Careers Scotland exam results helpline - opens 8 August

‘What did you get, then?’ will be the question for thousands of Scottish young people on the morning of 8th August when Standard and Higher Grade results are due to arrive.

For some, exam results will mean confirming their college or career plans; for others, unexpected results – positive or negative – may mean a sudden re-think.

However, help is only a phone call away. Anyone who needs advice before deciding on their next step is encouraged to contact:
