A-Level Results 2022
🎓 Good luck to everyone receiving their A level, AS level, T level and Level 3 VTQ results today.
🤞🏻 I remember all too vividly what a stressful time this was, and I wish you all the best.
❓ But it’s worth remembering that if you didn’t get the grades you were hoping for, there are still options. I’ve listed some common questions for you below.
🙋♀️ What should students do if they are disappointed with their grades?
In all cases, students should speak to their school or college for support and advice.
If students are looking to progress to HE, they could speak to their preferred university, who may be able to offer some flexibility and still provide a place. Alternatively, they can consider other university places available through UCAS Clearing.
The “Get The Jump” campaign is promoting the National Careers Service to help students understand their options for the next step in their education or career, particularly if they did not get the results that they were hoping for. Students can also seek advice from the Exam Results Helpline run by the National Careers Service (0800 100 900).
There is support available for students struggling with their mental health, including through Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAHMS) and NHS 111. Young Minds have a range of resources available to support young people’s mental health around the results period including dedicated guidance to both students and parents on managing a ‘disappointing’ results day and where to get help, if needed.
If a student thinks a mistake was made in the way their exam was marked, their school or college can request a copy of the paper and apply for a review of marking/moderation. Students’ marks can go up, down, or stay the same. A priority service is available if students’ HE places depend on the outcome. There may be a fee for this service - but if the review results in a change of grade, the charge will be waived.
