A Level Results Day 2019
This year, A Level Results Day falls on the 15th August 2019.
Hopeful students across the country awake to see if they’ve achieved their predicted A Level grades. This day determines whether students wanting to go into higher education have secured a place at their university of choice.
Accessing Results
On the 15th August 2019, results will be published online from 6am. The 6th form or college should provide their students with how to access A Level results. Alternatively, students can go into their 6th form or college to collect a hardcopy of their results.
Students can access UCAS Track from 8am to see whether they have been accepted on their chosen course at their firm university choice.
It is important to remember that the website may be slow when checking A Level results and UCAS, as thousands of students will be logging on at the same time.
Grade Boundaries
Exam grade boundaries are published from 6am, alongside results. Exam boards publish these separately, so students will need to check the individual exam board websites:
Grades Aren’t As Expected?
If students haven’t received the grades they’ve hoped for, there is no need to panic. There are many alternatives; sometimes the firm choice university will still accept lower results than requested. Or they may accept students onto a different course than the one they applied for. Otherwise, the student’s insurance university choice might offer them a place.
Adjustment and clearing are other options, which are done via UCAS Track.
Adjustment
If students have exceeded their offer, they can go through adjustments to apply for other universities, whilst holding their firm offer. This is available from 9am on the 16th August until the 31st August. On results day, 15th August, students can register for this on Track. Student have five days to secure an alternative university.

Clearing
Clearing is for when a student doesn’t receive the results they were expecting. It provides the option of choosing a different course or university. Students can apply for clearing when they haven’t received any offers, or when they have declined the offers they have received. This can be done through the clearing option using UCAS Track.

Other Options?
There are many other options that include: retaking exams and applying next year, doing an apprenticeship, requesting a remark, or going into full-time work.
Thinking About The Future
Well done to everyone whose results went well! Embarking on a new adventure at university is a rewarding experience. If students didn’t achieve they grades they were hoping for, then don’t worry. Explore every possibility, stay calm, and remember there are always other options.
