The lead up to results day can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Nerves, excitement, anticipation, worry. All of them are ok to feel and you’re not alone. It is likely that your friends will be experiencing the same worries.
If you are struggling, speaking to someone such as a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a public health nurse can help. Sometimes, you might need extra help and there are support services who can help, no matter how big or small your worries are.
Here are some services that can help you either before results day or on the day:
