Exam results 2025
Results day is almost here! If you’re a parent of an S4–S6 pupil, Tuesday, 5 August will be a big day. Whether your child is waiting for a MySQA text or checking the mailbox for that all important envelope, there will be plenty of excitement - and maybe some nerves!
What actually happens on the day?
- If your child signed up for MySQA, they’ll get results by text or email from 8am.
- If not, results will arrive by post.
Some young people will be over the moon with their results, while others might feel a bit unsure – and that’s perfectly okay. Everyone’s path is unique and there are plenty of positive options to explore, no matter what the results bring.
That’s where Skills Development Scotland (SDS) comes in. If your child is unsure about their next step, the free exam results helpline is there to support them. Whether it’s college, university, apprenticeships or jobs, SDS careers advisers can guide them on what’s next.
The SDS Results Helpline number is 0808 100 8000 and will be open:
Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 August - 8am to 8pm
Thursday 7 and Friday 8 August - 9am to 5pm
Congratulations to all the young people receiving their results - and to you too, parents and carers - you’ve played a huge part in this achievement.
