The BBC reports that a pilot program of the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA),where students learn of their exam results by text had been a success.”The SQA described the trial as the first step in what could be a new results delivery method for the future.Pupils at Anderson High School on Shetland,Kirkwall Grammar School on Orkney, The Nicolson Institute on Lewis and Skye’s Portree High School volunteered to take part in the trial”.

I am a student at Copenhagen Business School and this kind of service has been available for about 2 years now.
The problem is that getting an SMS telling you failed an exam can seriously affect your ability to concentrate on (or enjoy !) the other things you were doing when receiving it.
Think about it before registering !

If BBC publish this report than it would be right. I wish to be a pilot not an ordinary pilot a fighter plane pilot.

I’m going on holiday on the 18th, which means I don’t get my results until the 1st September - a service like that would really help, because I am so worried about it. I know I’m not going to enjoy the holiday so much because I’ll be worrying.
Yeah, if I was at home I wouldn’t sign up for it - collecting your results is a social day at school, and as I’m going to a different college than most people, that would be my last time of seeing a lot of people. But, as I won’t be there, I would love this oppurtunity.
