[Official] SQA 2022 Results Day Discussion and Help thread

I got accepted into my insurance however my firm is still 'awaiting confirmation'. I'm a near miss, should I email the university (their hotline isn't open until tomorrow) or give it more time?

Yep, email them asking how long you should expect to be waiting.

Likelihood is your firm uni is looking to see if they can fish out a candidate with higher grades from clearing. In this scenario, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. The good news is your insurance uni is still in place and you don't need to be thinking about additional options.

One tactic another advisor recommends is telling the uni "if I don't hear by end of today, I would like you to release me please." This forces a judgement, if they want you, they'll offer; if they decline you - they likely would have done this eventually anyway.

Just got AAAAA at Higher (by letter) for Computing, English, Maths, Philosophy and Physics, and feeling very happy + relieved, but I can't find any indication of grade bands, and I'm wandering if those are meant to be on the document (?) Not that I'm super worried about the difference between an A1 and an A2.

i think this is it? https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/102189.html

Welp I didn’t do as good as I thought I would but I have an unconditional for uni anyways so 🥲

Thanks. I wasn't asking about boundaries, but about bands. This is my first "proper" results day so I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to see them.

I'm not sure bandings have been on letters since 2018 or 2019 - so don't think that information will be available. But as above, this is something to ask your teachers.

as far as i know you'll have to ask your teachers for your bands, the sqa don't normally tell us haha

Congratulations on getting into university

What are you doing to celebrate?

Hoping for 5A's and 2B's at Nat 5. What about you?

Nothing in mind atm, I’ll probably just stay home, maybe watch a movie/order some fast food lol.

Ended up getting 2A's (Maths and English) 4B'S (Biology,Chemistry,Graph Comm and Modern studies) and a C (Drama)

S5 - AAAAA (Higher Maths, French, Physics, CompSci, and English) Physics will have been very close I think which made the wait for the letter a little tense. Now doing AH Maths, Physics, and French in S6. Rather pleased with myself given how touch and go much of the year was. : )

if i got a C in my final exam but got an A in the prelims, what are the chances I can get a B/A after i've appealed?

Did your teacher submit an estimate of an A? It's best to talk to them about your alternative evidence and whether that's likely to result in an increase

hoping for AACD at higher (English, Computing, Physics, Maths) and B at N5 Chemistry. Next year I'll doing AH Computing and Higher Geography, History and Chemistry
