Today, students across Scotland will find out their National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher exam results. It’s a tense time for young people keen to move on to further study or the world of work.
This year was the first time that exams were held since the pandemic. Results will be delivered by post on Tuesday, August 9 – except for students who have signed up with MySQA to also receive their grades by text or email from 8am.
Schools also receive the results, as will any universities or colleges students have applied to through Ucas. Courses at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher are graded between A and D, with anyone who scores less than 40% receiving a ‘no award’ result.
