SQA Results' Day Discussion Thread - Tuesday 5 August 2014

Subjects you doing, and what unis you thinking?

Maths, Physics and Graphics. Firm is Imperial College London and insurance is UCL.

I'm sure you'll make them! If you managed to get the conditions in the first place, it usually means the uni thinks you will achieve them. They don't make unrealistic conditions

I felt pretty confident after the exams to be honest, but even if I felt like I had definitely got 100% in all exams there's still always that bit of doubt there. (I didn't get 100% in the exams :tongue:

)

Aaaah! This waiting is killing me!!! I'm stressing out cos I really want to get good results!

Would you say that if you got an A in the prelim and a predicted A in the exam and you worked really hard right until the exam.... you're likely to do well in the end?

How did your predictions turn out? Are you likely to drop below your predicted grades if you worked as hard as you could?

Thanks so much.

I'm so nervous guys! :smile:

But I don't really need to be as I'm already into college so no need for any other good grades. However still wanna do well in Administration and Maths especially my A in Administration last year!

Hoping I get my results soon just so I can go to asleep. :smile:

But I am very nervous and excited about my results. As I didn't struggle in the exams. So hopefully two more great exam grades.

I couldn't go to sleep even if I wanted to. Last year I got them at 1:30 so we'll see if I'm lucky this year. I'm just reading a book trying to distract myself until my email dings.

I would so that in those circumstances, most of the time people will do well. However it doesn't always turn out that way; last year I got the top mark in my year on my history prelim, and never dropped below an A all year but I got a B in the exam. Sometimes regardless of how much preparation you do you just don't perform on the day. But as long as you put in the work, you stand a good chance of an A.

You could be up for another 4/5 hours, maybe it's better just to sleep and get them when you wake up? :smile:

Same here! I'm trying to do everything to distract myself from it but the thought doesn't go away. Not even breathing properly!! It's like wanting to rip a plaster off - just want this over and done with!
