All pupils will be given Digital access to a ‘Your Exams’ Booklet. This can be found via the following link, included in the school website and on our Pupil Teams page. This gives lots of information about how to prepare for exams and what the expectations are on the day. You can click on the following link to access it as well Your Exams – SQA.
Important points to highlight:

- Pupils must be in full school uniform
- Pupils should bring stationery needed for their exam (pen, ruler, calculator etc)
- Pupils should not bring phones, smart watches in to the exam hall at all. All bags must be stored elsewhere with any of these items in them.
