead of the 5 for myself.. how greedy. Thank you anyway!!

We are both proud and I do feel guilty for being so upset for him when I know people would be so so chuffed with those results. He's gone out for a drive anyway.. hopefully he can get it remarked! Just wish we'd looked into the appeal process before today

That's unfortunate - what time does he usually come? And what grades are you hoping for?

I'm sure you'll do really well and good luck for when the time comes!

Firstly congratulations on your grades - you absolutely aced it and should feel massively proud of yourself! What you've said is so touching. You sound like the loveliest sibling ever

Your twin has also done incredibly well - people would trade an arm and a leg for grades like that.... long term that B won't matter but I appreciate that right now it doesn't feel like at all.

How is your twin doing?

Thank you I would like five a's... But a mixture of a's and b's or just passes would make me happy! He usually comes around 9 or 10ish fingers crossed!

Heya so I missed out on conditions (UCL asked for AAA* maths in AH) and I got AAB(in maths) and A in H Economics but its cool cause life is life and my insurance is st andrews so I was wondering what do I do now???? do I wait for UCAS to open at 9?? this is very confusing

It's not - you just really care for your twin and what them (boy/girl?) to do the best they can. That makes sense - As gingerbread101 said, he's quoted in She-Ra and she can give you some help/advice hopefully.

Keep your head high, as your twin will be looking for some support and they'll go to you.

Good luck with the future,
Charlie

Well the information about remarks is all HERE, he'll just need to talk to your school about it

Thank you so much, I am so pleased for myself but obviously so concerned with him. Yea, I think we know that. Think I expected that if anyone were to get a B it would be me; hadn't really prepared myself for this situation. He's ok, its just crushing his pride. He's gone out for a walk with my dog so Im sure he'll be fine... she has a way with words haha.

So guys what does the certificate look like? Are the subjects in alphabetical order or alphabetical order with highest grades first so like
Maths a
Pe a
Chemistry b??????

Come to think of it, I refuse to believe that I performed so poorly in the Advanced Higher Computing paper. My score for the coursework was 78/80 which left me needing 12 marks for a D (according to last years grade boundaries). I for one do not believe that I did not get at least 12 marks in the main paper to at least get me a D as the final.
