Whether you plan on heading off to university or not, A-Level results day can still be an essential date in the calendar for many students.
With most exams fully returning to pre-pandemic arrangements this year, plenty of students will already be thinking about what will be contained in those envelopes and what it could mean for their future.
However, many students may still have experienced disruption of some kind, and it is imperative to remember that no exam result is the be-all and end-all.
Even if A-level results don’t go your way, plenty of options remain open – from appeals and resits to clearing places, apprenticeships, and other training courses.
So, when is A-Level results day 2023 and when will you get the results?
Here is what you need to know.
When is A-Level results day 2023?
According to Gov.uk, results day will be on August 17, 2023, with results usually available from 8am (or whenever your school or college opens).
Students will be able to pick up their AS level, A level and T Level results.
The Gov.uk site also states that: ‘Students will receive results for level 3 VTQs on or before August 17 and will receive results for level 2 VTQs on or before August 24 2023.’
SQA results are due to be released to students In Scotland on Tuesday, August 8, 2023.
UCAS receives your results directly and will update your hub around 8.15am. However, the service will be incredibly busy, so be patient.
How do students receive their results?
Students should be able to collect their results directly from their school or college.
If, for any reason, that isn’t possible, you should let your school or college know in advance to make alternative arrangements. This could involve someone going in to collect your results for you.
Some schools may choose to publish results online, so check in advance.
