ScotQuals Chat Thread

it hasn't really hit me yet that I'm actually doing exams this year lol
got my first one on the 26th of April

From what you've said on here, you've been working hard throughout the year. All you can do is your best, but even though you might not feel it just now, I recon you've got this

SQA exams are now only just over a week away, and it can be a stressful time, especially if this will be your first time sitting exams. By helping each other out, hopefully some of this stress can be minimised.

Although they can be daunting, by being prepared, you can maximise your chances of the exams going well. They might not go as you hope, but so long as you try your best, that's all anyone can ask of you.

This thread is a place to chat with others who might also be doing (or have done) SQA exams Whether that's about a teacher who's been annoying you, an exam you're worried about, or a picture of a cake you've baked (). Or you might want to share something that might encourage or help anyone else, such as your own tips or advice.

How's everyone doing today?

hey guys, i don't really go in this forum but just wanted to wish you all the best of luck with your exams- i have faith you'll smash them!
and remember that they're not the end of the world

STESSED!! THEY ARE SOON I'm scared. what if after all my hard work, i don't get the grades i want or worse...I DONT PASS!!

In any exam, you're right, there is a possibility you won't do as well as you want. What's important is that you use the last few days/weeks before each exam the best you can to maximise your chance of achieving what you're capable of. Even if you don't get the grades you want, there will be other ways of achieving the things you want to, and the system is really flexible, so if things don't go to plan, there will be another opportunity to try and get the grades you need for whatever your next step is. For now, focus on doing your best in each exam, and in the days leading up to them.

What year is it you're in, and what subjects are you doing?

I’m in year 10.
I am doing: Higher Maths, English Literature and Language, Triple Science, Art, Drama, Computer Science and Spanish.

Thought I'd repost this from the motivational quotes thread (Thanks Matrix ) Exams might be close, but there is still time, so use it well (both for revision and looking after yourself ), and don't panic!

Aah, can't be much help having done Scottish qualifications, but might be worth checking out the GCSE exam discussion threads if you're doing any of your final exams this year and Year 10 thread over in the GCSEs forum Hope your exams go well
