While thousands of students receive their results by email and text, postal workers still have a busy job delivering 140,000 exam certificates.
The Royal Mail said it will be "pulling out all the stops" to deliver results as early as possible on Tuesday while arrangements are also in place to get results to young Scots in 45 countries around the world.
Derek Keir, the postal service's head of special events planning, said: "This is a massive day for every pupil in Scotland, waiting for their results.
"All of our postmen and women, many of whom have children themselves, understand just how important this day is for families.
"Our people pull out all the stops to ensure the results are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible.
"Royal Mail is used to handling large mailings, having recently delivered all of the postal votes and poll cards for the recent Scottish Parliament elections and the European Union referendum.
"We have worked successfully with the SQA on exam result delivery for many years now and we are delighted to be playing our part in this special day once again."
