School pupils across Scotland will receive their exam results today.

This year marked the return of SQA exams for the first time since 2019 after disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

We took to the streets of Glasgow to ask the public what they remembered about their own results day.

Jayn Meaney, 18, from Falkirk, said: “I remember I couldn’t sleep the night before. I just remember thinking, 'I’m not ready for this at all'.

“My fourth year results were decent, my mum was so proud. Fifth year was kind of ignored because of Covid-19 to be honest.

“In sixth year I got my offer to go to St Andrews which I planned and dreamed for, but I got my grades and never went.

“But, I’m going to college for business, so I’m really excited about that. I’ve got a job and I’m doing Team Miss GB in October.

“I’m glad that I didn’t go to university straight from school, and that I took the year off to work and be a teenager, and hopefully now I’ll get something better than what I would have been doing.”

Lewis McCall, 24, from Coatbridge, said: “I did my higher exams about five, six years ago now. I don’t remember too much about them now.

“I suppose you’re always quite apprehensive about what your results are going to be, but I got the results I needed to do the degree I wanted to do, but I don’t want to use that today.

“If I could give advice about results day to anyone, it would be to just not stress about it. Life goes on, your exams aren’t the be-all and end-all.”

Glasgow Times:

Robbie McCormick, 23, who is from Ayrshire but now lives in Glasgow, said: "I remember being pretty happy when I got my results because it gave me quite a few options for what I could do.

“I worked in an office for two years after school and then I left and went to university, and it was quite good to have good results because I can fall back on that as well.

“I was maybe a little bit nervous about the results, but my parents were never pushy about it. They kind of just said 'do as good as you can do,' so I was quite relaxed about it, but I was obviously a little anxious.”

Glasgow Times:

Bill McGuire, 72, from Coatbridge, said: “It was a little worrying doing the exams because it’s always in the back of your mind that you have to do it.

“I knew I wasn’t going to be dux of the class, but I thought as long as I passed that was the main thing - to get over the line.

“I left school and got an apprenticeship and then emigrated to Canada.”
