Thousands of Scottish schoolchildren received their make-or-break exam results this morning and in true Scots style have taken to social media to share the banter.
Over 140,000 pupils received Higher exam results by text, email or from the postman with a record number of students securing university places today.
Some however weren't so fortunate.
Either way, the Scottish patter has been flowing on with a string of hilarious tweets from young Scots today.

How come they can count the results for brexit in one night, but it takes the SQA 3 n a half years to mark our results????

Places secured by university students are up five per cent with 28,000 delighted students celebrating their achievements.
John Swinney, the Education Secretary, said: "Receiving results can be a daunting and nerve-wracking time and I think it is important that we recognise this and make sure all of the students who will receive results today are supported with advice and guidance to make the best possible choices going forward.
"If you get the results you are looking for, then that is obviously fantastic. However, if students do not get what they need this time round, then be assured that there are a huge number of things you can consider and there is support available to help you get where you want to be.
"Whatever the outcome, results tomorrow will be a beginning, rather than an end point and if you are not sure or are looking for some advice then please do use this free helpline."
Love how considerate the SQA are by giving us results on Tuesday instead ae Monday cause as if Monday's could get any worse already

Ucas official Helen Thorne said: "We have got 28,300 Scottish students who have secured a place at university and that is the highest that we have ever seen on Scottish results day.
"We want to say a big congratulations to all of them and when our tracking system opens students will be able to log in and see if they have got their university place."
We failed but we failed together that's aw that matters
