PUPILS in Scots schools are to receive their exam results by text message for the first time.
Around 60 pupils will have the results of their Higher and Advanced Higher exams sent to their mobile phones by the Scottish Qualifications Authority.
The method is being piloted at schools in Orkney, Shetland, Lewis and Skye, and could be introduced in schools across Scotland if it proves a success.
Around 150,000 pupils will get their results in the post on Tuesday but students on the islands will discover their fate a day early. The SQA has described the trial as the first step in what could be a new results delivery method.
Text abbreviations have been agreed for subjects, level of qualification and actual result details.
The SQA said the pilot was part of its drive to continuously improve the delivery of examinations and results
