I got AABCD is that okay for my 5th year results? I failed Higher English so I will have to resit that. I want to do International Business. I am annoyed that I got a B in Higher Spanish with an A in the prelim.

I've not received my text or email (not sure which one I signed up for but didnt get either) and nothing in mail yet, not sure if the postman has come already or not though. Seriously freaking out right now, how long will I have to wait for the post before calling my school? A day, a week? Can I even do it during the holiday, I doubt anyone would be there. I've checked my spam folders in email too, nothing.

They are just happy and want to tell people. You probably do things they'd be suprised at :tongue:

The email and text should have arrived by 9am. If the post does not arrive today - it should as it is distributed via first class - then I would suggest contacting your school ASAP.

Is it possible that the email results are different from the results received from the post, has that ever happend?

It's very, very rare, buddy. Your best option at the moment is talking to your teachers at school.

Because it's an important day for them and they want to share the experience with their family and friends?

Perfectly good results, perfectly fine for business. Just have to do well in 6th year as well now. Best of luck, and celebrate today. :woo:

I would imagine your school should have someone in on Results' day!

There's no reason why you shouldn't get your certificate in the mail today, provided they have the correct address.

Not quite the results I wanted - but passed them all 😃
B for H French
B for H Psychology
B for H Business
C for H Biology
C for H English

Really pleased with psychology grade as honestly thought I'd failed the class :smile:

Was annoyed with Biology as was on track for a B... Got a B in prelim & passed all the NABs first time with decent scores.
Was also annoyed with Business as had straight As throughout the year - almost full marks in NABs and Prelims so not happy with the B for that either :tongue:

With Medicine the most important ones are Bio, Chem and Maths so I wouldn't worry too much.

Nope, and if someone's happy about their results and wants to show them off, that's their prerogative. Everyone gets to celebrate in their own way as long as they aren't rubbing it in anyone's faces. :smile:

Absolutely, but do you differentiate between showing them off" and "rubbing it in anyone's face"? I dont.
