Exam & Prelim Dates

by Emma Davie -

Thank you to everyone who has communicated their sitting at arrangements to me. The main options are Perth (Station Hotel) and Glasgow (Glasgow Clyde College - Langside and Anniesland campuses). Please note: whilst the Perth option is free of charge, GCC will request payment of £30 per exam. A few students have also managed to negotiate sitting at arrangements at their local school or college. This may still be possible but you will need to approach them soon to request. 

I will be communicating our sitting at arrangements to the SQA on 31st October. If you have not contacted me before then you will automatically be assigned to Perth for your exam(s). 

The following lists the dates and times for course prelims and exams. Prelims are conducted via 'remote assessment' which means you will attempt them at home via Zoom. However the SQA exams must be attempted in an SQA-approved centre.

Exam Arrangements - UPDATE 10-10-23

by Emma Davie -

SQA exams for all National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses will take place between 26th April and 28th May 2024 (see course pages for exact dates and times). All students studying courses with us are welcome to sit their exam(s) in Perth, at the Station Hotel. 

Glasgow Clyde College has confirmed they will provide sitting at arrangements for ALL 2024 exams at a cost of £30 per sitting. If you would like to sit your exams at this venue, please let me know. We will collect fees for these sittings in March.

It may also be possible to sit your exam(s) at a school or college more local to you. Some will provide exam arrangements for individuals so it is worth approaching them to ask. Please note: you should request a 'sitting at arrangement' only. Scottish Highers Online is your presenting centre and will liaise with SQA on your behalf. If you plan to make your own exam arrangement, you must communicate this to me by completing and emailing the form below. 

Wherever you intend to sit your exams - in Perth, Glasgow or elsewhere - you must let me know so I can make the necessary arrangements with SQA. Please email me to confirm:

emmadavie@scottishhighersonline.co.uk

Exam arrangements must be in place by 31st October to ensure the smooth running of the 2024 exam diet.
