Students are turning over papers in the first formal SQA exam diet since the start of the pandemic.

Scottish Qualification Authority exams were cancelled for the first time in history and coursework was not marked for National 5, Higher or Advanced Higher courses.

More than 128,000 candidates will sit formal assessments this year and for most, it will be their first time sitting national exams.Aminah, a 6th year pupil at Cumbernauld Academy in North Lanarkshire, told BBC Scotland that she had never sat a formal exam.She said: "It's a lot of pressure, purely because it is our last year and we won't get a chance to try again.

"This is the old classic way that your mum and dad told you about where you came and sat in an exam hall.""Our teachers explained the process to us. These feel a bit more daunting compared to the kind of exams we have sat before.
