How can I get prepared for results day?

Get prepared for results day 

Results day for SQA Highers is Tuesday 8 August 2023 and Thursday 17 August 2023 for A-Levels.

There are a number of things both you and your student can do ahead of time to help you prepare for results day:

• Make sure you fully understand what Clearing is and how it works (see What is Clearing?). 

• Make sure you've signed up for Clearing updates from Abertay.

• Note down clearing helpline number for Abertay +44(0)1382 308080.

• For those in Scotland, find out if your student has signed up for their results be email and/or text. If not, they will receive their results on the day by post.

• For those doing A-levels, results are received from school or college.

• Understand what course choices your student has made and what grades they require.

• Plan for the best case and worst case scenarios.

• Find out if they have a back up plan – if not, make one:

  • Consider different subjects – they don’t have to stick with their original idea.

  • Research universities with courses as options and draw up a short list.

  • You’ll find courses available for Clearing at Abertay on our website.
