Last One Out Switch Off The Lights...
So it's all over for another year. Most of you seem to have achieved what you set out to achieve. For some of you there is disappointment.
But here's what interests me - for weeks these results were the most important things in your lives, you were living and breathing them, lying awake at night thinking about them, looking for signs and omens of triumph or disaster.
Then they arrived, you opened them, and that was that. Either it's Plan A, or you have to come up with Plan B. And you move on. You see the results are not as important as what they lead to - but pass or fail they do lead to something. You move onto the next thing.
Which is worth remembering next time you're stressing about exams.
Of course there's one person for whom the exams themselves are all important. But enough about me...

Less Than A Month To Go!!!
The big day is getting closer. Before you know it it'll be Text/Email/Envelope Day.
It's weird how we get all superstitious when we're under pressure. I always went to bed in my lucky pyjamas the night before - I don't know why I thought they were lucky as the only memorable thing that every happened while I was wearing them was getting locked out of the house in the middle of winter. But that's another story. I always had hot choc before going to bed, then I'd lie awake until about 6.30. I got up at 7 to wait for the postie (in my day we didn't have MySQA). So by the time he finally arrived I'd fallen asleep on the couch.
The thing is, it always struck me that the results assume a huge importance over the summer, but are a bit of an anticlimax on the day. As soon as you know yours, you immediately move into What Now? mode. Good or bad, they were never as important as the choices they opened up. Results day isn't so much the end of a story as the end of a chapter.
The other thing that always struck me was that surprises didn't often happen. You could tell which of your friends had put the work in, and which had spent rather too much time enjoying themselves. Generally, the hard workers got what they wanted, and the others either scraped by or just missed out. And yet every single one slept like a 5 year old on Xmas eve - i.e. they didn't.
So good luck everyone. I'm sure you'll still go through the same agonies that candidates have always gone through. And in the end, you'll get your results and you'll move on to the next stage.
At least you've got MySQA to take some of the edge off things on the morning itself. You have signed up, haven't you? And you have remembered to activate your account?

It's All Over
Hi everyone
Well the exams are all over and I hope everyone feels confident. So what do you plan to do over the summer? Getting work experience is always good, and some extra cash is always good too. Or perhaps you're taking off to sunnier climes? Let's face it that could be anywhere!
The thing you must o is remember to register for MySQA - AND ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT! I know I keep nagging you about this, but a huge proportion of people who registered last didn't activate their accounts, so didn't get their results by text or email.
My own plans for summer are to sit right here and keep on at you until you do!

Hi Hezz
Glad to hear it!
SAM
Okay
HOH (how many times have you changed your name in the last year?)
Regarding your NABS question, I'm afraid you'll have to discuss that with your school.
Sorry I can't be more help.
SAM
Hi HOH
Speak to the centre where you're doing the missing higher - obviously the other lot have been quicker submitting their entries!
SAM
Ah, I sit the 5th higher at a different centre, who do I contact?
Oh okie thanks sam
Hey guys -
CD, certificates have already been sent out - if you don't receive yours in the next few days you should email SQA with your name, SCN and address and it will be looked into.
CC, if your fifth higher isn't showing it's because your school hasn't sent us an entry for it - you should speak to them asap. I will have to come back to you ont he other question about NABs.
SAM
Hey =]
How do I get my 5th Higher on there?
I was just checking MySqa and I only have 4 of my 5 highers listed under Current Courses
Thank's sam when do i get my new certification?
If your school loses your NAB... do you have to resit it if it hadn't been marked yet? Mine has gone missing
Congrats, I never doubted you for a minute!
SAM
I got my appeal for English
We are doing the appeals certification over the next couple of days, so if anyone tries to login to MySQA from about 10am tomorrow the site will be unavailable.
MySQA will be available again by 5pm on Friday 13 November 2009
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
SAM
Natasha
We will tell your school or college the result of your Appeal by the dates below and they will then pass this information to you.
Urgent Appeals (for entry to higher or further education courses) by 20 September
Higher or Advanced Higher Appeals by 25 September
Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2 and Standard Grade Appeals by 6 November
If your appeal is successful we will update your MySQA account and issue your replacement certificate by the end of November.
For more information about appeals go to www.sqa.org.uk/appeals.
So hopefully you've had good news by now!
SAM
Not as far as I know. Let me check that out for you.
SAM
hi our appeals haven't came in yet have they been delayed ? x
Hi Everyone
I hope you're all working hard for your next exams - and are remembering to sign up for MySQA if you haven't yet.
SAM
No I've not failed I got a 2 but my computing teacher wants to appeal to see if I can get it higher so I'm not too bothered just want to know if it is successful or not so will he find out or will I find out x
Hi Natasha
The simple answer is no, as if you fail nothing will have changed. Except your mood perhaps.
SAM
Hi see with the appeals if they are unsuccesful do you still get another copy of your certificate ? X
