This year has seen a return to formal Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) assessments – exams and coursework – for the first time since 2019.
Around 128,000 learners in 500 schools, colleges and training providers sat national qualifications this year after two million exam papers were issued.
Up to 138,000 certificates will be arriving on doorsteps on Tuesday morning, including a wide range of vocational courses.
However, despite all the assessment uncertainty created by Covid over the past two years, the SQA exam results in 2022 bring a different kind of anxiety.
