What you need to know at a glance

Dear student,

It’s getting close to results days, with plans well under way to support those of you who would like to go on to university or college this September. We appreciate that this is a very important time while you consider decisions around next steps, including university offers and UCAS Clearing. Therefore, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to know your options when you get your results, including if you should change your mind.

Here are some things to be aware of before results are issued: 

How will my exam be marked?

How are grade boundaries set? 

How can I appeal against my grades? 

What if my results aren’t what I expected? 

How can I prepare for results day? 

With around 1.2 million students coming to ucas.com each year, we’re here to support everyone who wants to go to university or college this September find the right choice for them. Results day is a huge milestone, so we want you to reflect on your achievements and prepare for the next chapter feeling as informed and confident as you can be. 

Yours faithfully,

Sir Ian Bauckham CBE, Chief Regulator, Ofqual
Dr Jo Saxton CBE, Chief Executive, UCAS
