GCSE Results Day!

GCSE Results Day!

GCSE results are released on Thursday 23 August 2018. If you’re collecting your grades on that day, it will probably be the first time you’ve ever picked up formal exam results.

The grades you get will provide you with important qualifications and help you progress onto A-levels or further study. There’s no getting away from the fact that it can be a stressful day so it’s good to be as relaxed and ready as you can.

When you first look at your results, GCSE English and GCSE Maths are the key qualifications to look out for. In the new GCSE number grading system a 4 is roughly equivalent to a C and is likely to be requested as a minimum by schools and colleges if you want to move on to study at a higher level. Some courses may even ask for higher grades so check carefully.

If you got the results you were looking for to either do you’re A levels or go to college then well done!

If you’ve missed out on the 4 grade, especially if it’s by a narrow margin, you can consider applying for a remark or retakes.

If you decide to go to college then you can also retake subjects while studying your chosen course so try not to worry too much!

Continuing with education might not be for everyone, so why not take a look at what you can do with an apprenticeship!
