In August, pupils in England will find out their results for GCSEs, A levels, T Levels and VTQ (vocational technical qualifications) exams.
Ahead of results day, schools, colleges and assessment centres should contact pupils directly to tell them how and when to collect them. They’ll also be able to answer any questions you have ahead of the day.
Here’s what you need to know about exam results this year.
GCSE results day is on Thursday 22 August.
Results for Level 1, Level 1/2 and Level 2 VTQs will also be available on or before this date.
Normally, pupils will be able to go to their school or college and collect their results in person where they can get advice from their teachers.
Alternatively, schools will send results to pupils in the post or by email.
AS level, A level and T Level results day is on Thursday 15 August.
Results for VTQs at Level 3 taken alongside or instead of A levels, such as BTECs, will be released to pupils on or before Thursday 15 August.
Results can be emailed or sent in the post, but it’s a good idea to go into school or college to receive your results so you can get support from teachers and career advisers to discuss your options, especially if your results might affect your plans for September.
If you’re applying to university via UCAS, you can track your application online.
Between 2019 and 2022, we saw a significant increase in the number of entries receiving top grades, due to disruption caused by the pandemic.
Last year saw a return to pre-pandemic grading arrangements, and overall national results were similar to those of 2019. Ofqual have confirmed that they are continuing with normal grading this year.
This is key to making sure exam qualifications are trusted – it means that universities and employers understand the performance of candidates, have confidence in their qualifications, and can use them to help them progress into the right opportunities.
Your school or college and your teachers will support you if don’t get the results you hoped for or if your plans change based on the results you get.
Remember, there are many different exciting options to take after school and college.
