MySQA - Delivering exam results a day early
SQA announced that students signing up for the MySQA service will be sent their exam results by text and e-mail a day earlier than when the paper certificates are delivered on Thursday, August 5.
This is a great way to take the anxiety out of waiting for the post and receive exam results direct to individual mobiles and email inboxes – no matter where the students are on Wednesday, August 4.
Students hoping to make use of this service must have registered their details before Thursday July 15 and then have activated their account by 5.00pm on Friday July 23 or they will miss out on electronic delivery.
As an additional incentive, students who register for MySQA will receive a 25% discount on all past papers from Bright Red Publishing, who publish SQA Past Papers & Answers (see the website – http://www.mysqa.info for terms & conditions). All students awaiting National Qualification results will receive these results by postal delivery in the normal way.
Registration for MySQA is simple. Students simply log on to http://www.mysqa.org.uk with their unique Scottish Candidate Number (SCN), and follow the instructions. They then receive a letter from SQA with their activation code with which they can activate their account.
