Watch: Scottish students sent blank emails instead of exam results
The BBC's Katie Hunter was with a group of students in Glasgow to catch the moment they receive their exam results.
Pupils opted to get their grades by text message or email, but those opening an email from the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) were disappointed to see a blank space where the exam results should be.
The chief executive of the SQA apologised to pupils for a “technical issue” causing a delay to some results sent by email. It's estimated that around 7,000 pupils were affected.
The exams authority posted on social media that text messages weren't impacted and the glitch had been resolved.
